In a move set to transform the way Africans stay connected when they travel, Sotel, a Termii Inc. brand, has launched its game-changing global travel eSIM offering seamless, prepaid data access in over 180 countries and regions worldwide.
As Africa’s outbound travel continues to surge with over 74 million international arrivals recorded in 2023 (UNWTO, 2024) and global digital nomadism rising by 131% since 2020 (MBO Partners, 2023) the need for reliable, roaming-free connectivity has never been more urgent. Sotel’s eSIM is designed for today’s mobile-first, globally connected traveler, from digital nomads and entrepreneurs to students and pilgrims.
“Sotel puts seamless internet in your pocket, no roaming shock, no SIM hassle, just pure global access,” said Atinuke Idowu, Cofounder & COO at Termii Inc.

Stay Connected Everywhere You Go with Sotel eSIM
Why it matters
In a world where 78% of travelers say staying online abroad is a top priority (Statista, 2022) and global roaming fees can exceed $10 per MB in some markets (OECD, 2021), Sotel redefines what it means to roam. It’s more than connectivity — it’s freedom, control, and peace of mind for Africans abroad.
Built with regional realities in mind, this launch marks a pivotal step in placing African travelers at the center of global connectivity. Sotel is designed to meet their needs first — delivering borderless travel internet with the simplicity, flexibility, and affordability they deserve.
