Straight answers.
Do Sotel data plans expire?
No. A Sotel bundle has no validity period: the data stays on your line until you use it. When it runs out, top up any time. Your phone number stays active.
Can I keep my current phone number?
Yes. Nigeria’s number portability rules let you move your phone number between networks. Start the port, verify with your NIN, and your phone number continues on Sotel.
Why do you need my NIN?
SIM registration in Nigeria requires a National Identification Number. It is a rule for every network, not a Sotel policy. You give it when you activate, not when you reserve.
What is an eSIM?
A SIM built into your phone. Instead of putting in a card, you scan a QR code and the line activates. If your phone doesn’t support eSIM, a physical SIM does the same job.
Where does Sotel work?
Sotel works in every state in Nigeria, for calls, data and SMS. When you travel, the Sotel travel eSIM gives you data in more than 180 other countries.
