Sudan coverage

Quality tier B. Two networks, reliable 4G, 5G in places. Fine for everything except heavy tethering.

networks available

Which network you get

Carrier	Role	5G
Zain Sudan	Primary, used by default	4G only
MTN Sudan	Failover, used when the primary degrades	4G only
Sudani	Failover, used when the primary degrades	4G only

You do not choose between them. If the network you are on gets congested we move you to the other one automatically, in the middle of your trip, and tell you afterwards.

A single carrier provider cannot make this move.

How we measure

Orbislo devices report connection quality on real traffic, never synthetic speed tests, because a speed test spends your data to tell us something we can measure for free. Reports carry the carrier, the radio type, the throughput and a coarse location of roughly one kilometre. No precise location is ever collected, nothing is published below a sample of 25, and you can switch the whole thing off in one tap.

Measured from real sessions, never from a speed test we ran ourselves.

What happens in Sudan when the network is busy

Congestion is not a fault, it is a Tuesday evening. The question is what your eSIM can do about it, and for most travel eSIMs the answer is nothing: one wholesale agreement per country, one network, and no way out except buying a second eSIM from somebody else while standing in the street.

Here, Orbislo traffic runs over Zain Sudan, MTN Sudan and Sudani. When the network you are on degrades we move you to another one, mid trip, without you asking, and tell you afterwards rather than interrupting you at the time.

Questions about Sudan

Which network will I be on in Sudan?

Zain Sudan, MTN Sudan or Sudani. Orbislo moves you to whichever is performing better where you are standing, without asking you and without you noticing.

Can I tether a laptop?

Yes, on every plan, at the same allowance as your phone data and at no extra cost. At 32.1 Mbps expect a tethered laptop in Sudan to be fine for email and documents and strained by video calls.

What if I get no signal at all in Sudan?

Open the app and use your free rescue data: 100 MB a month, on every account, in over 200 countries, and it works at a zero balance. It exists for exactly this moment, because needing data in order to buy data is not a situation anybody should be put in. If that cannot find a network either, message us from the app and we will sort it.

Will my phone work in Sudan?

If it supports eSIM and is not carrier locked, yes. We check your exact model before you pay and tell you plainly if it will not work, rather than taking the money and leaving you to find out on arrival.
