Cell Phone Rental for Tanzania

Rent a cell phone for use in Tanzania. With a cell phone rental, you will also need to purchase a Tanzania SIM card. The prepaid International SIM card in conjunction with a rented or purchased GSM phone is the most convenient solution for making cell phone calls, whether you are in Tanzania over 115 other countries.

Regardless of where you will be, you will always retain the same phone number. Outgoing rates, with few exceptions, are approximately 50 cents per minute for domestic and international phone calls as outlined below. Incoming calls, with few exceptions, are the same.

Since these cellular phone cards are prepaid, there is no need for a contract, no minimums and no surprise credit card statements. For many people, purchasing a cellular phone is a smarter option to renting while traveling in Tanzania.
