Internet coverage in northern and central Mali, including historical cities like Timbuktu (Tombouctou) and Gao, is highly variable and often limited. While CoreESIM provides robust 4G/LTE connectivity in the capital Bamako and southern regions like Sikasso, network infrastructure diminishes significantly further north. Users should expect primarily 2G/3G service, if any, in these areas. Data speeds will be considerably slower, suitable for basic messaging but not for streaming or heavy data use. Contingency plans for offline access are advised.
Is internet coverage available in Timbuktu and Gao via CoreESIM?
