Use of data in Namibia

Bourlon — Fri, 09 Jan 2026 10:58:44 GMT

My son is in Namibia. I travel next week. We have a family sim and I am the main account holder.How do I set up my mobile for both of us to use data in Namibia.

Namibia is not on the roaming list.

How do I set Rest of the World roaming?

@Bourlon

As it's not on the roaming list as Namibia or Republic of Namibia it's quite possible roaming won't be available there at all. Someone else may be able to advise. I have no idea of the telecommunication infrastructure there but you may need to purchase a local sim on arrival. If your sons already there what's he using?

@63johnw

Any ideas?

Hi @Bourlon as mentioned by @Daniel0210 it's not listed so doesn't look like sky have any agreements with networks there. All you can do is look at international roaming sims (look via google) or get a local sim on arrival.
