Mobile Roaming

Mobile Roaming by Orange Botswana lets both prepaid and postpaid customers use their mobile services—calls, SMS, and data—while travelling across over 80 countries worldwide. Roaming rates vary by destination zone, and activation must be done from Botswana (1411# for prepaid, call 123 for postpaid). Deactivation can also be done upon return (1412#). You’ll get a confirmation SMS, and roaming charges are billed at set rates per zone, without needing to change your number.
