You'll probably use this data for an arrival message in Abidjan, a map route to a meeting, or the drive to Grand-Bassam. Ask your host for the neighbourhood plus an entrance pin, and save the address exactly as they write it. If you're visiting family, the same saved message works to show a driver.

These recommendations cover your airport pickup. Arrange it before you travel and save the driver's instructions. Check flight information on the airport's official site. If your arrival changes, message the new details while you still have a connection and agree where to wait.
For an address in Plateau, Cocody or another part of Abidjan, ask for a building name and an exact map pin. Save the address in French if that's how your host writes it; you can show the same saved message to a driver when your phone can't connect.
Set up WhatsApp or another messaging app before the trip. A data-only eSIM supports your existing account but cannot provide the ordinary phone call or SMS some booking services request.
Save before you goTransfer instructions, your accommodation entrance and your contact's preferred messaging app.
UNESCO lists the historic town of Grand-Bassam for its colonial layout and architecture alongside the N'zima fishing village. Use the heritage area as a starting point, then confirm on the day which buildings or museums you can enter.
Save the location of your first stop and agree where your return driver will meet you. If your group splits up, send a specific building or street-corner pin rather than the name of the whole historic town.
Download a local map before leaving Abidjan. The same country plan works in Grand-Bassam where the listed network is available, but saved directions help if reception drops or your data runs low.
Save before you goThe heritage-area map, your planned first stop and the return meeting spot.
