Not sure how to edit, so if someone wiki-savy wants to incorporate this above, please do.

As of November 2014, an Orange SIM costs 5,000 XOF from a street vendor and includes 6,000 XOF of credit and a small amount of data (~20Mb?). No problem getting the SIM cut down to size (micro or nano) on the street and instant access with an unlocked iPhone (APN settings automatically updated?). For whatever its worth, I went with Orange as hotel staff told me "then you can call anyone", so perhaps they have better reception or less outward caller restrictions?

Once you've loaded credit, dial #1234# and select option 1. Data plans are: 20Mb for XOF200 150Mb for XOF1,000 500Mb for XOF2,000 2Gb for XOF5,000 10Gb for XOF19,000

The 2Gb is valid for a month; unsure for the rest. Alternatively, at www.passorange.sn there are options for unlimited data for 30min (250 XOF), 1hr (400 XOF), 1 day (1,000 XOF) or 1 week (5,000 XOF) but I didn't use these and they may only apply to Facebook use??
