“I selected their best coverage plan for 10 GB and I had no coverage at all. I failed to set up at the airport, in the taxi. Then I connected for a while at the hotel beach, but I could not connect anymore again. Total waste of money, they refused to refund because I used 64 MB of data already. Then I purchased Yesim 1 GB and had the coverage immediately.”

“Terrible connection. 90% of the time, 3G coverage. 4G rarely appears. 5G is absent.”

Mauritius Travel eSIM FAQ

Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Mauritius

How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Mauritius, and how many prepaid data plans are there?

Mauritius offers around 150 travel eSIM providers and more than 3, 700 prepaid data plans, giving travelers a wide variety of options to choose from.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Mauritius?

Unlimited data eSIM plans for Mauritius are available through several providers. Yesim, Roamify, and MicroEsim all offer plans that allow an unlimited data allowance for 1 to 30 days on 5G networks, with tethering permitted; some plans may experience speed throttling after a certain usage threshold. Prices for these unlimited options span from roughly $5.34 up to more than $600 USD, depending on the specific validity period and additional features selected.

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Mauritius?

Mauritius hosts several major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) that provide extensive coverage and services across the island:

My.T (Mauritius Telecom): The incumbent provider, offering comprehensive 2G, 3G, and 4G/LTE services, with coverage extending to Rodrigues and Agalega islands.
Emtel: A prominent operator delivering 2G, 3G, 4G/LTE, and 5G services, with its 5G network covering approximately 80% of the population as of 2024.
Chili (MTML): Operated by Mahanagar Telephone Mauritius Limited, providing 2G and 3G services, with coverage primarily in urban areas.

In Mauritius, Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) lease network access from these major carriers to offer their own mobile services. However, most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of the primary MNOs rather than MVNOs.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Mauritius?

Travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS for Mauritius are available from several providers. GlobaleSIM, JamboSim, Esimtofly, LinkeSIM, EtravelSIM, Airhub, and others offer such plans. Only Airhub (and a small selection of other providers such as RedEx eSIM) provide a local Mauritius phone number with the dialing code +230; the remaining plans use foreign dialing codes such as +1, +33, 376, etc., and therefore do not give a local Mauritius number.

Most of the listed plans support inbound and outbound voice calls and SMS, while some offer outbound communication only. Prices start at about $6 for a 1 GB 7‑day plan from GlobaleSIM, with validity periods ranging from 7 days up to 365 days for larger data packages. The plans that use a foreign dialing code will still allow you to place and receive international calls and send SMS, but local calls within Mauritius will not be covered unless the plan includes a local number.
