“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.”

Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Mauritius

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 with voice and SMS are available for Mauritius. Several providers offer such services, including GlobaleSIM, ESIM.DOG, JamboSim, Airhub, and RedEx eSIM. Many of these plans use the Mauritian dialing code +230, which gives you a local number that can receive calls and texts in Mauritius. Other plans use foreign dialing codes such as +1 (U.S./Caribbean territory) and still provide inbound and outbound voice as well as SMS, but the number will not be local to Mauritius.

Typical offerings range in data cap from 1 GB to 100 GB, with validity periods from 7 days to 365 days and prices starting around $6 USD and going up to about $69 USD, depending on the data amount and features such as tethering or 5G support. The specific voice and SMS capabilities vary: GlobaleSIM, ESIM.DOG, Airhub, and RedEx eSIM provide both inbound and outbound voice and SMS, while JamboSim offers outbound voice and SMS only. These options allow travelers to maintain a working phone number and receive text messages while visiting Mauritius.
