“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.”

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?

More than 160 travel eSIM providers and more than 3, 800 prepaid data plans are available in Mauritius, offering a wide variety of options that make it easy for travelers to find an eSIM that suits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Mauritius?

Unlimited data eSIM options are available through several providers that can be used in Mauritius. Yesim, Roamify, and MicroEsim each offer plans with no data cap that run for 1 to 30 days, though speeds may be throttled after a certain threshold is reached. Prices for these unlimited plans range from approximately $5.37 to $607.11 USD, depending on the provider and chosen validity period. Travelers who prefer consistent data usage for streaming, navigation, or social media can pick one of these plans, keeping in mind the possible speed throttling that may occur on high‑usage devices.

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?

Yes, travel eSIMs that include a phone number and SMS service are available for Mauritius. Providers such as GlobaleSIM, ESIM.DOG, JamboSim, Esimtofly, LinkeSIM and Airhub offer such plans, and the list continues with other operators in the market. Only Airhub (dialing code +230) and RedEx eSIM provide a local Mauritian number; the other operators issue foreign numbers (mostly +1 for North America or +33 for France).

All listed plans support inbound and outbound voice (with JamboSim offering outbound only) and SMS, with pricing starting around $6 USD for the smallest 1 GB, 7‑day packages and rising to several hundred dollars for 20‑to‑100 GB, 30‑to‑365‑day options.
