“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?

There are more than 200 travel eSIM providers and more than 6300 prepaid data plans available for Mauritius. With a wide variety of options, travelers can easily find an eSIM that suits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Mauritius?

Yesim, Earth Esim, ASIMGO, and Roamify all offer unlimited data eSIM plans for Mauritius. The plans range from 1 to 30 days of validity, with Earth Esim also providing a 15‑day option. Prices vary from about $5.63 to $266.00 USD, so the overall price range for unlimited data plans is roughly $5.63 to $266.00. All providers allow tethering, but the data may be throttled after a certain usage threshold; Earth Esim limits speed to 1 Mbps, ASIMGO to 5 Mbps, while Yesim and Roamify do not specify a hard speed cap but note that speeds may be reduced. All plans operate on 5G networks.

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 support are available for Mauritius from several independent providers. The cheapest option is a GlobaleSIM Mauritius plan that offers 1 GB of data for 7 days at $6.00 USD; other providers such as JamboSim, ESIM.DOG, Esimtofly, LinkeSIM, and EtravelSIM also offer plans ranging from 1 GB to 20 GB for periods of 7 days to 31 days, with prices that start around $6 USD and can go up to $30 USD for typical monthly packages.

Each of these plans provides inbound and/or outbound voice calling capability and supports SMS, but the phone numbers assigned are not local Mauritius numbers. The dialing codes used are +1 (United States/Canada region), +33 (France), or +376 (Moldova), which means the numbers appear as foreign to Mauritius. Travelers may therefore need to verify that VoIP services they rely on, such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage, remain accessible in Mauritius before purchasing a plan.
