“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 160 travel eSIM providers and 4, 000 prepaid data plans available for Mauritius. Because of the wide variety of options, travelers can easily find an eSIM that fits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Mauritius?

Yes, there are unlimited data eSIM options for Mauritius that can be activated online. Several providers – Yesim, Roamify, abesteSIM, and MicroEsim – offer plans with no data cap for validity periods ranging from 1 to 30 days. Most of these unlimited packages allow tethering, but the speed may be throttled after a certain threshold of usage. Prices for the unlimited plans vary widely, typically starting around $5.70 USD and extending beyond $600 USD for longer or higher‑bandwidth options.

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 capability are available for Mauritius from several providers on the eSIMDB database. The plans that offer both inbound and outbound voice and SMS, or inbound voice with outbound SMS, come from providers such as GlobaleSIM, ESIM.DOG, JamboSim, Esimtofly, LinkeSIM, and EtravelSIM, with additional options from Airhub, eSIMX, RedEx eSIM, Orange Travel, RoameSIM, and Earth Esim. Many of these plans use the United States dialing code +1, meaning the number is foreign to Mauritius; a few offer local numbers with the Mauritius code +230, which is used by Airhub and RedEx eSIM.

Prices for these bundled plans start around $6 for a 1 GB, 7‑day package and climb to roughly $85 for a 100 GB, 30‑day package, with validity periods ranging from a single day up to a full year. Voice and SMS functions vary slightly between providers but most allow inbound and outbound calls and texts, while some limit outbound voice or SMS only. The choice of dialing code therefore determines whether you receive a local Mauritius number or a foreign number—consult each provider’s details to ensure it meets your needs for destination calling.
