“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 more than 130 travel eSIM providers and over 2, 900 prepaid data plans, providing a wide variety of options that make it easy for travelers to find an eSIM that matches their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Mauritius?

Several eSIM providers that operate in Mauritius offer unlimited data options, including abesteSIM, Yesim, MicroEsim, and Roamify. These plans are valid for 1 to 30 days and have price ranges that span from roughly $7.90 to $506.02 USD, depending on the provider and specific plan features. While the data is unlimited, most plans note that speeds may be throttled after certain thresholds or during peak usage periods. Travelers can choose a plan that aligns with both their budget and anticipated data consumption, keeping in mind the possibility of speed adjustments.

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 for Mauritius are available from several providers, including GlobaleSIM, Esimtofly, LinkeSIM, Orange Travel, Earth Esim and Roamify. These plans offer inbound and outbound voice calls on all options, and inbound SMS on every plan, with outbound SMS available on the Esimtofly, LinkeSIM, Orange Travel, Earth Esim and Roamify packages. The data caps range from 1 GB to 20 GB, validity periods span 7 to 30 days, and prices start around $6 and can rise to about $87 depending on the chosen data allowance and feature set.

All of the phone numbers supplied by these plans use foreign dialing codes—either +1 or +33—rather than the local Mauritius code. Consequently, the eSIM number will receive calls and texts from Mauritius but outgoing calls and messages will be treated as international. Travelers can also use the data portion of the eSIM to make VoIP calls and send messages over the internet if they wish to avoid international tariffs.
