“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 190 travel eSIM providers and more than 5, 300 prepaid data plans. With such 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?

Unlimited data eSIM plans for Mauritius are offered by Yesim, Roamify, and Bloomy eSIM. All three providers provide 5G connectivity and allow tethering, though some plans warn that speeds may be throttled after a certain amount of use. The price ranges vary by provider and plan length: Yesim offers unlimited plans from $5.80 to $114.78 USD, Roamify from $15.00 to $266.00 USD, and Bloomy eSIM from $28.00 to $253.09 USD. Travelers can select a plan that fits their budget and anticipated data needs, keeping in mind any potential speed throttling that may occur.

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 for Mauritius are available from several providers. Among the most affordable options are GlobaleSIM, ESIM.DOG, Esimtofly, LinkeSIM, EtravelSIM and Earth Esim. These plans typically use foreign dialing codes, such as +1 (United States/Canada) or +33 (France), so the phone number will not be a local Mauritius number; a provider that offers a local +230 number is RedEx eSIM, although it appears as a more expensive option. All of the listed plans support inbound and outbound voice calls and SMS, and acceptance of the dialing code indicates the origin of the SIM number.

The data allowances range from 1 GB to 20 GB and validity periods vary from 7 days up to 30 days, with some entry‑level plans costing as little as $6.00 for a 1 GB, 7‑day data package. Travelers may also choose larger or longer‑term packages, with prices generally rising in proportion to data volume and validity. While the phone number and SMS functionality are included, if a traveler requires international calls outside of the included plan, they can thereby rely on VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage over the data plan, keeping in mind that certain services may be limited or blocked in Mauritius.
