“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 130 travel eSIM brands and 3000 prepaid data plans. With a wide variety of options, travelers can easily find an eSIM that matches their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Mauritius?

Unlimited data eSIM plans for Mauritius are offered by several providers. abesteSIM, Yesim, MicroEsim, and Roamify each sell unlimited data packages that can be valid anywhere from one to thirty days (Roamify allows up to fifteen days). All of these plans support tethering, but expect the speed to be throttled after a certain amount of data usage. The cost of these plans varies widely, with prices ranging from about $8 to $506 USD, giving travelers a range of options depending on their duration of stay and budget.

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 eSIMs that supply a phone number and support SMS are available for Mauritius. Providers such as GlobaleSIM, Esimtofly, LinkeSIM, Orange Travel, Earth Esim, and Roamify offer plans that include inbound and outbound voice and SMS, with data allowances ranging from 1 GB to 20 GB and validity periods of 7 days to 30 days. The phone numbers on these plans use dialing codes +1 (for GlobaleSIM) or +33 (for Esimtofly, LinkeSIM, Orange Travel, Earth Esim, and Roamify), meaning the numbers are not local Mauritius (+230) numbers even though the plans work while you are in Mauritius. For travelers who want a truly local Mauritius number with SMS capability, no current travel eSIM plans provide that; the only plans that deliver a local number (+230) come from Airhub, but they do not include SMS support. Prices start around $6 for a 1 GB plan and can rise to roughly $87 for a 20 GB plan, with most offerings capped at a one‑month validity.
