Giga.Tel eSIM Data Plans for Mauritius

Giga.Tel does not provide a truly unlimited high‑speed data eSIM for travelers in Mauritius. Plans that carry the word “Unlimited’’ in their name actually offer a capped amount of data – for example, the Global Unlimited 5 days plan supplies 1 GB per day for 5 days, after which speed is throttled to 512 kbps.

If a traveler needs a larger data allowance, Giga.Tel does have fixed plans such as the Global 20 GB plan, which gives 20 GB for 30 days, or the Mauritius 10 GB plan that offers 10 GB for 30 days. These paid plans are typically more cost‑effective for heavy‑data users than repeatedly purchasing short‑term “Unlimited’’ packages that impose speed reductions.

Giga.Tel does not offer eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capability for Mauritius. Only data‑only plans are available with this provider. Travelers can still use voice and messaging through popular VoIP apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage, which work over the data connection without requiring a local phone number or SMS service.

Giga Tel currently lists five single‑country data plans for Mauritius and thirteen multi‑country data plans that include Mauritius in their coverage. Prices range from about USD 8.50 to USD 196, while data caps span 1 GB to 20 GB and validity periods run from a single day up to thirty days. Among the Mauritius‑specific plans, five are daily‑data‑cap options that reset each day, and thirteen are fixed‑data‑cap options for a set amount of data. Some plans also offer limited‑speed (512 kbps) or tethering rights.
