Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Mozambique?

Yes, travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS capability are available for Mozambique. Providers such as GlobaleSIM, Roamify, and MoreMins eSIM offer these options, with validity periods ranging from 7 days to 365 days and prices that start around $5 and can rise to about $105 for the longest plans.

All of the listed plans give the user an outbound and inbound voice line and SMS facilities, but the phone numbers are not local to Mozambique. The dialing codes supplied by the plans are +1 (for most GlobaleSIM and Roamify offers), +33 for a Roamify 10‑GB plan, and +44 for several Roamify and MoreMins eSIM options, meaning the numbers come from other countries rather than Mozambique itself.
