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

Travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS are available for Mozambique. Providers such as GlobaleSIM, Roamify, Orange Travel, Airhub, MoreMins eSIM and TravelKon offer these bundles, and other operators also supply similar products. Most of the plans use foreign dialing codes, for example +1 (US), +44 (UK) or +33 (France), so the phone number is not a local Mozambique number. Only Airhub’s Mozambique 30GB data with calls 30‑day plan supplies a local phone number with the Mozambique dialing code +258, while still providing inbound and outbound voice and SMS.

All listed plans provide inbound and outbound voice calls and SMS. Prices start at about $6.00 for a 1GB 7‑day data package and can reach roughly $101.00 for a 20GB 365‑day bundle. Validity periods range from one week to a year, giving travellers flexibility depending on the length of their stay. If a local Mozambique number is important, the Airhub 30GB 30‑day plan is a suitable choice; otherwise, the foreign-number options still allow full telecommunications functionality while connected to Mozambique.
