Provided by Vodafone UK . When I crossed the border from South Africa to Mozambique I was calling a number in South Africa when I was logged in to a Mozambican cell a got blocked right after that. A reactivation was not possible. No compensation nothing.
In Mozambique there are about 80 providers and more than 700 prepaid data plans available for travelers, offering a wide variety of options that make it easy to find an eSIM that suits individual needs.
There are currently no eSIM providers offering plain unlimited data plans specifically for Mozambique. Travelers should estimate their expected data consumption based on the activities they plan to undertake—such as streaming video, uploading photos, or using social media—and choose a plan that provides enough data allowance to cover those needs comfortably. This approach helps ensure that the selected eSIM plan supports the desired level of internet usage without unexpected throttling or data limitations.
Movitel: "A major telecommunications provider in Mozambique, offering extensive network coverage and a range of mobile services."
Vodacom Mozambique: "A leading mobile network operator, providing widespread coverage and various mobile services across the country."
TMCEL (Telecomunicações de Moçambique): "A key player in Mozambique's telecommunications sector, offering mobile services and network coverage nationwide."
Mozambique does not have any Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs).
Travel eSIMs that provide a phone number with voice and SMS capabilities are available for use in Mozambique. The offers that meet these requirements come from GlobaleSIM, Roamify and MoreMins eSIM.
All of the listed plans assign a virtual number that does not use Mozambique’s local dialing code; most use +1, while a few options use +33 or +44. Every plan supports inbound and outbound voice calls, and SMS is available inbound for the +1 numbers and both inbound and outbound for the +33 and +44 numbers. Prices start around $6.00 for a 7‑day 1 GB plan and can rise to roughly $105.00 for a 365‑day 20 GB plan, with validity periods ranging from a single day up to several months.
