“Hello, I bought an eSIM for the Seychelles and it's not working. They are unreachable on their help site! I had to send 6 or 7 messages without any response! They know how to cash in but not refund or send a new QR code to troubleshoot... absolutely terrible after-sales service 👎 don't go with them, total scam!! And one star because I'm obligated to give at least that. Real scammers! They don't refund anything on top of that.”

“I will not use this eSIM provider any more, and wouldn’t recommend it. I bought 3GB for 14 days, but was able to use it only for 1 day, because Internet connection was not available even though all configuration was correct.”

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Seychelles?

In Seychelles, the primary Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) are:

Cable & Wireless Seychelles: Offers a comprehensive range of mobile services, including 4G and 5G connectivity, with extensive coverage across the main islands.
Airtel Seychelles: Provides a variety of mobile services, including 4G connectivity, and holds a significant share of the mobile market in the country.

Additionally, there are local Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) in Seychelles that offer mobile services by leasing access from major carriers. These MVNOs often provide niche services or cater to specific customer segments. 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 Seychelles?

Travel eSIM plans that give a phone number and support SMS are available for Seychelles. The cheapest option starts at about $5.00 with a 1 GB, 7‑day plan from GlobaleSIM, and the portfolios extend up to 20 GB for $105.00 over 365 days. Providers that offer these plans include GlobaleSIM, ESIM.DOG, JamboSim, Roamify, RedEx eSIM and Orange Travel. Most of the plans use the +1 dialing code, which provides an international number rather than a local Seychelles number. RedEx eSIM is the only plan that gives a local +248 number that matches Seychelles’ country code, while Orange Travel’s +33 numbers are French.

All of the listed options include inbound and outbound voice calling ability and support inbound or inbound/outbound SMS, depending on the specific plan. Validity periods range from 7 days to 365 days, so travelers can choose a short‑term stay or a long‑term visit. These plans let you make and receive calls and texts as if you had a traditional SIM card, while still enjoying data connectivity on your existing device.
