“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.”

Seychelles Travel eSIM FAQ

Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Seychelles

How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Seychelles, and how many prepaid data plans are there?

In Seychelles, more than 100 travel eSIM providers offer over 1700 prepaid data plans. With such a wide variety of options, travelers can easily find an eSIM that fits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Seychelles?

Unlimited data eSIM plans for Seychelles are currently offered by Truely. This provider’s plans run for between 1 and 30 days and are priced from about $20.80 to $237.12 USD. While the data allowance is unlimited, users may experience speed throttling, and the network is 5G. Travelers seeking an unlimited option should choose a Truely plan that fits their budget and desired validity period.

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?

Yes, travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS service are available for Seychelles. The providers that offer such plans are GlobaleSIM, Roamify, and TravelKon. All of these plans support inbound and outbound voice calls, and most of them allow inbound SMS; Roamify and TravelKon also include outbound SMS and support a 5G network. The phone numbers that come with the plans use either the +1 dialing code—used for the United States and other North American territories—or the +33 dialing code for France. This means that the numbers are not local Seychelles numbers, but they are valid for international dialing and can receive calls and messages while you are in Seychelles. Prices start at around $5.00 USD for a 1GB data plan that lasts 7 days and rise to roughly $105.00 USD for a 20GB data plan with a 365‑day validity. The validity periods of the plans range from 7 days to 365 days, giving travellers a range of options to fit their stay.
