“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 include a phone number and SMS for Seychelles are available from several providers. Providers that offer such plans include GlobaleSIM, JamboSim, ESIM.DOG, Roamify, RedEx eSIM, and Orange Travel. Most of these plans use a foreign dialing code (for example, +1 for the United States or +33 for France), so the number is not a local Seychelles number. RedEx eSIM is the only option that supplies a local Seychelles number with dialing code +248, while Orange Travel and Roamify’s Seychelles‑named plans use the French code +33. All listed plans support inbound and outbound voice calls and SMS, and prices generally start around $5 for a 7‑day 1 GB plan and can extend to $105 for a 365‑day 20 GB plan, with validity periods ranging from 7 days to 365 days.
