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.

GlobaleSIM

Markoused in Seychelles 🇸🇨

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.

The second provides unlimited plans ranging from 1 to 30 days, priced between about $21 and $237, with the possibility of speed throttling and support for tethering.

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, a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS capability is available for Seychelles. The two providers that offer such plans are GlobaleSIM and Roamify. GlobaleSIM’s plans start at 1 GB for 7 days for $5.00 and go up to 15 GB for 30 days for $54.00, while Roamify’s plans begin at 1 GB for 7 days for $15.00 and extend to 20 GB for 365 days for $105.00, many of which include tethering. Both providers deliver voice inbound and outbound service, and their SMS coverage differs: GlobaleSIM offers inbound SMS only, whereas Roamify provides both inbound and outbound SMS.

All GlobaleSIM plans use the dialing code +1, which the dataset treats as a local code for Seychelles, allowing you to make and receive calls and texts as if you had a local number. Roamify also supplies a plan with dialing code +33, meaning the assigned number originates from a foreign country and will not be local to Seychelles. Plan validity varies from 7 days to 365 days, offering flexibility for short‑term visits or extended stays.
