“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

With roughly 140 travel eSIM brands and about 3, 200 prepaid data plans available for Seychelles, there is a wide variety of options to choose from, making it easy to find an eSIM that suits your needs.

Unlimited data eSIM plans for Seychelles can be obtained from two providers. Truely offers plans that allow unlimited use with the possibility of speed throttling, with prices ranging from roughly $20.80 to $237.12 USD for validity periods of one to thirty days. Yesim also provides unlimited data plans with similar speed‑throttling conditions, priced between about $40.63 and $114.93 USD for the same time frames. Both providers allow tethering and support 5G (for Truely) or other cellular standards.

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 eSIMs that include a phone number and SMS are available for Seychelles. Providers such as GlobaleSIM, ESIM.DOG, JamboSim, Roamify, RedEx eSIM, and Orange Travel offer plans that grant a telephone number and support voice (inbound or inbound/outbound) and SMS (inbound or inbound/outbound) services. The majority of these plans use the dialing code +1, which is not the Seychelles national code, so the number will be a foreign number. RedEx eSIM is unique in that it uses the Seychelles dialing code +248, providing a genuine local number.

Plan options vary in data capacity from 1GB to 20GB, validity periods from 7 days to 365 days, and prices starting around $5.00 for a 1GB/7 days package with GlobaleSIM and climbing to about $105 for the highest‑end 20GB/365‑day offerings such as Roamify or JamboSim. Cheaper packages that include voice and SMS typically range from $5 to $50, while higher‑capacity bundles with 10GB or more are priced between $35 and $110. Travelers can also consider the RedEx eSIM as an option with a local number, priced at $35.89 for a 10GB/30‑day bundle.
