Coverage & network in Mauritius
For Mauritius, an eSIM is the boring, reliable option — one QR code before departure, the Mauritius Telecom network on arrival, and a bill whose size you already know.
Plans run from $11.50 for 1 GB over 7 days up to $87.50 for 20 GB over 30 days. Two weeks of navigation, messaging and the occasional video call generally lands around 5 GB.
Where 5G has been rolled out you’ll get it; everywhere else the plan runs on 4G/LTE. Both are far more than maps and messaging need — the difference only shows on large downloads. Tethering is allowed on every Mauritius plan, so a laptop or a travelling companion can share the connection.
Crossing borders on the same trip? The Africa plan covers 39 destinations on one profile from $14.50. Otherwise there are separate plans for Gambia from $16, Ghana from $11.50 and Guinea-Bissau from $9.
How to install it
- 1
Buy in a minute
Pick a Mauritius plan and pay. Your QR code arrives by email in seconds — no account, no shipping.
- 2
Install on Wi-Fi
Scan the code before you fly. The profile sits alongside your normal SIM and stays switched off until you need it.
- 3
Land connected
Turn on data roaming for the TravelNet line when you arrive. The plan starts counting down on that first connection, not at checkout.
Will my phone work?
You need an eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked phone: an iPhone XS or newer, a Pixel 3 or
newer, or a recent Samsung Galaxy S, Z or A-series flagship. Dial *#06# — if
an EID number is listed alongside the IMEI, the phone has an eSIM.
Travelling beyond Mauritius?
One Africa plan covers 39 countries from $14.50 — worth it from the third border.
Mauritius eSIM questions
Which network does the Mauritius eSIM use?
Mauritius Telecom. It is one of Mauritius's main mobile networks, so coverage matches what local subscribers get rather than a thin roaming-only footprint.
Will I get 5G in Mauritius?
Yes, where Mauritius Telecom has deployed it and your phone supports it. Outside those areas the eSIM falls back to 4G/LTE automatically — you won't need to change any setting.
How much data do I actually need for Mauritius?
As a rough guide: navigation and messaging burn around 100–200 MB a day, social media roughly 500 MB an hour, and video calls about 1 GB an hour. A short trip fits inside the 3 GB plan ($23); a fortnight of heavier use is closer to 10 GB ($53).
When does my Mauritius plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Mauritius, not when you buy it. Install it at home a day or two before you fly — the 1 GB plan then gives you 7 days from arrival and the larger plans 30 days.
Can I use my Mauritius eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. Tethering is enabled on every Mauritius plan, so you can share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or someone travelling with you. Hotspot data comes out of the same allowance.
Can I keep my own phone number while I'm in Mauritius?
Yes. Nothing is removed from your phone. The Mauritius profile is added as a second line and set as the one used for data, while your usual number keeps receiving calls, texts and bank verification codes. Switch data roaming off on the home line before you fly.
Do I need to register or show a passport to use a Mauritius eSIM?
No. The plan roams on a partner network, so there's no local SIM registration, no ID upload and no shop visit. You buy it, scan the QR code, and it works on arrival.
What happens if I run out of data in Mauritius?
You can top up from the same page — buy another Mauritius plan and it queues behind the current one on the same eSIM profile. There's no need to reinstall anything or scan a second QR code.
I'm also visiting Gambia and Ghana — do I need separate eSIMs?
Not necessarily. The Africa plan covers 39 destinations including Mauritius on a single profile from $14.50. If Mauritius is the bulk of the trip, a country plan plus a top-up is usually cheaper; if you're crossing several borders, the regional plan wins.
Will my phone work with a Mauritius eSIM?
If it's an iPhone XS or newer, a Pixel 3 or newer, or a recent Samsung Galaxy S, Z or A-series flagship, almost certainly — and it must be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# and look for an EID number: if one is listed, the phone has an eSIM. Our compatibility list has the full set.
