English
An eSIM for Mauritius is a digital data plan for the phone you already own. There is no physical SIM card, no airport lines, and no passport needed. Your plan is ready on your SIMAREA account before you even leave home.
It works safely alongside your normal SIM. You keep your own number for calls and important text messages. Your data goes through the SIMAREA plan. Just turn off data roaming on your home SIM to avoid high bills.
Every plan here uses more than one partner network. Your phone joins one when you arrive and can switch to another if the signal weakens.
If you stay longer, top up your current plan with more data. You do not need to buy a new one.
What it is not: a local phone number. If you need a number for verification codes, see virtual numbers.
Mauritius eSIM on Emtel and my.t
Mobile data for a resort week or a month in Port Louis, on two local networks. The term on every plan begins with its first connection in Mauritius.
The unlimited plan is the day pass we feature for Mauritius: after its daily full-speed allowance it keeps you connected at a lower speed, and it is billed per day for the days you choose. Fixed plans are one price for the term shown. Nothing on this page is an estimate.
How to get mobile data in Mauritius
Set it up at home the night before. Your eSIM waits quietly until you arrive.
Pick eSIM plan
Choose how long you are there. The day pass is billed per day, so the term is yours to set.
Pay, then scan
Charged from your balance, which you top up with crypto. Your QR code is in your dashboard once the order is paid.
Turn it on when you arrive
Turn on data roaming for your SIMAREA plan when you arrive, and it joins a partner network.
What to know about an eSIM for Mauritius
The specifics that decide whether a travel eSIM is useful once you're actually there.
More than one network
Every plan here lists more than one partner network. If one gets weak, your phone can switch to another.
Set up before you go
No SIM card store, no passport check. Install it at home, then turn on data roaming for it when you arrive.
Hotspot sharing
Share your internet with a laptop or a friend, if your plan and phone allow it.
Keep your own number
The eSIM is just for internet. Your normal SIM still receives calls and important bank codes. You can use both at once.
Keep using the same eSIM
Staying longer? Top up the same plan with more data from your dashboard. No need for a new QR code.
If it does not work
Not installed or connected yet? Ask for a refund within 30 days of buying it. Installed but not working on any of its networks? Support helps, and refunds you if it cannot be fixed.
Mauritius eSIM: Emtel and my.t together
A Mauritius eSIM connects you through Emtel and my.t. The day pass and all seven fixed plans list both, so the plan you pick changes your data and term, not your networks. Speeds are 3G and 4G here; 5G isn't marked on any of them.
Whichever you buy, traffic exits in Singapore: sites see an address there rather than a Mauritian one.
Picking a term for your stay
The shortest plan runs 7 days with 1 GB. Two run 15 days, with 2 GB or 3 GB, and four run 30 days, with 3 GB, 5 GB, 10 GB, or 20 GB.
The day pass works another way: 1 GB at full speed each day, then 512 Kbps until the day resets. The fixed plans have no daily split, so their data lasts until it's used or the term ends.
Running low partway through? All eight top up on the same eSIM, with data only. Past 30 days, buy a second plan once the first has ended.
Mauritius with Reunion or Seychelles
Mauritius isn't named on a regional or global list. The Africa eSIM and Global 130 lists name Reunion and Seychelles but leave Mauritius out, so a trip across them takes at least two eSIMs:
- One more stop: this plan plus a Reunion or Seychelles plan.
- Both of them: this plan plus one Africa plan, whose list has Reunion and Seychelles together.
Phones that hold several eSIMs let you change which one carries data.
Questions about a Mauritius eSIM
Does the Africa eSIM work in Mauritius?
Mauritius isn't named on the Africa list or on Global 130. For Mauritius, pick one of the plans on this page.
Is the Mauritius day pass unlimited?
Each day starts with 1 GB at full speed. Beyond that you stay connected at 512 Kbps until the day resets.
Will I have a +230 Mauritius number?
No. The eSIM gives you data and nothing else: no calls, no SMS, no local number. Your home SIM stays on your own number. To receive SMS on a rented number, which is a separate product, start at virtual numbers.
When should I install it?
Before your trip is fine. A Mauritius plan's term starts only at its first connection there, and unused it stays valid for 180 days. Just remember that installing ends your refund option: refunds are on request, within 30 days of purchase, for an eSIM not yet installed or connected.
Can I share the data with a laptop?
Sharing works if your plan and phone allow it, and the laptop's usage counts against the Mauritius plan you bought.
