Your Mauritius eSIM in two questions
Which Mauritius eSIM plan do I need?

- A three-day city break in Port Louis: standard use, with social media, music and some video, fits 2 GB for 15 days.
- A fortnight touring the island: two weeks of standard use, from Grand Baie to Le Morne, suits 10 GB for 30 days.
- A week-long business trip: seven days of standard use, with WhatsApp for clients and maps between meetings, suits 5 GB for 30 days.
- Another country on the same trip: the Africa eSIM for 21 countries covers Mauritius too, so one eSIM can do both.
Most plans can be topped up if your trip runs longer than planned.

Will my eSIM have signal in Mauritius?

- Getting around: From Port Louis and Grand Baie to Flic en Flac, Le Morne and Mahébourg, your maps run on mobile data. Check your route while you're still on Wi-Fi, then let the directions guide you.
- Staying in touch: Have WhatsApp ready for messages, and keep your home number on for calls and texts. Keep WhatsApp and your home number explains the set-up.
- Good to know: Your eSIM connects through Emtel or my.t, and most plans can be topped up if your trip runs long. Start with the data your days need, then add more later.
