Your Mozambique eSIM in two questions
Which Mozambique eSIM plan do I need?
Your trip length and how much you use your phone decide the plan, so check how much data you need first.
- A three-day city break in Maputo: 2 GB for 15 days covers maps, messages and social media.
- A fortnight touring Tofo, Vilankulo and the Bazaruto Archipelago: 10 GB for 30 days gives room for music, social media and some video each day.
- A week in Pemba with lots of streaming: 20 GB for 30 days covers heavy use, including your hotspot.
- A long stay of 30 days, mostly maps and messages: 10 GB for 30 days.
Every plan can be topped up, and the longest plan lasts 30 days, so you can add more if your stay runs long.

Will my eSIM have signal in Mozambique?
Your eSIM joins Vodafone in Mozambique, on 4G. Your phone picks Vodafone by itself, so there is nothing to set up once you land.
Coverage is strongest in Maputo and the main coastal towns. Signal is patchy in rural areas and the interior, so download your maps before you head inland.
Your data reaches the internet through a United States address, which is a normal setup for travel eSIMs. Read how that works. WhatsApp is the messaging app to have ready, and it runs on your mobile data.
How much data do you need in Mozambique?
Light: maps, messages, email (about 0.25 GB a day). Standard: plus social, music, some video (about 0.7 GB a day). Heavy: plus streaming, video calls, hotspot (about 1.8 GB a day).

Using your phone in Mozambique: data tips
- Arriving: Install your eSIM at home on Wi-Fi, then switch it on when you land at Maputo (MPM), Vilankulo (VNX) or Pemba (POL). Make sure data roaming is on for the eSIM line before you head out.
- Network: Your eSIM runs on Vodafone's 4G network. There is no 5G here, so set your expectations for 4G.
- Staying in touch: WhatsApp is the messaging app to set up before you fly. Your home number stays on for calls and texts, so friends can still reach you the usual way. Read how to keep WhatsApp and your home number working together.
- Data: A light day of maps and messages uses about 0.25 GB, while a heavy day of streaming uses about 1.8 GB. Every plan can be topped up, so you can add more part-way through your trip. Pick a size to match your days.
