Which Mauritius eSIM plan to buy, by length of stay
Mauritius is one island, one main network and, for most visitors, one resort, so the decision is not whether an eSIM will work but how much data to buy. The eSIM4 Mauritius eSIM runs on the Emtel network over 4G LTE and there are six plans, from USD 7.98. Here is how they map onto a typical stay.
Seven nights at a resort. Messages home, the odd map search, photos to the family group: 1 GB over 7 days, USD 7.98, is enough for almost everyone who has resort Wi-Fi in the room. Ten days to two weeks, moving about. Grand Baie one week, Le Morne the next, day trips to Chamarel and Port Louis with the maps running: 2 GB over 15 days (USD 13.98) or, if the dates might stretch, 3 GB over 30 days (USD 16.98). A month, or working from the villa. Video calls every evening and work email through the day: 5 GB or 10 GB over 30 days, USD 26.98 and 47.98. Ten days without counting. The unlimited plan, USD 42.98, for the trip where the phone is the camera, the guidebook and the evening entertainment. Whichever you choose, a top-up is a minute online and lands on the same eSIM.
Coverage, briefly. The island is about 65 km top to bottom and the network reaches all of it that a visitor goes to: Port Louis, Grand Baie, Flic en Flac, Le Morne, Belle Mare, Mahebourg and the airport, plus the roads between. No coverage caveats to plan around.
Before you fly. The eSIM is emailed within minutes, installs with a QR code, needs no ID check, and stays dormant until it first connects in Mauritius; that first connection is what starts the days, so installing it early costs nothing.
Seychelles, Madagascar or the mainland as well? The Africa eSIM covers Mauritius, the Seychelles, Madagascar, South Africa, Kenya and 31 other African countries on one plan from USD 4.98 for 1 GB over 7 days. In Mauritius it connects to Cellplus rather than Emtel, which is the one reason to prefer the Mauritius plan above if Mauritius is the whole trip; for island-hopping or a mainland leg, the Africa plan saves buying twice.
Pick the plan that matches your dates, pay in USD by card, and the QR code is in your inbox before you have closed the suitcase.
