Which mobile networks does Seychelles have?
Coverage is good on the main islands of Mahe, Praslin and La Digue, but it gets spotty, sometimes even on 2G, once you head to the outer islands.
- Airtel: Airtel is the market leader with about 55% of customers and the best geographic coverage, including Mahe, Praslin, La Digue, Silhouette and Cerf Island.
- Cable & Wireless: Cable & Wireless Seychelles is the incumbent that also runs the islands' landlines and the submarine cable to Africa, and it offers solid signal in more secluded spots at often lower rates.
The Seychelles is a two operator market with no MVNOs, so travel eSIMs ride on Airtel or Cable & Wireless.
The eSIM plans we compare on this page connect to:
Is 5G available in Seychelles?
Cable & Wireless has run 5G since June 2020 in parts of Mahe including Victoria, with speeds up to about 150 Mbps, though it has mainly been aimed at postpaid customers.
How much data do you need in Seychelles?
Light use is about 500 MB a day. That covers maps, messages, and some browsing. Normal use with photos, social apps, and short videos runs 1 to 1.5 GB a day. Streaming and hotspot use can eat 2 to 3 GB a day. Here is what each size costs in Seychelles right now:
eSIM or a local SIM at the airport in Seychelles?
An eSIM is ready before you land. No queue, no shop, no handing over your passport at a counter. Data for Seychelles starts at $13.44 on this page, which is hard for airport kiosks to beat. A local SIM still makes sense if you need a local phone number or plan to stay for months. For a normal trip, the eSIM wins on price and effort.
Setting up your Seychelles eSIM
Buy your planYou get a QR code by email within minutes of paying.
Install before you flyScan the QR code on wifi at home. Airport and hotel wifi can be weak.
Turn it on when you landEnable the eSIM and turn on data roaming for it, then give it a minute to find the network.
Check the validity clockSome plans start counting at purchase, not at first use. Check before you buy.
Good to know before you land in Seychelles
Prepaid registration has been required since 2009, so have your passport ready when you buy.
Both Airtel and Cable & Wireless have kiosks in the arrivals area at Seychelles International Airport on Mahe. Airtel sells a tourist plan of around 20 euros with 5 GB and local minutes for 30 days, and Cable & Wireless offers tourist packs from 1 GB up to 100 GB.
Many hotels and resorts charge extra for WiFi, so a local SIM or eSIM often pays for itself quickly. On island hopping trips beyond the big three islands, plan for weak or no data.
Seychelles Travel eSIM FAQ
Everything you need to know about using an eSIM in Seychelles
What is the cheapest eSIM for Seychelles?
Right now the cheapest option ranked by price per GB is MegaEsim with 3 GB for 15 Days at $13.44. That works out to $4.48 per GB. Prices change often, so the table above always shows the current order.
Which networks will my eSIM connect to in Seychelles?
The plans we compare connect to Airtel. The exact network depends on the plan you pick. Check the plan details before you buy if one network matters to you.
Do Seychelles eSIMs support 5G?
The networks our plans use in Seychelles currently run on 4G. That is enough for maps, messaging, video calls, and streaming in most cases.
Can I top up my Seychelles eSIM if I run out?
Yes. 13 of the 13 plans here support top ups, so you can add data without buying a new eSIM. The rest need a fresh plan once the data ends.
Will I still receive bank SMS and OTP codes?
Yes, if you keep your home SIM active. Travel eSIMs are data only. Your phone can hold both at once, so leave your normal SIM on for SMS and use the eSIM for data. Turn off roaming data on the home SIM to avoid charges.
Do these eSIMs include a phone number or calls?
The plans we compare are data only, so there is no local number. Calls work fine over WhatsApp, FaceTime, or any app that uses data. If you need a real local number, a local SIM is the better tool.
How many GB do I need for a week in Seychelles?
Around 3 to 5 GB covers a week of maps, messaging, and normal browsing. Heavy video or hotspot use needs 1 to 2 GB per day. Today the cheapest plan with at least 5 GB is MegaEsim at $22.40.
