Skip home-carrier data roaming, contracts, ID checks and airport kiosk queues. You need only an eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked phone, with no physical SIM to collect or swap before your trip.
Keep your own number while the eSIM handles data. Your usual SIM stays in your phone for calls, SMS and bank verification codes, and WhatsApp keeps your existing number.
Choose a short plan for a Mahé beach break or Victoria stopover. Longer plans suit island-hopping trips that take you onwards to Praslin and La Digue at a slower pace.
Get your profile ready before departure so you can connect on arrival. Aim to get online before passport control, without spending your first moments hunting for airport Wi-Fi.
What it is not: a phone number. For a local number to receive sign-up codes or bookings, add a virtual number next to the data plan.
How it works
Land in Seychelles already online
Set it up on Wi-Fi the night before. The eSIM waits quietly until you arrive.
2
Pay and scan the QR code
Pay from your balance and get the QR code at once.
3
Turn it on when you land
Turn on data roaming and it finds a network itself.

FAQ
Using an eSIM in Seychelles: your questions
Your phone must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# to look for an EID, which identifies your phone’s eSIM hardware.
Yes, you keep your usual SIM and number while the eSIM supplies data. WhatsApp can keep using your existing number during your Seychelles trip.
Use your usual SIM for bank codes, not this data-only eSIM. Receiving those messages abroad depends on your home carrier and the sender.
Hotspot sharing uses your phone’s mobile data connection to get other equipment online. Any data shared this way counts towards your Seychelles plan’s allowance.
Your fixed bundle gives you a set amount of data, not a daily allowance. Choose enough for your Seychelles trip, including any data you expect to share.
You can buy another plan from your prepaid account balance. Its validity starts on first connection, so buying it does not immediately start its days.
Select the eSIM for mobile data and turn on data roaming for it. Restart your phone if it still will not connect in Seychelles.
