Before you fly to the Seychelles, equip yourself with a travel eSIM to ensure you have mobile data the moment you land at Seychelles International Airport, without incurring roaming bills.
Built for short trips and long stays alike — if you fall into any of these, you're sorted.
Airtel has extensive coverage on the main islands of Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue, while Cable & Wireless is known for reliable service in urban areas like Victoria. Both struggle in remote or heavily forested areas.
A rough guide to pick the right plan — your real usage depends on how much you stream and share.
Maps, messaging, email and the occasional search. Enough to stay oriented and in touch.
Social feeds, browsing, music and some video. The sweet spot for most travelers.
Video calls, lots of streaming and tethering your laptop or sharing a hotspot.
