Which network does the Seychelles eSIM use?

It connects to Airtel’s 4G network in Seychelles.

Does the Seychelles eSIM include calls and texts?

No. These plans provide mobile data only, so calls and messages need to use internet-based services.

Can I top up the Seychelles eSIM?

Yes, top-ups are supported if you need additional data during your trip.

What data amounts and durations are available?

You can choose 1GB, 3GB, 5GB, 10GB, 20GB or unlimited data, with durations of 1, 3, 5, 7, 15 or 30 days.

Seychelles: is an eSIM better than a local SIM?

For most travellers, yes. A local SIM in Seychelles means finding a shop once you have landed, usually with ID in hand, and it leaves you on a single carrier. An eSimHero eSIM installs before you travel, works the moment you arrive, connects across the networks we carry there, and leaves your usual number active on the same phone.

About eSIMs in Seychelles

A Seychelles eSIM gives you mobile data for your trip, with plans available for short visits and stays of up to 30 days. Choose from fixed data allowances or an unlimited option, depending on how you expect to use your phone.

Coverage & networks

How much data you need

Plans include 1GB, 3GB, 5GB, 10GB and 20GB, as well as an unlimited data option. For lighter use such as messaging, maps and occasional browsing, a smaller allowance may be suitable. Regular streaming, frequent video calls or hotspot use may require 10GB, 20GB or unlimited data. Available plan durations are 1, 3, 5, 7, 15 and 30 days.

Setting it up
