Does my phone support eSIM?
On an iPhone, open Settings → Mobile Service (on some iPhones: Mobile Data): if there is an Add eSIM option, the phone has an eSIM. On Android, look for an option to add an eSIM in the SIM settings (Samsung: SIM manager → Add eSIM, in Samsung’s January 2025 guide SIM card manager → Add mobile plan; Pixel: Add SIM). Can’t find it? Look up your model in the list of eSIM-compatible phones.

A week in Mauritius: your UK network vs eSIM
A roaming pass is cheaper
5.6GB for 7 days (0.8GB a day, social media and photos) on pay monthly: what it costs on each UK network, next to the eSIM. “Included” means the network’s plans already cover Mauritius within a fair use limit.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a day of mobile data cost in Mauritius?
On plans with a fixed data allowance, £0.43 to £1.17 a day in Mauritius: 3 GB for 30 days at £12.99 is the lowest daily price, 10 GB for 30 days the highest. The plan that costs least for the whole trip: for 7 days, 1 GB at £1.00 a day; for 15 days, 2 GB at £0.67 a day; for 30 days, 3 GB at £0.43 a day. Unused days are not refunded.
Which network does the eSIM use in Mauritius?
Only Emtel (4G): it is the single partner network for Mauritius in the catalogue. Where Emtel has no coverage, this eSIM has no signal either, so on a remote route check that Emtel covers it.
What if the eSIM doesn't work when you land in Mauritius?
Check, in this order: data roaming is on for the eSIM line, the eSIM is chosen as the line for mobile data, and aeroplane mode is off. Then the APN: on this plan it is entered by hand on Android, e-ideas. Give the phone a few minutes to register on Emtel; that first registration is what starts the plan’s days. Still no connection? See what to check when the eSIM has no signal abroad.
General questions have their own pages: how card payment works, refund policy, how to install an eSIM and help and FAQ.
