Mayotte travel data eSIM
What is a Mayotte eSIM?
Travelling to Mayotte, an overseas department of France in the western Indian Ocean, requires staying connected without local SIM hassles. Our eSIM provides data-only access upon arrival at Dzaoudzi–Pamandzi International Airport. Install it at home via QR code before flying. The validity period begins only when your phone first connects to a local network in Mayotte, ensuring you do not lose days while in transit or at home.
Your data plan connects to Orange 5G networks within Mayotte. Depending on your specific location on Grande-Terre or Petite-Terre, your phone links to available Orange infrastructure. This setup supports standard data tasks like navigation and communication apps. Since coverage depends on the operator’s physical presence where you stand, actual experience varies by exact spot on the island.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operator does the Mayotte eSIM use?
It connects to Orange 5G networks. For a traveller, this means using the primary infrastructure provider in this French overseas department. Your phone will link to Orange towers wherever they are physically present in Mayotte.
Does this eSIM work in Madagascar?
No, this is a single-country plan valid only in Mayotte. It does not function in neighbouring Madagascar or Mozambique. For multi-country trips, look for regional plans that explicitly list those destinations.
Which plan size suits Mamoudzou and Dzaoudzi?
For a short stay in Mamoudzou and Dzaoudzi, the 3GB or 5GB plans are often sufficient as a rough guide. Heavier users relying on constant map navigation or video calls might prefer the 10GB option.
Will I lose my own phone number?
No. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls and WhatsApp. The eSIM only carries data, so both work side by side.
When does my plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy it. So you can install it days before you fly without losing any time.
Is my phone compatible?
Most phones from 2018 onwards are: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, you have eSIM. Full list on our Device Compatibility page.
How fast will I get my QR code?
Usually within a couple of minutes of payment, by email. If it has not arrived, check spam first, then write to us and we will resend it immediately.
Can I use hotspot or tethering?
Yes, on every plan we sell. Share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or the rest of your group.
What if I change my mind?
If you have not installed the eSIM, you get a full refund within 180 days. Once a profile is activated and data has been used it cannot be refunded — the allowance is consumed from the network. Full detail in our Refund Policy.
Do you sell plans for groups?
Yes. For Umrah and Hajj groups, student trips and tour operators we deliver the QR codes as a single batch before departure, at group rates. Email us with your group size and destination.
