Mauritius eSIM guide: travel eSIMs, tourist SIMs and Réunion

This page gathers everything eSIM Check has published about staying connected in Mauritius: our price survey of ten options, from global travel eSIMs to the tourist packs of the three Mauritian operators, the documents and airport counters for a local SIM, and how to combine Mauritius with Réunion, which is part of the European Union. Every figure is dated, and every article links to its sources.

Key facts

Mauritius has three mobile operators: my.t (Mauritius Telecom, branded Orange from 2008 to 2017), Emtel and CHiLi (Mahanagar Telephone Mauritius Ltd). Airalo and Nomad name Emtel as their network; Holafly names my.t.
On 16 October 2026, my.t and Emtel each sold a 30-day tourist SIM or eSIM at €30 with unlimited 5G data, Rs 200 of airtime and unlimited local SMS, bookable online and sold at SSR International Airport.
For a fixed amount of data, travel eSIMs can cost less: Yesim sold 10 GB for 30 days at €24.00 and Nomad 20 GB for 30 days at €34.80.
The regulator ICTA launched its KaliteNet quality platform with nPerf on 11 May 2026 and says it will publish yearly quality reports from January 2027; we found no current independent operator comparison.
Réunion is one of the EU's outermost regions, so EU mobile plans roam there at home prices; Mauritius is outside the EU.
