Mozambique travel data guide
A Mozambique eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Mozambique that you install before you fly. Plans in Mozambique run on Vodafone, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 7 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 20 GB, validity from 7 to 30 days, and prices start at $9.99. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on some of the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Mozambique, not when you buy, so you can install it at home days early. For a week of maps, messaging and social apps, most travellers are fine with 3 to 5 GB. Video calls or streaming need more. Travel data in Mozambique from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Mozambique FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Mozambique?
It connects wherever Vodafone has signal, which is the same network local customers use. The eSIM is data only.
When do my days start?
On the first connection in Mozambique, not at purchase. The plan selected above (3 GB) runs for 15 days from that moment. You can install the eSIM at home and the clock stays still until you connect.
Do I get a local phone number in Mozambique?
No. The eSIM is data only. Your own SIM stays in for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working over the eSIM data.
Can I share data with my laptop?
Yes. Hotspot sharing is supported on the plan selected above, so your laptop or tablet can use the eSIM data through your phone.
Is there an unlimited data plan for Mozambique?
No, Mozambique only has fixed data plans, from 1 GB up to 20 GB. In place of unlimited, every plan supports top up, so you can add data during the trip if the first amount runs out.
Which network does the Mozambique eSIM use?
The Mozambique eSIM uses Vodafone, which is listed as 4G on our plans. All plans are labelled 3G/4G. There is no network to choose, the phone connects on its own.
I am only in Mozambique for two days. Which plan do I buy?
The shortest Mozambique plan is 1 GB valid for 7 days, so that is the one for a two day visit. Nothing shorter is sold here, and the remaining days go unused.
When do the days on a Mozambique plan start?
They start when the eSIM first connects to a network in Mozambique. You can buy and install the plan before your trip without using any of its validity.
Does my phone need to be unlocked?
Yes. A Mozambique eSIM only works on a phone that supports eSIM and is carrier unlocked. If you bought the phone through a carrier on contract, ask them whether it is locked before you buy the plan.
What happens when my data runs out in Mozambique?
The plan stops carrying data until you add more. All Mozambique plans support top up, so you can buy extra data for the same eSIM. Do it over WiFi if the allowance is already empty.
Can I share my Mozambique data with another phone?
Yes, hotspot is allowed on every Mozambique plan. Both phones use the same allowance, so pick a larger plan or be ready to top up partway through the trip.
How do I top up if I run low?
Open My eSIMs, pick this eSIM and choose a top up. It goes onto the same eSIM, so there is no new QR code to scan.
