Share with your laptop
Hotspot is allowed on the plan selected above, so a second device can use the same data in a cafe or a hotel room.

Seychelles travel data guide
A Seychelles eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Seychelles that you install before you fly. Plans in Seychelles run on Airtel, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 19 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 10 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $7.99. Unlimited plans are listed too, each with its own fair use line. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on some of the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Visiting more than one country? The Africa eSIM covers Seychelles and 20 other countries on one plan, from $8.99. The Global eSIM covers Seychelles and 126 other countries on one plan, from $18.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Seychelles, 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, or an unlimited plan. Travel data in Seychelles from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Seychelles FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Seychelles?
It connects wherever Airtel 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 Seychelles, not at purchase. The plan selected above (2 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 Seychelles?
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.
Which network does the Seychelles eSIM use?
The Seychelles eSIM uses Airtel, listed as 4G in our catalogue. It is the only operator on these plans. Plan labels show 3G/4G or 4G/5G, and we suggest expecting 4G.
Do I need a different eSIM for each island in Seychelles?
No, one Seychelles plan is for the whole country, so you keep the same eSIM as you move between islands. We cannot promise the signal strength on each one, so download ferry tickets and maps while you are on WiFi.
Can I combine Seychelles and Mauritius on one eSIM?
Yes, the Africa plan covers both Seychelles and Mauritius. It is a good fit for a two island holiday. Note that the Africa plan cannot be topped up and its unlimited plans last 7 days at most.
When does my Seychelles plan start?
Your plan starts when the eSIM first connects to a network in Seychelles. It does not start when you pay or when you install. You can set it up at home over WiFi and arrive with all your days intact.
Can I install the eSIM on the plane or at the airport?
Only if you have a working internet connection there, because the install needs one. It is much easier to do it at home before the trip. Then you just switch the eSIM line on when you land in Seychelles.
Can my partner use my data in Seychelles?
Yes, hotspot is allowed on all Seychelles plans, so a partner's phone can connect to yours. On an unlimited plan you both draw on the same daily 1 GB or 3 GB of full speed data.
What happens after I use the daily amount on an unlimited plan?
The plan keeps working at a lower speed of up to 1 Mbps. Messages and maps are fine at that speed, but video is not. Full speed comes back the next day and nothing has to be reset.
How do I top up if I run low?
The plan selected above does not offer top ups. Buy a new plan from this page instead and install it as a second eSIM.
