Before you land in Seychelles
In the Seychelles our plan uses Airtel's 4G network. Signal is good on the main islands but thinner on remote ones, so download offline maps before a drive or a day trip to the outer islands.

Questions
What is the best eSIM for Seychelles?
For most trips, 5 GB for 30 days is enough: $22.29 here, against $32.00 at Airalo for the same data (read 6 Nov 2026). It is data only and needs no app: the QR code and a one-tap install link arrive by email. Every brand's price for Seychelles, dated and sourced, is on our comparison page.
Which Seychelles eSIM for a month?
Every one of these lasts 30 days: 3 GB $14.39, 5 GB $22.29, 10 GB $38.90, 20 GB $76.29. The 30 days start when the eSIM first connects to a network there, so you can buy before the trip.
Can I buy a Seychelles eSIM without an app?
Yes. You pay on this page and the QR code and a one-tap install link arrive by email: no app and no account. It is data only, with no phone number, so your home SIM keeps your calls and SMS.
Does the Seychelles eSIM come with a phone number?
No. It is data only: no local number, calls or SMS on this eSIM. Your home SIM stays in the phone for calls and texts (your carrier's roaming rates apply to them), and WhatsApp, FaceTime or Signal calls run over the eSIM's data. If you need a local number in Seychelles, for example for a service that texts a code, buy a local SIM there.
Which Seychelles eSIM for a week or two?
For 7 days: 1 GB $4.90. The 30-day packs cover one or two weeks too: 3 GB $14.39, 5 GB $22.29.
Will WhatsApp keep my number with a Seychelles eSIM?
Yes. WhatsApp stays on your home number: this eSIM is data only and has no number. Leave your home SIM in the phone with its data roaming off, use the Seychelles eSIM for mobile data, and do not re-register WhatsApp.
