Mobile internet in Seychelles

An eSIM for Seychelles lets you sort your mobile internet before you even leave home. You can choose from 21 data bundles from €13.99, with sizes ranging from 1 GB to 20 GB. Need a lot of data? Unlimited bundles are available too.

In Seychelles your eSIM connects to local networks such as Telecom Seychelles Ltd, with fast 4G where available.

How much data you need depends mostly on what you do while travelling. For navigation, WhatsApp and the occasional scroll through social media, 1 to 3 GB is usually plenty for a short trip. The smallest bundle for Seychelles starts at 1 GB, so you never pay for more than you need. If you stream a lot of video or share photos every day, pick a larger bundle or an unlimited option.
