Travelling to Seychelles and need an eSIM

What is an eSIM for Seychelles

An eSIM represents a digital SIM technology that enables you to use mobile data connectivity to your device without the hassle of inserting a physical SIM card. An eSIM for Seychelles is a go-to for tourists today who want a quick, easy way to set up and manage their plans.

On our platform, you can easily compare plans side by side (data amount, validity period, and price). Plan terms come from the provider, and you’ll be redirected to the provider website once you click Get eSIM.

How Does an eSIM Work​

An eSIM, short for embedded SIM, is the digital version of a standard physical SIM card. Rather than slotting in a removable chip, the eSIM is built into your device at the factory (smartphone, tablet, smartwatch). When you purchase a mobile plan, your carrier transmits a digital profile to your device, which downloads and securely activates the eSIM. This provides immediate network access. You can keep multiple eSIM profiles stored on one device and switch between them digitally, making it very convenient for travelers and for people managing separate work and personal numbers without swapping physical cards.

For iPhone Users

  • Check iOS Version: eSIM compatibility started with iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR models in 2018. If you have a newer model, it likely supports eSIM.
  • Settings Check: Go to Settings > General > About.
  • Carrier Lock: If your device is unlocked, it will show “No SIM restrictions.”
  • Available SIM (iOS 15 or later) or Digital SIM (earlier iOS): If your phone supports eSIM, it will display a 15-digit IMEI number.

For Android Users

  • Manufacturer or Carrier Check: Compatibility can vary by model, manufacturer, and carrier. Consult the manufacturer, reseller, or network provider for your specific model.
  • Google Pixel Check: Go to Settings > Network & Internet > eSIM Cards. If “Download a SIM instead?” is available, your device supports eSIM.
  • General Android Check: Dial *#06#. If you see an EID number along with the IMEI, your device supports eSIM. If there’s no EID, it doesn’t.

eSIM support depends on local carriers in Seychelles and whether they offer eSIM for tourists/prepaid.

The easiest option is usually a travel eSIM provider that connects to local partner networks (no direct carrier signup needed).

If you want a carrier eSIM specifically:

  • Check the main local carriers in Seychelles
  • Confirm eSIM availability, prepaid/tourist support, and activation requirements (ID, in-store visit, etc.)

You’ll likely need an eSIM for Seychelles if you want:

  • Mobile data on arrival (no local SIM hunting)
  • Cheaper data than roaming with your home SIM
  • Instant setup (digital delivery + quick installation)

You may not need it if:

  • You’ll mostly use hotel/home Wi-Fi
  • Your current SIM has affordable roaming in Seychelles
  • You plan to buy a local physical SIM in Seychelles instead

Best option if you want reliable connectivity: get a Seychelles local or regional eSIM plan before you travel.

eSIMs don’t “take” your number; they act as a separate line. You can use Dual SIM mode to keep your home number active for calls/texts while using the eSIM strictly for cheaper travel data. To avoid fees, enable WiFi Calling and disable data roaming on your primary SIM before leaving. Some travel eSIMs offer local numbers, but most are data-only for apps like WhatsApp.

Yes, many modern smartphones support dual SIM functionality, allowing you to use a physical SIM and an eSIM at the same time, with only two SIMs active at once. iPhone 13 and newer models can run two eSIMs simultaneously, while older models support one physical SIM plus one eSIM. You can manage which SIM is used for calls, messages, and data directly in your phone’s settings.
