Traveller notes

Airport pickup
Mahé activates at the gate on Cable & Wireless or Airtel. The ferry and short flights to Praslin and La Digue keep signal over the water.
Hotspot and calls
Allowed on most plans. Resort Wi-Fi is usually fine, so a light plan covers a week; the eSIM is for the beaches and the boat days.
Where the network is weak
Mahé's east coast and Victoria are strong. The hiking trails in Morne Seychellois and the outer islands drop to 3G or nothing.
Local SIM alternative
A Cable & Wireless tourist SIM at the airport needs a passport and is only the better value for a stay over two weeks. For a week the eSIM is simpler.

Paying from India or Pakistan

Providers take Visa and Mastercard. Indian debit cards need international use enabled and carry a 2 to 3.5% forex markup; UPI and RuPay-only cards are not accepted. Pakistani cards need international transactions enabled at the bank, sit under the annual dollar limit, and carry a 3 to 4% markup; JazzCash and Easypaisa are not accepted. Apple Pay and Google Pay work where your card does.

Which network does Airalo use in Seychelles?

Where is mobile coverage weak in Seychelles?

How much data do I need for 7 days in Seychelles?

For normal use, maps, WhatsApp, social media and a few video calls, budget about 0.7 GB per day, so around 4.9 GB for 7 days. Heavy users who stream or hotspot should double that.

When should I install the eSIM?

Install it on Wi-Fi before you fly and keep it switched off until you land. Mahé activates at the gate on Cable & Wireless or Airtel. The ferry and short flights to Praslin and La Digue keep signal over the water.
