The nitty gritty
Mayotte eSIM FAQs
These eSIMs don’t include voice minutes - data only. For any calling or texting, you’ll need to rely on VoIP or messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Viber, or Messenger.
Absolutely! You can install your Mayotte travel eSIM up to 30 days before departure. Installing early means it will automatically activate once you land.
Rest assured, installing before you leave won’t start your data or count down your plan days until you arrive in Mayotte.
If you see an activation error on iPhone when installing before arriving, you can ignore it-learn more in our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide.
No, the Mayotte eSIM is data-only and excludes voice/SMS numbers. You’ll have to rely on data-based messaging platforms like WhatsApp or Messenger for calling.
Your eSIM will activate automatically when you arrive in Mayotte. Though we recommend installing your Mayotte Travel eSIM before you arrive (this is different to activating).
To do this, scan the QR code we provide or install the eSIM directly from the ZenSim app while connected to WiFi. Once you arrive in Mayotte, your eSIM will activate automatically.
If you encounter any issues check out our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or contact us directly ☺️
The eSIM activates when you touch down in Mayotte - if you’ve already installed it, it should connect automatically.
Installing while already in Mayotte works too; it will start as soon as you complete setup.
If you experience connection issues, check our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or reach out to our support team.
Absolutely - using a travel eSIM beats roaming in Mayotte for several reasons:
Cost Efficiency: Our Mayotte local data rates are much cheaper than pay-as-you-go roaming fees.
Instant Activation: No need to wait for a SIM card; your eSIM goes live as soon as you land.
Data Visibility: Monitor exactly how much you’ve consumed, so there are no hidden surprises on your bill.
No - the plan’s data and days only start when you arrive in Mayotte. Installation beforehand simply sets it up for activation on landing.
We recommend installing before departure since you will need WiFi to complete the installation process and this way you will be connected as soon as you land.
If you need help connecting, check our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or reach out to us.
Absolutely! ZenSim’s eSIMs work in over 200 countries, and Mayotte is one of them. We also have regional eSIMs that cover several nations on a single plan - check out our Travel eSIMs page for details.

Yes it can. Nearly all ZenSim eSIMs support top ups inside the app. You can boost your data, add extra days, or attach a new country to the same eSIM from the Zen Garden in only a few steps.
Just log into the app, open the Zen Garden, and you’ll find the top up control ready to use.
Top up choices: The Mayotte top ups match the plans on our website, just with an extra 10% off.
If you're travelling longer than 30 days: You can purchase multiple top ups in advance. They only activate once the current plan finishes, so nothing overwrites your existing eSIM.
If your trip includes several destinations: Many of our eSIMs support multi country top ups. For example, you can add Dubai to a Europe eSIM and it will activate the moment you arrive without reinstalling anything.
After activation in Mayotte, your eSIM won’t usually work elsewhere. Each country typically needs its own eSIM unless you're using a regional one.
To make travel easier, try one of our regional Travel eSIMs - they work across entire continents.
You bet there is! Once you purchase an Mayotte eSIM you will be able to access your unique referral URL which you can share with your travel buds.
If they click the URL and purchase a plan they will save A$5 on their order and you will receive a A$5 voucher on your account which will be automatically applied on your next purchase (provided they are a new customer of course).
You can track your referrals and access your referral URL in the ZenSim app. Check out our terms for more info.
Our Mayotte unlimited plans include a 3GB daily allowance, which is more than enough for most people - average daily usage tends to sit under 1GB.
If you happen to use more than that in a day, your speed gets limited to 1Mbps until midnight, at which point your full-speed allowance kicks back in.
This only applies to unlimited plans - if you've chosen a fixed-data plan like 10GB or 20GB, there's no daily throttling at all, just use it freely until it runs out. We'll let you know before that happens, and you can top up in seconds via the ZenSim app.
Your plan won't start using data or counting down days until you actually arrive in Mayotte - so there's zero risk in installing it early.
As long as you've already installed your eSIM, it'll automatically activate the moment you land, and that's when your days and data officially kick off.
From there, your eSIM expires when either your data or your days run out, whichever comes first (unless you're on an unlimited plan, in which case it's purely down to the days). So if you grab a 30-day plan, it'll run out 30 days after you arrive in Mayotte, not 30 days from when you bought it.
Definitely - our eSIM compatibility checker is built exactly for this. Punch in your phone details and you'll get an instant answer on whether it works with our Mayotte eSIM and networks.
Want a second opinion, or something seems off? Message us and we'll help you out. And even if you do end up buying and it turns out your phone can't use it, our refund policy means a full refund - so there's genuinely no downside to trying.
You're covered - our 100% money back guarantee exists for exactly this situation.
Trip cancelled? Phone not eSIM-compatible? Plans changed and you just don't need it anymore? All of these are covered.
The full details sit in our refund policy, but in short: if you can't install or use the eSIM, we'll give you a full refund. You shouldn't have to pay for something you can't use.

Top 3 things to do in Mayotte
Snorkel or Dive in the Mayotte Lagoon
Mayotte boasts one of the largest and most beautiful coral lagoons in the world, making it a paradise for snorkelling and diving. The turquoise waters are home to vibrant coral reefs, sea turtles, manta rays, and an abundance of colourful marine life. Popular snorkelling and diving spots include Passe en S, Boueni Lagoon, and the reefs near N'Gouja Beach. Whether you're a seasoned diver or a first-time snorkeller, the calm, warm waters of Mayotte’s lagoon offer an unforgettable underwater experience.
Spot Whales and Dolphins in the Indian Ocean
From July to October, Mayotte becomes a prime destination for whale watching, as humpback whales migrate to the island’s warm waters to breed and nurse their young. Boat tours offer visitors the chance to see these majestic creatures breaching, tail-slapping, and swimming alongside their calves. Year-round, you can also encounter dolphins, which are frequently spotted in the protected lagoon. A day on the water, surrounded by some of the ocean’s most fascinating marine life, is an absolute must in Mayotte.
Hike to the Summit of Mount Choungui
For those who love adventure, a hike up Mount Choungui, Mayotte’s second-highest peak, offers some of the most spectacular panoramic views on the island. The moderate-to-difficult trail winds through lush tropical vegetation, eventually opening up to a breathtaking 360° view of the surrounding lagoon and coastline. The hike takes about 1.5 to 2 hours, and reaching the summit at sunrise or sunset is an unforgettable experience. Whether you're an avid hiker or just looking for an incredible viewpoint, Mount Choungui is worth the climb.
