Mauritius is a volcanic island in the Indian Ocean, 2,000km east of Madagascar — a picture-perfect blend of turquoise lagoons, coral reefs, lush mountain interiors, and a multicultural French-Indian-African heritage. The island is home to the underwater waterfall illusion off Le Morne, the seven-coloured earths of Chamarel, and some of the Indian Ocean's finest luxury resorts.

Questions about Mauritius
Does Flysimio work throughout Mauritius?
Yes. MyT (Mauritius Telecom) and Emtel provide excellent 4G LTE coverage across the main island including all major beach areas, Port Louis, and the Black River Gorges. 5G is available in Port Louis and Ebene.
What is the underwater waterfall in Mauritius?
The "underwater waterfall" off Le Morne Peninsula is an optical illusion created by sand and silt flowing down a submarine slope from the reef shelf into the deeper ocean. It's best viewed from a helicopter or light aircraft — not an actual waterfall, but visually stunning.
What are the seven-coloured earths of Chamarel?
The Chamarel Coloured Earths are sand dunes of volcanic soil in seven different colours — red, brown, violet, green, blue, purple, and yellow. The colours come from different mineral compositions formed as the lava cooled at different rates. A natural curiosity in the southwest interior.
Is Mauritius an expensive destination?
The luxury resort tier is very expensive (€300–€1,000+/night). However, guesthouses, local restaurants (dholl puri stalls, Chinese restaurants), and public beaches are very affordable. Mauritius suits both budget backpackers and luxury honeymoon couples.
What language is spoken in Mauritius?
Mauritian Creole is the everyday language. French is used in media and business. English is official and widely understood. The multicultural mix (Indian, French, African, Chinese heritage) makes Mauritian culture uniquely layered.
What is an eSIM?
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM built into your phone. Instead of a physical card, you scan a QR code and your plan installs instantly — no SIM tray needed.
Is my phone eSIM-compatible?
iPhone XS (2018) and newer, most Android flagships from 2020+, and all Samsung Galaxy S21+ devices support eSIM. Check our compatibility page for the full device list.
How do I install the eSIM?
After purchase, we email a QR code. On iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → Scan QR Code. On Android: Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM. The whole process takes under 60 seconds.
Can I keep my regular SIM while using this eSIM?
Yes. Most phones support dual SIM (physical + eSIM). Keep your home number for calls and SMS — use Flysimio for data abroad. You control which SIM handles what in your phone Settings.
Does the eSIM include a hotspot (tethering)?
Yes, all Flysimio plans include mobile hotspot at no extra charge. Share your data connection with laptops, tablets, or other devices freely.
What happens when my data runs out?
You can top up data from your account dashboard at any time. Top-ups are applied instantly — no need to buy a new eSIM or wait.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. We offer a full refund within 14 days of purchase. Contact contact@flysimio.com with your order number.
How long is the eSIM valid for?
You have 6 months from your purchase date to activate the eSIM. Once activated, the plan validity period (e.g., 7 days, 30 days) begins counting down.
Will the eSIM work at the airport when I land?
Yes — as long as you installed the eSIM before your flight, it activates automatically when your phone connects to a local network on landing. No Wi-Fi required for activation.
What if the QR code doesn't scan?
If the QR code won't scan, you can enter the activation code manually — we include both in the email. You can also contact our 24/7 support team and we'll resend or manually provision your eSIM.
