Questions about Mayotte
Does Flysimio work in Mayotte?
Yes. SFR and Orange provide 4G LTE across the main islands. The lagoon, mangrove creeks, and remote beaches have limited or no signal. Download offline nautical maps for snorkelling and lagoon excursions.
What makes Mayotte's lagoon special?
Mayotte's lagoon is one of the world's largest — 1,500 km² enclosed by a double barrier reef (a rare formation). The lagoon's sheltered waters host humpback whale mothers and calves (June–September), manta rays, dugongs, and some of the Indian Ocean's richest coral.
Is Mayotte French?
Yes. Mayotte is a full French overseas department (since 2011), making it an EU territory and part of the Eurozone. It remained French when the rest of the Comoros became independent in 1975, following a referendum. Its French status is disputed by the Comoros government.
What currency does Mayotte use?
The Euro. As a French overseas department and full EU member territory, Mayotte uses the same euro as mainland France.
How do I get to Mayotte?
Dzaoudzi-Pamandzi International Airport is small and primarily receives flights from Réunion and mainland France (Air Austral, French Bee). There are no non-stop flights from Europe other than from France. Most visitors transit via Réunion or Nairobi.
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.
