If you're looking for an island paradise to visit sometime soon, you'll certainly want to keep the sensational Seychelles in your sights! This stunning African archipelago has beaches upon beaches for you to traverse and explore, and what's more, it's packed full of wildlife and nature reserves – perfect for anyone who wants to just kick back and relax or explore the great outdoors.
And yet, you're still probably going to need access to mobile data! We're all hooked to our phones nowadays, but even if you just want to keep in touch with people back home for emergencies, or want to upload selfies to Instagram, it pays to find a reliable, cost-effective way to stay connected while you explore the Seychelles.
The answer, of course, is an eSIM – but why should you download and install a SIMOVO eSIM over finding a traditional sim card in the Seychelles? Let's take a look.
eSIMs: The best way to stay connected in the Seychelles
Even though you're probably raring to go explore the islands, there are still plenty of reasons why you should keep your phone or tablet topped up on mobile data. After all, you never know when you'll come across a WiFi hotspot, or if you'll find a reasonable local SIM.
An eSIM is much like a traditional SIM card in that it provides connectivity to a mobile network. However, it's digital – meaning that once you buy an eSIM, you can download it to your phone or device, and it'll stay active for a set period of time or for however much data you have loaded up on it.
That means you can load up on mobile data to use in the Seychelles before you even set off for the airport. With SIMOVO, you'll also be able to choose how much data you'd like for your trip, or how long you'd like the eSIM to run for.
With Seychelles eSIMs from SIMOVO, you can add up to 5GB of data – that's on networks offering up to 4G speeds – to run for up to 30 days. If you're staying for a shorter period, there's a week's worth of data – 1GB – that should comfortably accommodate IMs, social media, and uploads while you're away.
Plus, it's really easy to get started. All you have to do is purchase your eSIM through our store, scan your QR code, and it will automatically activate once you land in the Seychelles. Provided your device is compatible with our service (and you're activated to roam and accept eSIMs), you're ready to go.
What makes eSIMs such a good deal?
No matter where you travel – the Seychelles or anywhere else in the world – staying connected at an affordable rate isn't always easy. Most of the time, home mobile networks will be ready to throw roaming charges and daily fees at you just for connecting while you're abroad.
With a SIMOVO eSIM, however, you only ever pay for the data you want to use. And, if you run out, just top up again by buying and downloading another eSIM – it really is that simple!
What's more, think about the amount of time and money you'd usually spend on hunting down a reasonable tariff and SIM in the Seychelles to make sure you're completely covered. How do you even know you're getting the best possible prices for the calls, texts, and social access you need?
SIMOVO's Seychelles eSIMs give you access to the reliability and high-speed connectivity of Airtel 4G, meaning it'll be just like you're browsing the internet or chatting with friends and family at home.
On top of all of this, there are no speed restrictions, no contracts, no hidden fees or nasty surprises. What you see is what you get.
Just remember that SIMOVO eSIMs cover you for data access only – meaning if you'd like to make calls or send texts, you'll need to do so through a data app such as FaceTime, WhatsApp, Snapchat, Zoom, or Facebook Messenger.
You can still keep your existing SIM in place while you travel and use your eSIM, but do remember to restrict your outgoing calls and texts through it, or you might be charged extra.
Make internet access one less thing to worry about when you're away
Whether you just want to keep in touch with loved ones or want to stream your whole adventure, it really does pay to get your mobile data access sorted out before you visit the Seychelles. Otherwise, you could be left wandering around looking for local SIMs or WiFi hotspots – and, did you know hotspots are notoriously insecure?
Sorting out your eSIM before you head to the Seychelles means you can browse the web and share your travels with the whole world and not even have to think twice about bills, connectivity, or data speeds. And, if you're travelling further into Africa or are going on a world tour, SIMOVO also offers continental and global eSIM passes, many of which have unlimited data with daily recommended limits!
We want to help you make your trips away as stress-free and as connected as possible – no matter where you are, and no matter what you use the web for. Check out SIMOVO's Seychelles eSIMs and our wider range of services to learn more.
