Questions about Mauritius eSIMs
Do both of us need a plan?
One tends to do if you are together all week and happy to share the connection from whichever handset carries it.
Buy two if you will split up, because a phone left behind at the resort helps nobody.
Is the resort connection enough for a week?
It is enough in a lounge chair and nowhere else.
On a boat, at a market or on the drive to dinner it does nothing for you, and the plan you bought is the one that comes along.
What about the roads and bays away from the resort?
Take the coverage list on this page as the answer, since it names Mauritius and nothing inside it.
No bay, pass or cane road is answered on its own, so save the map before you drive out.
Do I need data for the photographer and the bookings?
For the times, the meeting spots and the changes, yes.
Nearly all of it arrives as a message on the morning, and a handset with nothing left on it is the one thing nobody plans for.
Is one plan enough for the whole stay?
Inside the country there is nothing to change.
The plan answers for Mauritius as the coverage list on this page has it, so moving from a resort to a guesthouse asks nothing of the phone.
What about a day out on a boat?
Treat it as its own question and plan for nothing.
The coverage list on this page names the country rather than the water around it, so take the booking and the meeting point with you saved.
Questions about every Ryvo plan
Will it work on my phone?
Does it come with a phone number?
No.
Ryvo eSIMs are data only.
There's no phone number, and you can't make calls or send texts on the eSIM itself.
Can I keep my usual number?
Yes.
Keep your main SIM on for calls and texts, and set the eSIM as your mobile data line.
Your carrier's roaming rates still apply to calls and texts, so check them before you go.
Can I share my data as a hotspot?
It depends on the plan.
Each plan says whether hotspot is allowed before you pay.
What if I run out of data?
Add data from your order page if your plan can be topped up.
If it can't, buy another plan for the same destination.
What if my eSIM won't connect?
Email us and we'll work through it with you, starting with your phone's mobile data settings.
If we can't get it working, our refund policy explains what happens next.
Before you go
The coverage list on this page names Mauritius and the network your plan sits on.
It answers for the country, so a bay, a reef or a road over the middle is not something it rules on.
Put the resort booking, the transfer and the table you want on the one phone you both agree to carry.
Two handsets hunting the same thread is how a dinner gets missed.
Anything booked for two is worth keeping in two places.
A spa time or a boat trip that lives in one inbox alone is one flat battery away from being nobody's.
Keep your usual SIM switched on for calls and texts, and choose the eSIM for mobile data.
