How far will your data go?

Choose an allowance to see what it could cover. Quality, compression and background activity change actual usage.

Compare available plans

With 3 GB, approximately…

Send photos

≈ 600 photos

Example: 5 MB per photo

Upload your own videos

≈ 47 clips

Example: a 1-minute Full HD clip ≈ 63 MB

Watch video

≈ 1 hr

HD example: 3 GB per hour

At standard quality: ≈ 4 hr 17 min

Make video calls

≈ 2 hr 46 min

1:1 at 720p: ≈ 1.08 GB per hour

Each result uses the whole allowance for that one activity. The results do not add up: maps, messages and other apps share the same data.

Taking photos or recording video on your phone does not itself use mobile data. Sending, watching or backing them up over the mobile network does.

Where these estimates come from

Planning examples, not guaranteed totals. We use 1 GB = 1,000 MB, round down complete files and minutes, and exclude overhead, retries and background traffic.

5 MB is Verizon’s high-resolution photo example. Your files can be smaller after compression or much larger as originals or RAW. Check the actual file size on your phone. Verizon ↗
63 MB models a 1-minute H.264 Full HD export at 24–30 fps using YouTube’s recommended video and stereo audio bitrates. It is not a universal camera-file size or the cost of watching a clip. YouTube ↗
Viewing examples use Netflix’s published rates: up to 0.7 GB/hr at Medium and up to 3 GB/hr in HD. Other apps and quality settings can differ; these are not YouTube playback rates. Netflix ↗
The call example uses Zoom’s 1:1 720p bandwidth: 1.2 Mbps up and 1.2 Mbps down, together about 1.08 GB/hr. Group calls and higher resolutions can use more. Zoom ↗

How to install an eSIM in Mayotte

Your first eSIM? Here is what to open and what to tap.

Check the exact model, regional variant and system version. If Add eSIM or EID is missing, contact support before buying. A brand name alone does not confirm compatibility.

On iOS 26, a Turn On Travel eSIM notification may appear after arrival. Choose the travel line for data and check whether you also want to keep your home line active. If no notification appears, use the manual steps below.

Check when your package starts: at payment, installation or first connection. If it starts on installation, install nearer your trip. Installing later does not postpone a package that started at payment.

These screens show settings on the models named below. Your operator and eSIM labels will differ. Screens retain the source language; each caption translates and identifies the control to use. Tap any image for a closer look.

iPhone 17 · iOS 26 · Screen source ↗

Before your trip · install the eSIM

Use a stable Wi-Fi connection or hotspot. Your exact phone model must support eSIM and be unlocked for other operators.

01
Open your eSIM installation
Connect the phone you will use for your eSIM to Wi-Fi. Choose one of the two options below. If this eSIM is already installed, skip to choosing the line for mobile data.

The app or email on this phone
In the Letisim app, open My eSIMs, choose your purchased eSIM and tap Install. On the preparation screen, tap Copy name and install.
Or open your eSIM email on this same phone and tap Install eSIM. If the link opens your order page first, use the installation button shown there.

A QR code on another screen
Open your eSIM’s QR code from the email or order on a computer, tablet or another phone. Point the camera of the phone you are installing the eSIM on at the code, then tap the installation prompt.

Both options lead to the phone’s system setup. Continue with step 2.

The button or camera did not open setup?
You can add the eSIM by scanning its QR code in Settings. Follow the path below, choose the QR scanner and use the code for your own purchase. If the QR is on this same phone, see the options without a second screen below the guide.
iPhone: Settings → Mobile Service / Cellular → Add eSIM → Use QR Code → Scan QR Code → Continue
Google Pixel / Android: Settings → Network and Internet → SIMs → Add SIM → Set up an eSIM → scan your QR → Set up
Samsung: Settings → Connections → SIM manager → Add eSIM → Scan QR code → Add → Next
Huawei: Settings → Mobile network → SIM management → SIM 2 → Add eSIM → Add eSIM → Scan code → Add this eSIM
Honor: Settings → Mobile network → SIM management → Add eSIM → Add eSIM or transfer from your device → Set up an eSIM → Set up
Xiaomi / Redmi: Settings → Mobile networks → Use eSIM → Manage eSIM → Add eSIM → Add eSIM → scan your QR → confirm download
Motorola: Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs & mobile network → Download new SIM → Set up an eSIM → scan your QR → Set up
OPPO: Settings → Mobile network → SIM & eSIM settings → Add eSIM → Set up an eSIM → scan your QR → Set up
OnePlus: Settings → Mobile network → eSIM → Add eSIM → Add eSIM → Next → scan your QR → Set up
Enlarge screen ↗
Tap Add eSIM to add your travel eSIM. Screen source ↗
02
Confirm installation on your phone
The install button or your QR code opens the phone’s system setup. Confirm that you want to add the eSIM, then stay connected to Wi-Fi until the profile finishes downloading. If the phone first asks how to add an eSIM, use your QR code. You do not need to transfer your home SIM from another phone.
Continue / Add / Install / Set up → wait for the eSIM to download
Enlarge screen ↗
For the QR option: Choose Use QR Code to install using your QR code. Screen source ↗
Enlarge screen ↗
After scanning, tap Continue to confirm installation of your eSIM. Screen source ↗
03
Give the new line a clear name
For example, “Letisim Mayotte”, so you can distinguish it from your home SIM. This is a label on your phone; it does not change the number or plan.
iPhone: Settings → Cellular / Mobile Service → new eSIM → Cellular Plan Label → Custom
Google Pixel / Android: Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → new eSIM → Edit name
Samsung: Settings → Connections → SIM manager → new eSIM → Name
Huawei: SIM management → SIM 2 → your eSIM → Card name. You can keep the existing label if no rename option is shown.
Honor: SIM management → SIM 2 → eSIM name. Rename it if your MagicOS version offers this option.
Xiaomi / Redmi: Manage eSIM → your plan → Change nickname, if available.
Motorola: Open the new eSIM in SIM settings and use the edit-name option if available.
OPPO: Open the installed profile in eSIM settings and change its label if your ColorOS version allows it.
OnePlus: Open the installed eSIM and edit its name if the option is available.
Line name: Letisim Mayotte

Open the new eSIM to edit its name. The example label may differ from yours. Screen source ↗

Installation adds the eSIM to your phone. Choose it for mobile data at your destination. Package validity still follows its own start rule.

Check roaming in your package guide
If your eSIM instructions require data roaming, enable it for the Letisim line. Keep data roaming off on your home SIM. If an APN is specified, use the exact value in your own package’s guide.
iPhone: Settings → Cellular / Mobile Service → Letisim → Data Roaming (sometimes under Cellular Data Options)
Google Pixel / Android: Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → Letisim → Roaming
Samsung: First select Letisim for mobile data, then Settings → Connections → Mobile networks → Data roaming

06
Check your connection
Turn off Wi-Fi and open a map or website. If it loads, mobile data is working. If it does not, turn airplane mode on for about 30 seconds, turn it off and wait for a connection. Recheck the selected line and package settings.
Wi-Fi off → website loads → you are connected
Enlarge screen ↗
Turn Wi-Fi off using this switch, then open a website or map to check mobile data. Screen source ↗

No second screen for your QR code?

If the scanner has a gallery button, save the QR from your order and choose that image. If your order includes manual installation details, choose Enter details manually and copy the fields exactly. The available methods depend on your phone and eSIM. If neither is available, contact support; do not scan a sample code from this guide or delete an installed eSIM.

Menu names can differ by phone model and system version.

04 / Operators

Mobile operators in Mayotte

Compare network coverage separately from speed. A national result does not predict reception inside your hotel or along a mountain road.

This list is a researched set of the public mobile operators we could verify for Mayotte from regulator material and operator coverage pages. It is not a promise that every Letisim plan includes every network.

Orange Mayotte

Orange publishes a public mobile coverage map and a live network-status page for Mayotte, so travellers can check the places they will actually use rather than relying on a general promise. [1] [3] [4]

Check coverage ↗

SFR Mayotte

SFR Mayotte provides a public coverage page and a separate incident page for its mobile network in Mayotte. [1] [5] [6]

Check coverage ↗

Telco OI / Only Mayotte

ARCEP records referenced in the collected sources point to this operator as part of the Mayotte mobile market, but a public coverage tool was not verified here. [1] [2] [7]

Official website ↗

The network in your chosen package is what matters. This country comparison does not mean every plan includes every operator. 5G depends on the package, phone and local coverage.

05 / Coverage

Coverage across Mayotte

Check the addresses and roads you will actually use. Save maps and booking details before leaving Wi-Fi.

🇾🇹 Mayotte

Mamoudzou
Petite-Terre and the airport side
Southern coast and beach routes
Lake Dziani area

Mamoudzou

Mamoudzou is the most practical base for arrivals, everyday errands and city use. Check your hotel, port access and road-transfer areas specifically, because those are the places where travellers notice connectivity most. [8] [7]

Petite-Terre and the airport side

This is the arrival side of Mayotte, with the airport and the barge link to Grande-Terre. Set up and test your eSIM before the transfer, then keep data ready for maps, messages and meeting-point changes during the crossing. [7] [8]

Southern coast and beach routes

For southern drives and beach stops, rely on operator coverage pages for the exact places on your route. If your day mixes driving, swimming and photos, a plan with enough data for repeated navigation and messaging is more useful than a bare-minimum allowance. [9] [4] [5]

Lake Dziani area

Around the crater-lake area, mobile use is mostly about navigation, photos and coordination before and after the visit. Save offline maps in advance so you are not dependent on a continuous signal during the walk. [8] [11]

Mayotte · eSIM

How mobile internet works here

Mayotte’s public mobile market is shaped by Arcep’s frequency and licensing decisions, while Orange Mayotte and SFR Mayotte provide public coverage tools that let travellers check the exact places they care about. That matters more than a broad slogan, because practical use usually depends on where you sleep, where you land and which roads or crossing points you actually use.

The most useful way to choose an eSIM is to match it to your route and habits. If your days include the airport side, the ferry crossing, Mamoudzou and southern coastal stops, you will usually benefit from enough data for navigation, messaging and ride coordination. A sensible allowance plus a quick coverage check is more valuable than guessing a universal winner from afar.

Useful apps and travel tools

GariCo Mobilités à Mayotte ↗

A local mobility app for Mayotte that combines ride coordination with ferry and bus information. [10]

Google Maps ↗

Useful for offline maps, place searches and familiar route planning on the island. [11]

Before you buy

Airport arrival and the ferry crossing

The easiest time to finish setup is while you still have stable Wi‑Fi. If your itinerary includes the ferry between Petite-Terre and Grande-Terre, having data ready helps with timing, directions and meeting points as soon as you land. [7] [8] [10]

Choosing how much data to buy

For maps, taxi coordination, messaging and a few photos, a smaller plan may be enough. If you expect repeated island transfers, hotspot use or long days away from your accommodation, a larger allowance is usually the safer choice. [3] [4] [5] [8] [9]

06 / FAQ

Questions about eSIM in Mayotte

Which network should I choose for a trip to Mayotte?

Start with the coverage pages for the places you will actually use: airport arrival areas, your hotel, Mamoudzou, the ferry link and any beach or south-coast stops. Orange and SFR Mayotte both publish public tools, so they are the easiest to compare before you buy. Telco OI / Only Mayotte is also part of the market references in the collected regulator material, but the right choice still depends on your route and data use, not on one universal winner. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

Is a small data plan enough for Mayotte?

It can be enough if you mainly need maps, messages, taxi coordination and a few photos. If you expect repeated cross-island travel, hotspot use or long days away from your accommodation, a larger plan is safer. In practice, a bit of spare data is usually more useful than relying on coverage alone to keep usage low. [3] [4] [8] [9]

Should I install the eSIM before or after arrival?

Before arrival is usually easier. That gives you a stable connection for the QR scan and setup steps, and it avoids the stress of looking for Wi‑Fi right after landing. It is especially helpful if your itinerary includes the airport side and then the ferry to Grande-Terre, because ready-to-use data helps with directions and meeting points immediately. [7] [10]

Can I rely on coverage outside Mamoudzou?

Often yes, but it is better to check each route separately instead of assuming the same experience everywhere. Use the operator map for your exact stops, especially if you will spend time on Petite-Terre, travel across the ferry corridor, or drive the southern coast. For walks and viewpoints, offline maps are still worth downloading in advance. [4] [5] [8] [9] [11]

What apps are useful once I land?

GariCo Mobilités à Mayotte is the most destination-specific option, because it combines ride coordination with ferry and bus information. Google Maps is a strong companion for offline maps and familiar route planning. Together they cover the main needs of most travellers: getting from the airport, crossing the ferry, finding places and keeping an eye on timing. [10] [11]
