The best eSIM for the Comoros in 2026. Airalo, Holafly, Saily and Nomad sell no Comoros plan. Ubigi, Maya Mobile, eSIMCard and Ringo Light do, priced on the same day: what each costs.
Prices read on 28 September 2026. Six travel eSIMs get most of the traffic for this search. We checked all six for the Comoros on the same day, and only two of them sell anything there: Ubigi and Ringo Light. Airalo, Holafly, Saily and Nomad have no Comoros plan, and none of their regional or world plans covers it. So we also priced the two well known brands that do sell it, Maya Mobile and eSIMCard, for a week on Grande Comore, two weeks across the three islands, and a month, and read the fine print on unlimited. Maya Mobile is the cheapest unlimited. Here is where each one wins.
Ringo Light: Unlimited with no speed cap and no daily limit, one payment. Unlimited data at full speed for 2 weeks at $32.99 or 30 days at $60.99, one payment each, nothing renews. Maya Mobile is cheaper in the Comoros: $27.99 for 14 days, $5 less, and $49.99 for 30 days, $11 less. Ubigi and eSIMCard ask $77 or more for two weeks.
Maya Mobile: Cheapest unlimited for every trip length. Its Global plan covers the Comoros: 3 days at $9.99, 7 days at $19.99, 14 days at $27.99 and 30 days at $49.99. Full speed for 5 GB a day, then 3 Mbps.
Ubigi: Cheapest data buckets, and the only Comoros plan among the big five. 10 GB for 30 days at $32 and 25 GB for 30 days at $58, on Yas. Both cost a little less than our trips and last a full 30 days.
eSIMCard: A Comoros plan by the day. Unlimited Comoros days from $23.62 for 3 days, at 1 GB a day at full speed, then 512 kbps. Its Global Max plan is cheaper for the same days.
Model: Ubigi Comoros buckets; unlimited only on its Best World plan, a fixed amount, then 2 Mbps; Maya Mobile Global plan (many countries, not a Comoros plan): unlimited days only; eSIMCard Comoros plan or Global Max plan: buckets or unlimited days; Ringo Light Unlimited trips: 2 weeks or 30 days.
Unlimited, 3 days: Ubigi No 3-day plan; Maya Mobile $9.99, Global plan; eSIMCard $23.62; Global Max $20.91; Ringo Light No 3-day plan.

Full speed on unlimited: Ubigi A fixed amount, then 2 Mbps; Maya Mobile 5 GB a day, then 3 Mbps; eSIMCard 1 GB a day, then 512 kbps; Ringo Light No speed cap; starts with 10 or 20 GB, adds 10 GB once at 80%, charged.

Most trips to the Comoros are one to three weeks, often a week on Grande Comore and a few days on Mohéli or Anjouan, and data is what you use for maps, WhatsApp with guides and drivers, and flight changes between the islands. Four of the brands we priced we set out to compare sell nothing for the Comoros. Maya Mobile's Global plan covers it: $27.99 for 14 days and $49.99 for 30 days. Ringo Light charges $32.99 for 2 weeks and $60.99 for 30 days, one payment each, nothing renews. Maya Mobile is $5 cheaper for two weeks and $11 cheaper for the month.
The other two cost much more. Ubigi sells no unlimited Comoros plan; its Best World plan asks $77 for 15 days with 30 GB at full speed and $108 for 30 days with 60 GB, then 2 Mbps. eSIMCard asks $89.18 for 15 days on its Comoros plan, or $77.11 on its Global Max plan, with 1 GB a day at full speed.
Read what unlimited means before you pick. Maya Mobile gives 5 GB a day at full speed, then 3 Mbps for the rest of the day. Ringo Light has no speed cap and no daily limit: the 2 weeks starts with 10 GB and the 30 days with 20 GB, and when you have used 80% we add 10 GB once and charge the $32.99 top-up. A heavy two weeks with us costs $65.98 and a heavy month $93.98, more than Maya Mobile's $27.99 and $49.99 and still under Ubigi and eSIMCard. Buy Ringo Light if you want one plan with no daily cap; if 5 GB a day at full speed is enough, Maya Mobile is the better buy here.
For a short trip, Ringo Light sells no 3-day or 7-day plan. Maya Mobile sells 3 days of unlimited at $9.99 and a week at $19.99, $13 less than our 2 weeks.
The Union of the Comoros is three islands: Grande Comore (Ngazidja), with Moroni and Mount Karthala; Mohéli (Mwali), the smallest and quietest; and Anjouan (Ndzuani). There are two mobile networks, Comores Telecom and Yas, the former Telma Comores. Both cover Moroni, Mutsamudu and the main coastal towns; on the slopes of Karthala, in the hills of Anjouan and along much of Mohéli, signal comes and goes. Ubigi's plan rides Yas; Maya Mobile and eSIMCard do not name a network on their listings.
Mayotte, the fourth island of the archipelago, is French and a separate destination for every eSIM here, including ours. If your trip takes in both, see our Mayotte comparison at /blog/best-esim-for-mayotte.
The Comoros runs on cash, in Comorian francs. Cards work in a few hotels in Moroni and little else, and cash machines are few outside the capital. Download offline maps of all three islands before you land, and keep your flight and boat bookings between the islands as screenshots.
Ubigi, $32 for 10 GB. The cheapest 10 GB for 30 days, on Yas, and 25 GB for 30 days at $58, the cheapest big bucket. For a short stay, 3 GB for 15 days at $14 or 1 GB for 7 days at $7.
eSIMCard, $47.45 for 10 GB. On its Global Max plan; its Comoros plan asks $54.58. 20 GB is $82.68 on Global Max. Its listing is from July.
Maya Mobile, no buckets. For the Comoros it sells only its Global unlimited days, from 3 days at $9.99.
Ringo Light, no buckets. Our 2 weeks starts with 10 GB for $32.99, 99 cents more than Ubigi's 10 GB, and it lasts 2 weeks, not 30 days. Our 30 days starts with 20 GB for $60.99, $2.99 more than Ubigi's 25 GB. For a fixed amount of data, Ubigi is the better buy in the Comoros. Buy Ringo Light for unlimited with no daily cap, not for a bucket. We would rather you read that here than at checkout.
Ringo Light is our own data eSIM, sold to fund the full Ringo, one plan that works everywhere with your own number ported onto it. For the Comoros it sells two trips, both unlimited data at full speed with no speed cap: 2 weeks at $32.99, starting with 10 GB, and 30 days at $60.99, starting with 20 GB. Each adds 10 GB once at 80%, charged at $32.99. One payment, nothing renews. The eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan, no app. Install it at home, before the flight.
In the Comoros it is not the cheapest unlimited. Maya Mobile's Global plan costs $5 less for two weeks and $11 less for the month, with 5 GB a day at full speed. If that daily amount is enough for you, buy Maya Mobile. The Comoros is not in any of our regional trips, so the country trip is the Ringo Light to buy for it.
The card to buy Ringo Light is just below this article.
A few days in Moroni. Maya Mobile unlimited, 3 days, $9.99. Ringo Light sells no 3 days.
A week on Grande Comore. Maya Mobile unlimited, 7 days, $19.99, less than our 2 weeks.
Two weeks across the three islands. Maya Mobile unlimited, 14 days, $27.99, $5 less than ours. Ringo Light at $32.99 if you want no daily cap at all.
Two weeks, light use, budget first. Ubigi 10 GB for 30 days at $32, on Yas.
A month, working from Moroni. Maya Mobile unlimited, 30 days, $49.99. Ringo Light at $60.99, starting with 20 GB and adding 10 GB once for $32.99, if a 5 GB daily cap would slow your work. Ubigi 25 GB for 30 days at $58 if a bucket is enough.
You need your own number to keep ringing. None of these travel plans does that. The full Ringo, which Ringo Light funds, ports the number you have.
What to do in the Comoros, and what your phone needs for it. Eight places most first trips include, from Moroni and Mount Karthala on Grande Comore to the marine park of Mohéli and the old town of Mutsamudu on Anjouan, with the one thing your data does for you at each. Moroni and the main towns have signal; the volcano, the hills and much of Mohéli do not, and almost everything is paid in cash.
The Friday Mosque and the old harbour, Moroni, Grande Comore. The white arcaded mosque stands on the waterfront of the capital, over the old harbour where the fishing boats tie up. Behind it, the narrow lanes of the medina are best walked in the cooler morning. Dress modestly near the mosque, and find a cash machine in Moroni first: it is the easiest place on the islands to get Comorian francs.
Mount Karthala, Grande Comore. An active volcano whose summit caldera is one of the largest of any active volcano in the world. The climb is long and steep, usually done with a guide, and the drier months from about May to October are the usual time to go. Signal fades on the upper slopes. Download the route and an offline map, and send your plans to someone before you start.
Itsandra beach, Just north of Moroni. The city beach of Moroni, a curve of sand below the old town of Itsandra, a short ride from the centre. Locals come in the late afternoon to swim and watch the sunset. Taxis have no meters and many are shared. Agree the fare before you get in, and pin the beach on your map to show the driver.
Mitsamiouli beaches, North of Grande Comore. White sand and palm trees along the north coast, among the best beaches on the island. A day trip from Moroni along the west coast road. There are few shops on the beaches. Bring cash and water from town, and save your driver's number for the ride back.
Lac Salé, Near Bangoi-Kouni, north of Grande Comore. A saltwater lake in an old volcanic crater, a few steps from the sea on the north coast. The path around the rim gives a view over the lake and the ocean. Pair it with Mitsamiouli on the same day; an offline map of the north coast keeps you on track where signal drops.
Nioumachoua and the Mohéli marine park, South coast of Mohéli. A fishing village facing a line of small islets inside the Mohéli national park, with snorkelling over the reefs. Humpback whales pass offshore from about July to October. Boat trips are arranged with local guides, often by WhatsApp. Keep data on in the village to confirm the time the evening before.
The green coast of Mohéli, Mohéli. The smallest and quietest of the three islands, with forested hills running down to mangroves and empty beaches. At Itsamia, on the east side, green turtles come ashore to nest at night. Signal is patchy away from Fomboni and the main villages. Download the island map offline and carry enough cash for your whole stay.
Mutsamudu, Anjouan. The capital of Anjouan, an old stone medina of narrow lanes with a citadel above it and green mountains behind. Most visitors arrive by boat or small plane from Grande Comore or Mohéli. Flights and boats between the islands change with the weather. Check your crossing the day before and keep the booking on your phone.
We priced Ubigi, Maya Mobile, eSIMCard and Ringo Light for Comoros on 28 September 2026, all on the same day, in US dollars. Each rival's price comes from its own website where it showed dollars, otherwise from an esimdb.com listing, and every source and its date is listed below. Ringo Light's prices come from the catalogue our checkout charges.
We compare the trips people actually book: a week, two weeks and a month of unlimited data, and a 10 GB bucket. We read each brand's fair use and speed rules and quote them as the brands state them. We did not run speed tests, so this page makes no speed claims for any brand.
Ringo Light is our own product. We put it in the table on the same terms as everyone else, and where a rival is the better buy the page says so.

Of the brands that sell it on 28 September 2026, Maya Mobile for unlimited: $9.99 for 3 days, $19.99 for a week, $27.99 for 14 days and $49.99 for 30 days on its Global plan, with 5 GB a day at full speed.

The Comoros has two networks, Comores Telecom and Yas, the former Telma Comores. Ubigi rides Yas. Maya Mobile and eSIMCard do not name a network on their listings. Both networks cover Moroni, Mutsamudu and the coastal towns; signal thins on Karthala, in the hills of Anjouan and around much of Mohéli.
Every brand has a limit somewhere. Maya Mobile gives 5 GB a day at full speed, then 3 Mbps. eSIMCard gives 1 GB a day, then 512 kbps. Ubigi's Best World plan gives a fixed amount, then 2 Mbps. Ringo Light has no speed cap: it starts with 10 or 20 GB and adds 10 GB once at 80%, charged.
Not at home prices. The Comoros is not part of the EU, so EU roaming rules do not apply there, and a Mayotte eSIM, ours included, covers Mayotte only. Airalo, Holafly, Saily and Nomad sell no Comoros plan at all on 28 September 2026, so check the coverage list before you buy any global or Africa plan.
