The best eSIM for Mozambique in 2026. Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Mozambique, priced on the same day: two weeks unlimited for $58.99, a month from $59.99, which to buy.
Prices read on 28 September 2026. Six travel eSIMs sell data for Mozambique and get most of the traffic for this search. We priced all six on the same day, for a week of diving at Tofo, two weeks down the coast to Vilanculos and Bazaruto, and a month, and read the fine print on unlimited. Only one rival sells a Mozambique unlimited plan, so we priced the global plans too.
Ringo Light: Cheapest unlimited for two weeks. 2 weeks at $58.99, one payment, nothing renews: $4.51 less than Holafly's 15 days and $37.01 less than Airalo's global plan. For a month we are not the cheapest: our $114.99 is $3.09 more than Holafly.
Holafly: Cheapest Mozambique unlimited for a few days, a week or a month. 3 days at $19.90, 7 days at $39.50 and 30 days at $111.90, on Vodacom, with no daily cap stated for your own phone.
Saily: Cheapest 10 GB and cheapest month, on a global plan. 10 GB for 30 days at $33.99 on a Mozambique plan, and its Global plan at $59.99 for 30 days: 30 GB at full speed, then 1 Mbps. Its listing is from June.
Airalo: A Mozambique bucket on Vodacom. Its Nacala plan: 10 GB for 30 days at $34, a cent more than Saily, on Vodacom 4G. Its only unlimited is the Discover global plan, $96 for 15 days.

A first trip to Mozambique is often two weeks on the southern coast: Maputo, then Tofo, then Vilanculos and the Bazaruto islands. Only Holafly sells a Mozambique unlimited plan: $63.50 for 15 days. Airalo's nearest is its Discover global plan at $96 for 15 days. Saily, Nomad and Ubigi sell no two-week unlimited here. Ringo Light charges $58.99 for 2 weeks, one payment, nothing renews, the lowest of the three.
For a month the order changes. Holafly asks $111.90 for 30 days and Ringo Light $114.99, so Holafly is $3.09 cheaper than us. Saily's Global plan is $59.99 for 30 days, but it gives 30 GB at full speed and 1 Mbps after that, and its listing is from June. Ubigi's World plan is $120 for 60 GB at full speed and renews monthly; Airalo's Discover plan is $159. If you are staying a month, Holafly is the cheaper unlimited and Saily the cheaper big allowance. We would rather you read that here than at checkout.
Read what unlimited means before you pick. Airalo's Discover plan gives 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps. Ubigi gives a fixed amount at full speed, then 2 Mbps. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone and limits sharing to 1 GB a day. Ringo Light has no speed cap: 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 $58.99 top-up. A heavy two weeks with us costs $117.98, far more than Holafly's 15 days at $63.50; a heavy month costs $173.98. If you will stream every evening, Holafly is the better deal in Mozambique.
For a short trip, Ringo Light sells no 3-day or 7-day plan. Holafly sells 3 days of unlimited at $19.90 and a week at $39.50.
Mozambique has three networks: Vodacom, Movitel and Tmcel. Vodacom is the one most travel eSIMs use, and it is strong in Maputo, Inhambane, Tofo and Vilanculos. Movitel built out far into the countryside. Airalo, Holafly and Nomad ride Vodacom, and Ubigi Movitel. Away from the towns, signal comes and goes on every network: on the Bazaruto islands, in Gorongosa and on the long road north it can drop for hours. Download offline maps and your bookings before you leave a town.
Saily, $33.99 for 10 GB. The cheapest 10 GB for 30 days by a cent. No 20 GB Mozambique plan. Its listing is from June; saily.com would not load for us.
Airalo, $34 for 10 GB. Its Nacala plan on Vodacom 4G, read on its own site today. Buckets from $7 for 1 GB; no 20 GB.
Nomad, $45 for 10 GB. On Vodacom. For 20 GB it only sells its Global plan, $103 for 30 days.
Ubigi, $59 for 10 GB on its World plan. Its Mozambique buckets stop at 3 GB. Its World plan sells 20 GB a month for $44, but that one renews every month until you stop it.
Ringo Light, no buckets. Our 2 weeks starts with 10 GB for $58.99 and our 30 days with 20 GB for $114.99. For a fixed amount of data, Saily, Airalo and Nomad are all cheaper in Mozambique. Buy Ringo Light for unlimited with no daily cap, not for a bucket.
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 Mozambique it sells two trips, both unlimited data at full speed with no speed cap: 2 weeks at $58.99, starting with 10 GB, and 30 days at $114.99, starting with 20 GB. Each adds 10 GB once at 80%, charged at $58.99. One payment, nothing renews. The eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan, no app.
In Mozambique our 2 weeks is the cheapest unlimited we found for two weeks. Our month costs $3.09 more than Holafly's. Mozambique is not in any of our regional trips, so there is no cheaper Ringo Light for it.

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 Mozambique, and what your phone needs for it. Eight places most first trips include, from Maputo and the southern beaches to the islands of the north and Gorongosa in the middle, with the one thing your data does for you at each. Signal is good in the towns; on the islands and in the parks it comes and goes, so offline maps and saved bookings matter.
The cathedral and City Hall, Maputo. The white Cathedral of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception stands next to City Hall on Independence Square, at the top of the capital's old centre. Walk down from there to the railway station and the waterfront in the cool of the morning. Save your hotel as a map pin and share your live location with a friend when you take a taxi at night.
Maputo National Park, Near Ponta do Ouro, south of Maputo. Dunes, lakes and an empty coastline with elephants in the bush behind it, between Maputo and the diving and dolphin beaches of Ponta do Ouro near the South African border. The tracks are deep sand and 4x4 only. Download the offline map before you drive in: signal fades inside the park.
Tofo beach, Near Inhambane. A long surf beach and a small village known for diving with manta rays and whale sharks. Humpback whales pass offshore in the southern winter, roughly July to October. Dive shops book and confirm over WhatsApp. Check the swell and wind forecast the evening before a boat dive.
A dhow at sunset, Vilanculos. The town on the bay facing the Bazaruto islands, with flights from Maputo and Johannesburg. Take a dhow out on the water in the late afternoon. The bay is shallow and the tide goes far out. Look up the tide times before you book a boat.
The Bazaruto dunes, Bazaruto Archipelago National Park. Island dunes above clear water, with coral reefs for snorkelling and some of the last dugongs on the coast. Day trips leave Vilanculos by boat or dhow. Signal on the islands is weak. Send your plans home and download the offline map before the boat leaves.
Ilha de Moçambique, Nampula province. The old Portuguese capital, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, joined to the mainland by a long single lane bridge. The Fortress of São Sebastião guards its northern tip. Card machines are rare on the island. Bring enough meticais from Nampula and check the map for the nearest ATM.
The old forts of Ibo, Quirimbas Archipelago, Cabo Delgado. A quiet island of crumbling colonial houses and stone forts, reached by small plane or boat, with mangroves and sandbanks around it. Parts of Cabo Delgado are under travel warnings. Read your government's latest advice online before you book, and again before you fly.
Mount Gorongosa over the floodplain, Gorongosa National Park. A park in the centre of the country, restored since the civil war, with lions, elephants and huge herds of antelope on the Lake Urema floodplain. The dry months, roughly May to November, are the usual time for game drives. Expect no signal on most game drives. Download the offline map and your park bookings before you arrive.
We priced Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Mozambique 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.
Left out: Maya Mobile, we could not read its own prices for this country on the day, so it stays out rather than being guessed.

For two weeks of unlimited data, Ringo Light at $58.99 on 28 September 2026, against $63.50 for Holafly's 15 days. For a month, Holafly at $111.90 against $114.99 for Ringo Light, or Saily's Global plan at $59.99 for 30 GB at full speed. For 3 days, Holafly at $19.90. For a 10 GB bucket, Saily at $33.99 or Airalo at $34.
Airalo, Holafly and Nomad ride Vodacom, and Ubigi rides Movitel. Saily does not name its network on its listing. All of them cover Maputo and the southern coast towns; on the islands and in the parks signal is patchy on every network.
Every brand has a limit somewhere. Airalo's Discover plan slows you after 3 GB a day, Saily's Global plan after 30 GB, Ubigi's World plan after its fixed full-speed amount. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone. Nomad sells no unlimited here. Ringo Light has no speed cap: it starts with 10 or 20 GB and adds 10 GB once at 80%, charged.
You can, from Vodacom, Movitel or Tmcel, but every SIM in Mozambique has to be registered to your passport, which means a queue and a form after a long flight. A travel eSIM needs none of that: you install it at home and it works when you land.
