## Using your phone in Mayotte

The main gateway is Dzaoudzi–Pamandzi International (DZA). Scan your Mayotte eSIM QR code at home, then switch the line on when the plane lands, and you can message your hotel or driver straight away.

To get around, most visitors use the barge ferry and local taxis. Your Mayotte eSIM works across the country, including Mamoudzou, Dzaoudzi and Petite-Terre, wherever partner networks reach.

Signs and menus are mostly in French, so a camera-translate app is worth having on mobile data. Prices are in euro, and your bank's one-time codes still arrive on your home SIM.

## eSIM, local SIM or roaming: what works best in Mayotte

|  | LinkPaLS eSIM | Local SIM card | Home roaming |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Set up | At home, before you fly | On arrival, at a shop or kiosk | Already on |
| ID needed | None | Usually a passport | None |
| Your home number | Stays on | Removed while the SIM is out | Stays on |
| Cost | Fixed, paid once | Low, but only after arrival | Often the most expensive |
| Best for | Most travelers | Long stays with a local number | Very short emergency use |

Roaming is the easy option and usually the priciest. A local SIM is cheap but costs you an hour on arrival. The Mayotte eSIM sits in between: set up at home, priced like local data.

### Does the eSIM work in Dzaoudzi and Petite-Terre?

Yes. Your Mayotte eSIM covers Mayotte wherever partner networks reach, including Mamoudzou, Dzaoudzi and Petite-Terre. Remote areas may drop to slower speeds or lose signal.

### Will my eSIM work when I land at Dzaoudzi–Pamandzi International?

Yes. If you install it before your flight, it connects once you land and switch off airplane mode. Turn the line on and allow data roaming for it.

### What are the downsides of an eSIM?

Your phone must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked, most QR codes install only once, and LinkPaLS plans are data-only, so you call through apps like WhatsApp or FaceTime.

Most visitors use the barge ferry and local taxis. Any app you need runs on your LinkPaLS data, and the driver or host can reach you on WhatsApp.

Yes. LinkPaLS plans allow tethering, so you can share data with a laptop or a travel partner. Hotspot use drains data faster, so size up your plan.
