Setup

Arrive in Mauritania already connected

Set up your eSIM before you travel — it takes about a minute. Scan the code once, switch it on when you land, and you're online.

On iPhone (iOS)

  1. After purchase, open the confirmation email and tap the QR code (or go to Settings → Mobile Data → Add eSIM and scan the QR code).
  2. Label the plan (for example, "vigxo travel") and set your normal SIM as the default line for calls and SMS.
  3. Turn on Data Roaming for the vigxo line — this uses our local partner network, not your home network provider.

On Android

  1. Open Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → Add eSIM, then scan the QR code from your email.
  2. Download the profile and set vigxo as your mobile data line.
  3. Enable roaming for the vigxo line so it connects to the local network when you arrive.

Good to know

  • Works on eSIM-capable phones (iPhone XS or newer, Pixel 3 or newer, and recent Samsung Galaxy S, Note and Z models). Older or network-locked phones may not support eSIM.
  • Install over Wi-Fi before you fly — you only need to enable it when you land, and no mobile signal is required for setup.
  • Data-only plans: keep your standard SIM active for calls and texts, and use WhatsApp or FaceTime over your data connection.
  • The price you see at checkout is final. We offer a full refund at any time before you install the eSIM.

How eSIMs work in Mauritania

A travel eSIM for Mauritania is a digital SIM that downloads directly to your phone — no plastic card and no queuing at airport counters. You buy online, scan the QR code we email to you, and your phone installs a second line alongside your normal SIM. It stays dormant until you arrive in Mauritania, then connects automatically to trusted local networks on LTE. Your normal number keeps working for calls and texts, while the eSIM handles your mobile data.

How much data do you need in Mauritania?

Maps, messaging and taxi apps use very little data — roughly 300–500 MB a day. If you add photos, social media and the occasional video, expect to use closer to 1 GB a day. For a one-week trip, a 5 GB plan is usually plenty; for two weeks, tethering, or heavy use, opt for 10 GB or more, or choose a top-up plan you can reload as you go. Mauritania plans start at £28.10 across 5 sizes, with the per-GB price clearly shown so you can easily spot the best value.

Will you pay roaming charges in Mauritania?

No. A travel eSIM for Mauritania is a local data plan rather than international roaming — you pay the upfront price you see online, with no unexpected per-megabyte charges from your home network provider. Simply set the eSIM as your mobile data line and switch data roaming off on your normal SIM to avoid any surprises on your next bill. We offer a full refund at any time before installation, so there is no risk in buying ahead.

Setting up your Mauritania eSIM

  1. 1. Buy a plan — your QR code arrives by email within seconds.
  2. 2. While connected to Wi-Fi before you fly, open Settings → Mobile Data → Add eSIM and scan the QR code.
  3. 3. When you land in Mauritania, turn on data roaming for the eSIM line and you'll be online in about a minute.

Mauritania eSIM — your questions answered

When does my Mauritania eSIM start?
Your validity period begins when the eSIM first connects to a mobile network in Mauritania, not when you purchase it. You can safely install it before you fly, and it will only activate when you arrive.
Will my phone work in Mauritania?
You need an eSIM-capable, network-unlocked phone (such as an iPhone XR or newer, Pixel 3 or newer, or recent Samsung Galaxy). Check our compatibility page before buying — and if your phone turns out to be incompatible, you will receive a full refund as long as the eSIM hasn't been installed.
Can I keep my number and WhatsApp in Mauritania?
Yes. A vigxo plan is data-only, so your normal SIM remains active for calls, texts and your usual number. WhatsApp, iMessage and all your regular apps will continue working over the eSIM data connection.
What if I run out of data in Mauritania?
If your plan supports it, you can top up an active eSIM in seconds from your dashboard without needing to reinstall. Otherwise, simply buy another plan and it will stack onto your existing eSIM.
How do refunds work?
We offer a full refund at any time before installation, with no time limit. Once an eSIM is installed, the data is live and cannot be refunded.
