The Comoros archipelago — three volcanic islands in the Indian Ocean between Madagascar and Mozambique — has a developing mobile infrastructure. The main operators are Comores Telecom (Telma) and HaYi Mobile, with Airtel Comores also present. 4G coverage is mainly concentrated around Moroni (capital on Grande Comore) and main coastal towns, while the outer islands of Anjouan and Mohéli and most rural areas have limited 3G or no signal. Travel eSIM options are limited compared to more popular destinations — Ubigi, GoMoWorld and Airalo's regional Africa plans are the main choices. Data plans are relatively expensive per GB given the limited infrastructure.
A travel eSIM is the fastest way to get connected — no SIM shop, no roaming charges, and your home number stays active.

Best eSIM for Comoros by Traveler Type
Not sure which plan to pick? Here's what we recommend based on your travel style:
Grande Comore — Moroni and Mount Karthala
Moroni has the best connectivity in the country — maps, accommodation booking and messaging apps work reliably in the capital. Signal weakens significantly on the slopes of Karthala volcano. A 1 to 2 GB plan for 7–10 days suits a Grande Comore visit.
Anjouan (Nzwani)
Mutsamudu (Anjouan's capital) has basic 4G in the centre. The surrounding mountains and coastal villages have limited signal. Plan for mostly offline use outside the town. A 1 GB plan for 5 days is sufficient for Anjouan.
Mohéli (Mwali) — eco-tourism
Mohéli is the least developed island — Fomboni has very basic connectivity. Marine park visits and sea turtle nesting sites have no coverage. This is largely an offline destination. A small 500 MB–1 GB plan covers town-only use.
Regional Indian Ocean trip
If combining Comoros with Mayotte, Madagascar or Mauritius, consider a regional Africa or Indian Ocean eSIM from Airalo or Ubigi — more cost-effective than separate country plans for island-hopping.
Photography and remote adventure
Comoros offers extraordinary landscapes — but connectivity is a tool for logistics, not constant use. Download all maps, research and entertainment before arrival. Focus data on messaging back home and essential navigation. A 1–2 GB plan for 10 days is realistic.
Mobile Networks & 4G/5G Coverage in Comoros
Comoros has 3 major mobile operators: Comores Telecom (Telma), HaYi Mobile, Airtel Comores. All offer nationwide 4G coverage, with 5G now available in major cities.
4G coverage is mainly limited to Moroni and the surrounding urban area on Grande Comore. Anjouan (Nzwani) and Mohéli have basic coverage in their main towns (Mutsamudu and Fomboni). Remote areas, beaches and national park zones on all three islands often have limited 3G or no signal. Travelling by boat between islands may have connectivity gaps. Download offline maps before island-hopping.
Most travel eSIM providers use Comores Telecom (Telma) or HaYi Mobile infrastructure in Comoros — both consistently ranked among the best networks in the region. You'll get strong, reliable signal in all major tourist areas.
Tips for Using Your eSIM in Comoros
✈️ Getting to Comoros
Comoros is one of Africa's least accessible destinations — international flights are limited, mainly via Mayotte, Réunion, Madagascar and a few Gulf hubs.
- Ethiopian Airlines and Air Arabia offer connections via Addis Ababa and Dubai
- AIRS Comores operates inter-island flights between Grande Comore, Anjouan and Mohéli
- Book flights well in advance — capacity is very limited
📶 Realistic connectivity expectations
Comoros is one of the world's least connected countries — set realistic expectations before travel. Data speeds are slow by international standards even where 4G is available.
- WhatsApp messages and light web browsing work in Moroni — streaming and video calls may be unreliable
- Most beaches and natural sites have no mobile coverage — download everything offline
- Consider a Comores Telecom local SIM in Moroni as backup if your eSIM signal is weak
🚢 Inter-island travel
Travel between islands is by ferry or small plane — sea crossings can be rough and schedules unreliable.
- Ferry services connect Grande Comore, Anjouan and Mohéli — schedules vary and can be cancelled
- AIRS Comores offers small plane flights but capacity is very limited
- No signal during sea crossings — download offline entertainment for the journey
💰 Currency and payments
Comoros uses the Comorian Franc (KMF), pegged to the Euro. Card payments are almost non-existent outside top hotels — bring cash.
- Exchange euros at official exchange offices in Moroni — few ATMs accept foreign cards
- BIC Comores bank in Moroni is the most reliable for international card withdrawals
- Carry enough cash for your entire stay — electronic payments are very limited
🌊 Marine park and wildlife
Mohéli Marine Park is the main attraction — home to sea turtles, whale sharks and dugongs. Completely offline once inside the park.
- Book park permits and boat guides in advance through accommodation in Fomboni
- Sea turtle nesting season runs June–October — no flash photography required
- Whale sharks are present year-round around Mohéli's reefs
