Which mobile networks you get in Mauritania

Mattel and Mauritel make this a short, two-network list, and Mattel is the name published by most eSIM providers. The operator is therefore often decided before the buyer chooses a plan; Mauritel is the other network to look for when checking what a particular eSIM has named. With so little operator variety, the meaningful differences between plans are likely to sit elsewhere than the underlying Mauritanian network.

Where your data comes out in Mauritania

Breakout location varies by provider: one keeps traffic in Mauritania, while the others send it through the UK, Austria or the United States. That makes provider choice the key distinction in this comparison. For the foreign routes, the typical round trip to Mauritanian services is about 96ms, with the longest route estimated at about 130ms; this adds latency, not a download-speed limit, and gives you a foreign IP. A local banking app may therefore reject most options, while the local route should behave normally.

What eSIM data costs in Mauritania

A gigabyte of data on a Mauritania eSIM typically costs $0.91 today — 85% less than the $5.90 it cost in December 2025, over which time the number of plans we compare for Mauritania went from 131 to 1,330.

That is 43% below the $1.61 a gigabyte typically costs across the 229 destinations we track — only 51 of them come in lower, which puts Mauritania among the cheapest places in the world to buy mobile data as a visitor. It has never been cheaper: $0.91 in September 2026 is the lowest figure we have recorded for Mauritania.

Every figure here is the lower quartile of the plans in our catalogue that month — the cheaper end of what was actually on sale, rather than an average pulled up by a handful of premium plans.

Frequently Asked Questions about eSIMs for Mauritania

How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Mauritania, and how many prepaid data plans are there?

Choice is broad in Mauritania: most major travel eSIM brands list it, including AirHub, RedEx eSIM, Roamix, UBIGI, eSimCard and Stellar eSIM. Their catalogues are not interchangeable, so the useful comparison is the allowance, validity and what happens after the data is used, rather than the brand name alone. The underlying networks named by providers are Mattel and Mauritel, with Mattel listed most widely. Network labelling is therefore worth checking alongside the bundle’s size and duration; a familiar provider may still offer a poor fit for a short stop or a longer stay.

What are the mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Mauritania?

Mattel and Mauritel are the local operators listed by travel-eSIM providers for Mauritania. That gives buyers a choice of underlying network, but it is usually made indirectly: the provider’s published network list determines which operator the eSIM roams onto, rather than the traveller selecting one at the point of connection. The operator attached to a plan can therefore be established in advance, and two plans for the same destination may use different networks. The provider’s own coverage page is the most useful place to verify the arrangement.

Are there any free data eSIM plans available for Mauritania?

Yes, although the zero-price option is a limited trial rather than a usable trip plan. It generally offers a small allowance, may be speed-restricted, and is normally conditional on registering with the provider; in many cases, it is also limited to one per customer. That makes it useful for getting briefly online when you arrive or testing the service, not for regular mobile use throughout a stay. Mauritania has broad coverage across the main eSIM catalogues, but free data remains an introductory offer rather than the norm.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Mauritania?

Unlimited-labelled eSIMs do appear in the Mauritania market, with plenty of providers offering plans in that category. The label is only a starting point: one option may provide faster data for part of each day, while another may keep that allowance for the whole validity period. Once it is used, the connection is throttled, so video and other data-heavy tasks can become difficult. Check the allowance and when it refreshes before choosing.

eSIM Providers for Mauritania

Mattel is the network named most widely, with Mauritel also appearing, but the market is clustered: most eSIMs state just one operator, while ESIM.DOG lists noticeably more. On a trip, that can mean choosing between an eSIM tied to one operator and one with another network available if the first is weak. Check the stated network list before buying, and favour multiple networks when your route includes areas where signal may vary.
