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 $3.74 today — 37% 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 1,143.

That is well above the $1.98 a gigabyte typically costs across the 234 destinations we track. Mauritania is one of the pricier places we cover, at 191 of 234 counting from the cheapest, and the gap between the best and worst plan on this page is correspondingly wide. The move is recent: the figure went up 311% in October 2026 alone.

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?

Mattel, Mauritel and Chinguitel are the local networks named beneath Mauritania’s travel eSIM offers, with Mattel listed first for reach. A broad mix of providers sells here, including Bloomy eSIM, RedEx eSIM, Roamix, Wanderly eSIM, YonoSIM and Telcomia, so choosing is less about finding a provider that serves the country than finding a plan that fits. Compare the data allowance and validity, and check what happens when the allowance is used up; the brand name alone does not settle either point.

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, Mauritel and Chinguitel are the stated network options, but most eSIMs name just one; SimSmash has the broadest stated reach. That makes the choice more than a packaging difference: one eSIM leaves you with a single operator, while another may offer an alternative if its first network is weak where you are. Before buying, check which operators the eSIM lists against the places you’ll visit.
