id='wpdt-custom-style-1'>\n.wpdt-bc-F5F2FB { background-color: #F5F2FB !important;}\n<\/style>\n\n\n\n\n<p>A traveler visiting Mozambique usually prefers a physical SIM card because of its broad availability across the nation coupled with better network coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An eSIM may be suitable for shorter urban trips where consistent WiFi is available. However physical SIMs provide the flexibility and connectivity needed across destinations without reliance on online access. Their easy purchase also means no need to arrange an eSIM in advance of travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"iii-how-much-data-is-enough-for-a-prepaid-tourist-sim-card-for-mozambique\">III. How Much Data Is Enough for A Prepaid Tourist SIM Card for Mozambique?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As a local Mozambican, here are my recommendations for data allowances on prepaid SIM cards suitable for different types of tourists:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>For short 3-7 day trips focusing on major destinations, 3GB of data should be sufficient. This amount allows tourists to: Use Google Maps; check transportation schedules, and light social media use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>If staying 1-2 weeks exploring multiple locations off the beaten path, I&#8217;d recommend getting a package with <strong>5-7GB<\/strong>. This provides a better buffer for complicated tasks or working tasks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>For long-term tourists\/digital nomads here 1 month or more, 8-10GB allows comfortable internet use without worrying about limits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"iv-how-much-does-a-mozambique-sim-card-cost\">IV. How Much Does a Mozambique SIM Card Cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mozambique SIM card pricing depends on the mobile data amount, validity period, and extras like Mozambique calls\/texts. Here are sample SIM card prices from major providers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wpdt-c row wpDataTableContainerSimpleTable wpDataTables wpDataTablesWrapper\n\"\n    >\n        <table
