Your Selection
Your plan only starts counting when the eSIM first connects at your destination — so you can buy today and travel in three weeks.
How does Simbye eSIM work for Morocco?
Get connected in under 2 minutes
Set it up at home
After purchase the eSIM arrives by email: a link that installs it in one tap, plus a QR code and the details for manual entry. Do this on Wi-Fi before you fly. The eSIM then sits ready in your phone while your usual SIM stays active next to it — nothing is used up yet.
Switch it on when you arrive
Whether you land at Casablanca (Mohammed V), Marrakech (Menara), Agadir (Al Massira), Tangier (Ibn Battouta), Fès (Saïss), Rabat-Salé, Essaouira, Nador or Oujda, or arrive by ferry at Tanger Med: turn off airplane mode, turn on data roaming for the eSIM and set mobile data to the eSIM. You will usually have signal before your bag reaches the belt.
Validity and top-ups
The days start counting with your first connection in Morocco, not at purchase — so you can order weeks ahead. You can see how much data is left in your account and top up at any time without reinstalling the eSIM. Using a hotspot for a laptop or a travel companion is allowed.
Check Device Compatibility
Make sure your device supports eSIM before purchasing
Which networks will you be on in Morocco?
The eSIM signs in to Maroc Telecom, Orange or Inwi on its own — there is nothing for you to set.
The Simbye eSIM uses 3 networks in Morocco: Maroc Telecom · Orange · Inwi.
Average measured mobile internet performance, nPerf barometer (measured 01.01.2025 – 31.12.2025). What you actually get depends on where you are, the time of day and your phone.
Your eSIM uses three networks in Morocco: Maroc Telecom (IAM), Orange and Inwi. You do not pick one — switch off airplane mode after landing and the phone registers by itself, usually within a minute or two. Only two settings matter: data roaming has to be on for the eSIM, and the eSIM has to be the line selected for mobile data. You do not enter an APN. If the signal bar stays empty, turn airplane mode on and off once; only if that fails should you switch network search from automatic to Maroc Telecom, Orange or Inwi in the settings.
Coverage is solid in the cities: Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech, Fès, Meknès, Tangier, Tetouan, Agadir, Essaouira and Chefchaouen run on 4G throughout, as does the motorway from Tangier via Rabat and Casablanca to Marrakech and on towards Agadir, and the high-speed line Tangier–Kenitra–Casablanca. This eSIM runs on 4G/LTE — plan on 4G everywhere, which is plenty for maps, video calls and uploads; we do not promise 5G. It gets thin exactly where most people are headed: the High Atlas around Imlil and Toubkal, the Tizi n'Tichka pass, the Dades and Todra gorges, the desert camps near Merzouga and M'Hamid, and parts of the Rif. Expect hours without a signal there, and download maps, tickets and addresses in advance.
eSIM or a local SIM card in Morocco?
Morocco makes the case for the eSIM: every card sold there is registered to a person and the shop copies your passport, while yours is running as you step off the plane in Marrakech with your number still live.
| Compared | Simbye eSIM | Local SIM card |
|---|---|---|
| ID document | No registration, you buy the Morocco eSIM online | Every SIM sold inside Morocco must be registered to a person, the shop copies your passport |
| When you get online | As you step off the plane in Marrakech or Casablanca | Only after a shop visit, and not at all at night or on public holidays |
| Your number | Stays active, WhatsApp and your bank's codes keep working | On a single-SIM phone your number is gone for the trip |
| Data | 1 to 20 GB or unlimited, valid 7 to 30 days | You top up with recharge cards from a kiosk or shop |
| Paying | Up front with your card in your own currency | Cash in dirham, which you can only get once you are in the country |
| Calls and SMS | No phone number, you call through WhatsApp and similar apps | Moroccan number with calls and texts included |
| Price | Fixed before you fly, nothing gets added later | Often cheaper per gigabyte, but costs you the trip, the queue and top-up vouchers |
| If something goes wrong | Support by email, a replacement arrives as a link | Back to the shop, with your passport and usually no receipt |
What roaming on your home contract costs in Morocco
The moment your phone registers in Tangier or Casablanca, your provider's international rate kicks in. Depending on your contract that is a day pass charged for every day you travel, or billing per megabyte — and both keep running while you are not looking: the map app in the taxi, photos in the family group, the background chatter of your apps. What it adds up to only shows on the bill after the trip.
On top of that, you use your phone in Morocco more than you expect. You order rides through inDrive instead of at the kerb, you check Al Boraq train tickets between Tangier, Kenitra and Casablanca in the ONCF app on the move, you only find the way to the riad with a map, and your host writes on WhatsApp. Waiting for the riad's Wi-Fi does not help much — you need the connection precisely when you are out. A prepaid eSIM turns that around: you pay once up front, you know before departure what the week costs, and in Morocco the phone simply switches over to that line.
Where the network reaches — and where you need to prepare
Stay where people live and you will barely notice a problem: Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech, Fès, Meknès, Tangier, Agadir, Essaouira, Chefchaouen and the motorway spine between them have continuous 4G, and since November 2025 the big cities and their airports also have 5G. Inside the medinas the signal can drop briefly behind thick walls and in covered alleys; a few steps further on it is back.
The classic round trips are a different story. On the road from Marrakech over the Tizi n'Tichka to Ouarzazate, in the Dades and Todra gorges, trekking around Imlil and Toubkal, and at the desert camps near Merzouga or M'Hamid there are stretches with no reception at all, sometimes for hours. That is not the eSIM's doing — there simply are no masts out there, and a card bought in a shop in Marrakech behaves the same. So take two minutes before you set off: save the map area offline, store tickets as a file, write down the address and phone number of your accommodation. As soon as you head back towards the valley or a town, the network returns on its own.
How much data do you need in Morocco?
So you can work it out instead of guessing: how much an hour costs in the apps you actually use on holiday.
The Netflix and Spotify figures come from the providers themselves (Netflix Help Center, Spotify Support, retrieved 28 Aug 2026). The rest are network-operator estimates (o2, Vodafone, EE) and vary with picture quality and reception.
Passport registration applies to local SIM cards — and what to know about calls
Every SIM card you buy inside Morocco has to be registered to a person. In the shop or at the airport counter your passport is copied or scanned, and without a document you will not get a card. None of that happens with this eSIM: you buy it online before the trip, set it up on Wi-Fi at home and are online as you step off the plane.
About calls: this eSIM is data only and has no phone number, so calling happens through WhatsApp and similar apps. That works in Morocco — the block on internet calls imposed in January 2016 was lifted again in November 2016. Because the rule was changed once, we will not promise you a guarantee for the future. If you need a Moroccan number for regular calls, a local SIM with passport registration is the right way to go.
