Why an eSIM is Recommended for Morocco?
When to check your home plan
Morocco is not in the European Union, so free roaming doesn't automatically apply. However, some European plans include Morocco in their zone (notably some Orange, SFR, or Bouygues plans). Check your account before buying an eSIM.
When an eSIM is recommended
- Extended stay: if your home plan doesn't cover Morocco or has limited quotas
- Heavy usage: streaming, video calls, hotspot
- Budget plan: plans with no Morocco coverage
- Simplicity: no need to check conditions, immediate activation upon arrival
