Internet in Morocco: How to Stay Connected on Your Erasmus Fun Trip

Travelling to Morocco with Erasmus Fun? Between exploring cities, discovering incredible landscapes and heading into the desert, you’ll want internet access to stay in touch, check maps, follow group updates and share your favourite moments.

We recommend arranging your connection before you leave home. Our recommended option is an esimystic eSIM, with 15% off using the code ERASMUSFUN15.

This guide explains how to buy and install your eSIM, where to find your QR code, and what alternatives are available if your phone doesn’t support eSIM.

What’s the Best Way to Get Internet in Morocco?

For our trips, we recommend an esimystic eSIM. Based on Erasmus Fun’s experience, esimystic has delivered the best coverage results among the eSIM providers used on our routes in Morocco.

An eSIM is a digital SIM that you install on your phone. On a compatible device, it lets you add a mobile data plan without inserting a physical SIM card.

For travellers, the main advantages are:

• You can buy and install it before leaving home.

• You don’t need to look for a SIM card on arrival.

• You can keep your existing physical SIM in your phone.

• You can keep using your usual WhatsApp number.

• You get an Erasmus Fun discount.

Mobile coverage always depends on your location. Even with our recommended provider, the signal may be weak or unavailable in remote areas, particularly in the desert.

Before You Buy: Check These Three Things

1. Does Your Phone Support eSIM?

Not every phone is compatible. Before buying, check your phone’s settings or the manufacturer’s information to confirm that your exact model supports eSIM.

Your phone must also be unlocked for use with other networks. If you’re unsure, contact esimystic support before purchasing.

2. Does the Plan Cover Your Whole Trip?

Choose a plan with enough validity for your stay. Read the conditions carefully to understand when the validity period begins: installation and activation may be separate steps.

3. How Much Data Will You Need?

Think about how you normally use your phone. Messaging and occasional map checks use less data than streaming videos, making video calls or frequently uploading to social media.

Before paying, check the data allowance, validity and plan conditions. If you need standard phone calls or SMS, check whether these are included or whether the plan provides data only.

How to Buy and Install Your eSIM

Step 1 — Choose Your Plan

Visit the esimystic Morocco page and choose a plan that matches the length of your trip and your expected data use.

Step 2 — Apply Your Discount

Enter ERASMUSFUN15 in the discount field and confirm that your 15% discount has been applied before paying.

Step 3 — Find Your QR Code Email

Your QR code arrives by email straight after payment, with the subject:

“Your eSIM is Ready! — Order #…”

The QR code is sent by email, so don’t wait to find it on the payment page.

If you don’t see it in your inbox, check your Promotions, Spam or Junk folder.

Step 4 — Install It at Home Using Wi-Fi

The easiest option is to install your eSIM at home, before departure, using a stable Wi-Fi connection. This gives you time to follow the instructions and resolve any questions before travelling.

Follow the installation instructions in your esimystic email. If you need to scan the QR code with your phone’s camera, opening the email on a computer or another device can help.

Check the activation instructions carefully, so your plan’s validity covers the days you need it.

Step 5 — Set Up Your Connection on Arrival

When you arrive in Morocco, follow esimystic’s instructions to select the eSIM for mobile data. If the instructions require data roaming, make sure you enable it on the eSIM line.

To avoid unexpected charges on your usual SIM, check which line is selected for mobile data and review any settings that allow your phone to switch automatically between lines.

Can’t Find Your QR Code?

Before contacting support, check:

• That you’re looking at the email address used for your purchase.

• Your Promotions, Spam and Junk folders.

• Search results for “esimystic” or “Your eSIM is Ready!” in your mailbox.

If you still can’t find it, email:

support@esimystic.com

Explain that you haven’t received your QR code and ask for it to be resent. Include the email address used for the purchase and your order number, if available, to help the team find your order.

Can I Use My Usual SIM in Morocco?

Before using your regular mobile plan, check your operator’s charges and conditions for Morocco. Don’t assume your plan works under the same conditions as it does at home or when travelling within the European Union.

If you’re using an eSIM for internet, review your phone’s settings to make sure mobile data uses the correct line. Calls and SMS through your usual SIM remain subject to your operator’s charges.

Alternative: Buy a Physical SIM at the Airport

If your phone doesn’t support eSIM, you can buy a physical SIM card at the airport on arrival.

Based on the information gathered by Erasmus Fun, budget at least €20 per SIM card. Treat this as an indicative minimum and confirm the current price and conditions when purchasing.

Before buying, ask:

• How much data is included.

• How many days the plan lasts.

• Whether the price includes the SIM card and activation.

• Whether the plan includes calls or provides internet only.

If you remove your usual SIM to insert a local one, keep it somewhere safe.

Is There Wi-Fi at the Hotels and in the Desert?

You shouldn’t rely on Wi-Fi throughout this trip.

At the hotels used on our trips, the connection can be very weak, unstable or unavailable. Avoid relying on hotel Wi-Fi for important tasks or leaving your eSIM installation until the last minute.

There is no Wi-Fi at our desert accommodation. Mobile coverage may also be limited or unavailable in some areas. Having an eSIM or physical SIM doesn’t guarantee a connection throughout the route.

Let family and friends know that you may be unable to reply for a while, particularly during the desert experience.

Tips to Save Data and Prepare for Your Trip

Before leaving home, download any maps you may need and save your bookings, tickets, trip programme and important contact details so you can access them offline.

During the trip, a few simple settings can help your data last longer:

• Turn on your phone’s data-saving mode.

• Disable automatic app updates over mobile data.

• Pause automatic photo and video backups.

• Reduce video quality on social media.

• Avoid unnecessary large downloads.

Bring your charger and, if possible, a power bank. A working connection is only useful if your phone has battery!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Keep Using My WhatsApp?

Yes. You can keep the number already linked to your WhatsApp account and use the eSIM’s internet connection for messages and WhatsApp calls. You don’t need to change your WhatsApp number just because you’re using a different data plan.

Should I Install My eSIM Before Travelling?

Yes, we recommend installing it at home using Wi-Fi. Follow esimystic’s instructions and check when the plan’s validity begins.

Will the eSIM Work Everywhere in the Desert?

Coverage cannot be guaranteed throughout the route. Remote areas, including the desert, may have a weak signal or no mobile coverage.

Can I Share My Internet With Other Travellers?

Check whether your chosen plan supports hotspot or tethering. If it does, remember that connected devices will also use your data allowance and drain your phone’s battery.

Who Should I Contact About My Order or QR Code?

For help with your purchase, QR code or eSIM, contact esimystic directly at support@esimystic.com.

Ready for Morocco?

Arrange your internet before departure and arrive with one less thing to organise. Our recommendation is an esimystic eSIM, installed at home and set up according to the provider’s instructions.
