French Polynesia travel data eSIM
What is a French Polynesia eSIM?
French Polynesia spans 121 islands across the South Pacific, making mobile data essential for navigation and communication. A dedicated eSIM lets you stay connected from the moment you land in Papeete or explore Moorea. Install the profile at home before departure. The validity period begins only when your device first connects to a local network, ensuring you do not lose days to transit time. This setup supports maps, translation, and booking apps throughout your stay in the archipelago.
Your data connects to Vini 5G networks within French Polynesia. This operator provides connectivity for the territory. The plan activates upon your first connection at the destination. You can use the data for web browsing, messaging, and app updates. The service operates independently of your home carrier, allowing you to maintain your existing number for calls and SMS while using the eSIM for internet access.

Local networks
Which networks you connect to in French Polynesia
The eSIM connects to Vini 5G networks in French Polynesia. Coverage availability depends on the operator’s infrastructure in your specific location. Urban areas like Papeete typically have better access than remote atolls. You can check local network status before travel. The plan does not guarantee connectivity in every part of the archipelago, so verify expected coverage for your itinerary. This ensures you understand the practical limits of mobile data access during your trip.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operator does the French Polynesia eSIM use?
The eSIM connects to Vini 5G networks. For travellers, this means accessing local data infrastructure within French Polynesia. Coverage depends on Vini 5G’s presence in your specific location. This setup allows you to use mobile data for maps, apps, and communication while visiting the islands.
Does the eSIM work in neighbouring countries?
No, this is a single-country plan valid only in French Polynesia. It does not provide data in neighbouring territories like American Samoa. If you plan a regional trip, look for multi-country plans that include multiple operators and destinations.
Which plan size fits a trip to Papeete and Moorea?
For a short stay in Papeete and Moorea, the 3GB / 30 days plan is a rough guide for moderate use. If you stream video or use maps heavily, consider the 5GB / 30 days option. Choose based on your expected data consumption.
Will I lose my own phone number?
No. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls and WhatsApp. The eSIM only carries data, so both work side by side.
When does my plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy it. So you can install it days before you fly without losing any time.
Is my phone compatible?
Most phones from 2018 onwards are: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, you have eSIM. Full list on our Device Compatibility page.
How fast will I get my QR code?
Usually within a couple of minutes of payment, by email. If it has not arrived, check spam first, then write to us and we will resend it immediately.
Can I use hotspot or tethering?
Yes, on every plan we sell. Share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or the rest of your group.
What if I change my mind?
If you have not installed the eSIM, you get a full refund within 180 days. Once a profile is activated and data has been used it cannot be refunded — the allowance is consumed from the network. Full detail in our Refund Policy.
Do you sell plans for groups?
Yes. For Umrah and Hajj groups, student trips and tour operators we deliver the QR codes as a single batch before departure, at group rates. Email us with your group size and destination.
