The mobile market in French Polynesia is served by three main infrastructure providers:
Our travel eSIMs automatically hook into the top local networks (Vini or Vodafone) to ensure you maintain a reliable connection.
4G coverage is widely available, while 5G is still in its very early stages. On the main, high-traffic islands like Tahiti, Moorea, and Bora Bora, you will experience a stable and dependable 4G LTE signal. However, on smaller, more isolated atolls, the network infrastructure often drops to 3G or may be completely unavailable due to the remote geography.
Yes, tethering and sharing your connection is fully supported. You can easily use your smartphone as a personal hotspot to share your mobile internet with a tablet, laptop, or your travel companions. Just make sure that the hotspot option is enabled in your device's network settings.
Yes, Google Maps works on the islands. The application is highly useful for navigating the main coastal roads of Tahiti or Bora Bora. However, because signal strength can weaken significantly in mountainous inland interiors or during boat transfers across lagoons, we highly recommend downloading offline maps of the region before your trip.
Absolutely. Thanks to Dual SIM technology, your physical home SIM and your new digital eSIM can run at the same time. You can configure your device to keep your home number active exclusively for crucial voice calls and SMS, while the travel eSIM delivers your mobile internet, protecting you from unexpected roaming fees.
Internet speeds are good on major islands but limited on remote atolls. In areas with solid 4G coverage (like Tahiti and Bora Bora), download speeds generally range between 10 and 25 Mbps, which is perfectly sufficient for messaging, social media, and navigation. On isolated islands, the mobile internet relies heavily on satellite links, resulting in slower speeds and higher latency.
