Share with your laptop
Hotspot is allowed on the plan selected above, so a second device can use the same data in a cafe or a hotel room.

French Polynesia travel data guide
A French Polynesia eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for French Polynesia that you install before you fly. Plans in French Polynesia run on Vini, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 16 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 10 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $29.99. Unlimited plans are listed too, each with its own fair use line. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in French Polynesia, not when you buy, so you can install it at home days early. For a week of maps, messaging and social apps, most travellers are fine with 3 to 5 GB. Video calls or streaming need more, or an unlimited plan. Travel data in French Polynesia from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
French Polynesia FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in French Polynesia?
It connects wherever Vini has signal, which is the same network local customers use. The eSIM is data only.
When do my days start?
On the first connection in French Polynesia, not at purchase. The plan selected above (3 GB) runs for 15 days from that moment. You can install the eSIM at home and the clock stays still until you connect.
Do I get a local phone number in French Polynesia?
No. The eSIM is data only. Your own SIM stays in for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working over the eSIM data.
Can I share data with my laptop?
Yes. Hotspot sharing is supported on the plan selected above, so your laptop or tablet can use the eSIM data through your phone.
Which network does the French Polynesia eSIM run on?
The French Polynesia eSIM runs on Vini, the only operator on these plans. Our catalogue lists it as 5G, with plans labelled 3G/4G or 4G/5G. Because one operator carries everything, the phone cannot change network if Vini has no signal where you are.
Is 3 GB enough for two weeks in French Polynesia?
3 GB over 15 days is enough in French Polynesia for maps, messages and a few photo uploads a day, as long as bigger uploads wait for WiFi. If you plan to share video daily, a 15 day unlimited plan with 3 GB of full speed data per day gives far more room.
Is there one eSIM for French Polynesia and other Pacific islands?
The plans on this page are for French Polynesia only, and no regional plan in our catalogue is listed as covering it. If your trip includes other Pacific countries, you will need a separate plan for each one, installed as its own eSIM.
Should I install the eSIM before flying to Tahiti?
Yes, install the French Polynesia eSIM at home, where you have WiFi and time. The plan does not start when you install it. Its days are counted from the first connection to the local network, so you arrive with everything ready.
Can my home SIM stay active next to the eSIM?
Yes, your home SIM stays active beside the French Polynesia eSIM. Choose the eSIM for mobile data and leave the home line for calls and texts. Switch data roaming off on the home line, or your own carrier may bill you for data on top of this plan.
Why is my data slow in French Polynesia?
On an unlimited plan in French Polynesia, speed drops to up to 1 Mbps once you have used that day's full speed amount of 1 GB or 3 GB. It returns to normal the next day. Slow data can also come from weak signal, which varies from island to island.
How do I contact support from French Polynesia?
Support is by email, seven days a week. Write from the address you ordered with, and say which French Polynesia plan you bought and what the phone shows. Send the message over WiFi if the eSIM itself is the thing not working.
How do I top up if I run low?
Open My eSIMs, pick this eSIM and choose a top up. It goes onto the same eSIM, so there is no new QR code to scan.
