Why RoamZivo for Samoa
Skip the rental counter
No pocket Wi-Fi or SIM counter to find when you land in Samoa, and nothing to return before you fly home. The eSIM is installed before you leave.
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.

Samoa travel data guide
A Samoa eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Samoa that you install before you fly. Plans in Samoa run on Digicel, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 14 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 10 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $5.99. 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.
Visiting more than one country? The Oceania eSIM covers Samoa and 7 other countries on one plan, from $5.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Samoa, 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 Samoa from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Samoa FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Samoa?
It connects wherever Digicel 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 Samoa, 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 Samoa?
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 Samoa eSIM use?
The Samoa eSIM uses Digicel, listed as 4G on our plans. Plan cards are labelled 3G/4G or 4G/5G. There is a single network on these plans and the phone connects to it automatically.
Is there a plan for a one day stop in Samoa?
Yes. For one day in Samoa you can buy 1 GB valid for 1 day, or a 1 day unlimited plan with 1 GB or 2 GB at full speed. All three allow hotspot.
Do I get a Samoan phone number?
No, the Samoa eSIM is data only. It has no number and can't be used for normal calls or SMS. Your own SIM stays in the phone for those.
When does my Samoa plan start?
It starts at the first connection to a network in Samoa. Paying for it or installing it doesn't start the count, so do both before you travel.
Do I need to switch on data roaming?
Yes, for the Samoa eSIM line only. Travel eSIMs need data roaming enabled on their own line to connect. Keep it switched off on your home SIM so your carrier doesn't charge you for data.
What happens once I pass the daily amount on unlimited?
The plan slows to up to 1 Mbps for the rest of the day in Samoa. The daily amount is 1 GB or 2 GB depending on your plan. Full speed returns the next day.
Can I top up or use hotspot in Samoa?
Hotspot is allowed on every Samoa plan. Top up is offered on some plans and not on others, so check the plan card before buying if you may want to add data.
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.
