Tonga travel data guide
A Tonga eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Tonga that you install before you fly. Plans in Tonga 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 11 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 20 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $6.99. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on some of the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Visiting more than one country? The Oceania eSIM covers Tonga and 7 other countries on one plan, from $5.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Tonga, 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. Travel data in Tonga from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Tonga FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Tonga?
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 Tonga, not at purchase. The plan selected above (2 GB) runs for 1 day 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 Tonga?
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.
Is there an unlimited data eSIM for Tonga?
No, there is no unlimited plan for Tonga. The 11 plans are all fixed, from 1 GB to 20 GB. The largest for a single day is 10 GB, and the largest for a month is 20 GB over 30 days.
Which network will my phone use in Tonga?
Your phone will use Digicel in Tonga. It is the only operator on these plans and is listed as 4G in our catalogue, while the plans are labelled 3G/4G/5G. No second network is available on this eSIM.
Is 3 GB enough for two weeks in Tonga?
3 GB over 15 days is enough for two weeks in Tonga if you keep to messaging, maps, email and a few photo uploads. It will not stretch to regular video. If you expect that, take a 30 day plan with 10 GB or 20 GB instead.
When do the days start on a Tonga plan?
The days start when the eSIM first connects to the network in Tonga. They do not start when you buy or install it. For a 1 day plan this matters, because the day begins the moment the phone connects.
Can I install the Tonga eSIM while at sea?
Only if you have an internet connection on board to download it. It is much easier to install the Tonga eSIM at home before the voyage. Once installed, it waits on the phone until it finds the local network.
What happens when my Tonga data runs out?
When a Tonga plan runs out, mobile data stops. If your plan supports top up, add data to the same eSIM. If it does not, buy another plan and install it over WiFi. There is no slower unlimited mode to carry you through.
Can I hotspot from the Tonga eSIM?
Yes, hotspot is allowed on every Tonga plan. Everything a connected laptop or tablet uses comes out of your fixed amount. Turn off automatic updates and cloud backups on those devices first, or they can drain a small plan quickly.
How do I top up if I run low?
The plan selected above does not offer top ups. Buy a new plan from this page instead and install it as a second eSIM.
