Vanuatu travel data guide
A Vanuatu eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Vanuatu that you install before you fly. Plans in Vanuatu run on Digicel, on 3G/4G. 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. 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 Vanuatu and 7 other countries on one plan, from $5.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Vanuatu, 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 Vanuatu from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Vanuatu FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Vanuatu?
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 Vanuatu, not at purchase. The plan selected above (3 GB) runs for 30 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 Vanuatu?
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 3 GB enough for two weeks in Vanuatu?
3 GB is enough for two weeks in Vanuatu if you use resort WiFi for uploads and mobile data for maps and messages. If you find you are using more, every Vanuatu plan can be topped up, so you are not stuck with your first choice.
What network speed should I expect in Vanuatu?
Expect 4G at best in Vanuatu. The plans are labelled 3G/4G and the operator, Digicel, is listed as 4G. Where 4G is unavailable the phone may drop to 3G, which is slower for photos and video.
Is there a multi day unlimited plan for Vanuatu?
No, the unlimited plans for Vanuatu are listed for 1 day only. They include 1 GB, 2 GB, 3 GB, 5 GB or 10 GB at full speed for that day. For longer stays, use a fixed plan and top up when needed.
When does my Vanuatu plan begin?
It begins when the eSIM first connects to a network in Vanuatu. Buying and installing do not begin it. This is most important for the 1 day plans, so keep the eSIM line switched off until you arrive.
I am arriving by cruise ship. When should I install?
Install before the cruise, at home over WiFi. Ship internet is not a good place to download an eSIM. Keep the line off while at sea and switch it on when you go ashore in Vanuatu, which is when the plan starts.
How do I add more data in Vanuatu?
You order a top up for the eSIM you already have, and the data is added to the same line. Nothing is reinstalled. You need to be online to order, so do it while you still have some data or a WiFi connection.
Can I share my connection with family?
Yes, hotspot is allowed on all Vanuatu plans. Shared data comes out of your plan total, so with a 1 GB plan it will go quickly. For a family sharing one eSIM, start with a larger plan.
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.
