Which mobile networks does American Samoa have?
Almost all of Tutuila, the main island, is covered. The Manua Islands and the more remote settlements are thinner, and the interior of the national park is not covered at all.
- Bluesky Communications: Bluesky, trading name of AST Telecom, has run American Samoa's mobile network since 1999 and is effectively the only GSM operator in the territory.
One network carries the territory. A travel eSIM that works here is roaming onto Bluesky.
Is 5G available in American Samoa?
Expect 4G. This is a small single operator market and 5G is not the reason to pick a plan.
How much data do you need in American Samoa?
Light use is about 500 MB a day. That covers maps, messages, and some browsing. Normal use with photos, social apps, and short videos runs 1 to 1.5 GB a day. Streaming and hotspot use can eat 2 to 3 GB a day. Here is what each size costs in American Samoa right now:
eSIM or a local SIM at the airport in American Samoa?
An eSIM is ready before you land. No queue, no shop, no handing over your passport at a counter. Data for American Samoa starts at $75.00 on this page, which is hard for airport kiosks to beat. A local SIM still makes sense if you need a local phone number or plan to stay for months. For a normal trip, the eSIM wins on price and effort.
Setting up your American Samoa eSIM
Pick the plan, not the brandThe cheapest rate in American Samoa today is $75.00 per GB from Nomad, against a median of $75.00. The QR code arrives by email within minutes of paying.
Install before you flyScan the QR code on wifi at home. Installation needs a connection, and the one thing you will not have when you land in American Samoa is a working connection.
Turn it on when you landEnable the eSIM and turn on data roaming for it, then give it a minute to find the network. Expect 4G.
Know what happens when it runs outNone of the plans here support top ups, so a plan that runs dry has to be replaced.
Good to know before you land in American Samoa
American Samoa is a United States territory, but it is a separate country for roaming on many plans, and it is not the same as independent Samoa next door. A plan naming one does not name the other, which is the mistake to avoid if your trip includes both.
Pago Pago International is the gateway, with connections mainly through Honolulu and Samoa. Because this is a United States territory, check what your American plan already includes before buying anything.
If you are hiking in the National Park of American Samoa or taking the boat to Ofu, treat those days as offline and download the maps first.

Everything you need to know about using an eSIM in American Samoa

Right now the cheapest option ranked by price per GB is Nomad with 1 GB for 7 Days at $75.00. That works out to $75.00 per GB. Prices change often, so the table above always shows the current order.
Do American Samoa eSIMs support 5G?
The networks our plans use in American Samoa currently run on 4G. That is enough for maps, messaging, video calls, and streaming in most cases.
Can I top up my American Samoa eSIM if I run out?
Most plans here need a fresh purchase once the data runs out. Buying a slightly bigger plan up front is usually cheaper than buying twice.
Will I still receive bank SMS and OTP codes?
Yes, if you keep your home SIM active. Travel eSIMs are data only. Your phone can hold both at once, so leave your normal SIM on for SMS and use the eSIM for data. Turn off roaming data on the home SIM to avoid charges.
Do these eSIMs include a phone number or calls?
The plans we compare are data only, so there is no local number. Calls work fine over WhatsApp, FaceTime, or any app that uses data. If you need a real local number, a local SIM is the better tool.
