Which mobile networks does Vanuatu have?
ITU figures put 4G coverage at 90 percent of the population at the end of 2023, but the good 3G and 4G is concentrated on Efate, Espiritu Santo, Malakula and Erromango. Many outer islands get 2G at best.
- Digicel Vanuatu: The dominant operator, owned by Telstra since 2022, with the widest coverage and a commitment under its Universal Access Undertaking to reach 99 percent of the population.
- Vodafone Vanuatu: Formerly Telecom Vanuatu Limited, covering the major islands including Efate, Santo, Tanna and Malekula.

Is 5G available in Vanuatu?
No operator advertises 5G in Vanuatu. 4G on the main islands is the top network tier.
How much data do you need in Vanuatu?
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 Vanuatu right now:
eSIM or a local SIM at the airport in Vanuatu?
An eSIM is ready before you land. No queue, no shop, no handing over your passport at a counter. Data for Vanuatu starts at $28.00 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 Vanuatu eSIM
Buy your planYou get a QR code by email within minutes of paying.
Install before you flyScan the QR code on wifi at home. Airport and hotel wifi can be weak.
Turn it on when you landEnable the eSIM and turn on data roaming for it, then give it a minute to find the network.
Check the validity clockSome plans start counting at purchase, not at first use. Check before you buy.
Good to know before you land in Vanuatu
Present your passport when buying a SIM so it can be registered in your name.
Digicel and Vodafone both have kiosks at Bauerfield International Airport in Port Vila selling SIMs from about 200 to 250 vatu.
Vanuatu spreads across more than 80 islands over 1,300 kilometres, so coverage drops fast once you leave Efate and Santo. On remote islands expect 2G or no signal, and note that resorts and yachts increasingly lean on Starlink for data.
Vanuatu Travel eSIM FAQ
Everything you need to know about using an eSIM in Vanuatu
What is the cheapest eSIM for Vanuatu?
Right now the cheapest option ranked by price per GB is MegaEsim with 10 GB for 1 Day at $28.00. That works out to $2.80 per GB. Prices change often, so the table above always shows the current order.
Which networks will my eSIM connect to in Vanuatu?
The plans we compare connect to Digicel. The exact network depends on the plan you pick. Check the plan details before you buy if one network matters to you.
Do Vanuatu eSIMs support 5G?
The networks our plans use in Vanuatu currently run on 4G. That is enough for maps, messaging, video calls, and streaming in most cases.
Can I top up my Vanuatu eSIM if I run out?
Yes. 11 of the 11 plans here support top ups, so you can add data without buying a new eSIM. The rest need a fresh plan once the data ends.
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.
How many GB do I need for a week in Vanuatu?
Around 3 to 5 GB covers a week of maps, messaging, and normal browsing. Heavy video or hotspot use needs 1 to 2 GB per day. Today the cheapest plan with at least 5 GB is MegaEsim at $15.08.
