“Wasted so much time trying to get their plan to work, just to save a few bucks (lesson learned).

I purchased a plan that was meant to work across Oceania for 30 days. Firstly I arrived in Vanuatu, it wouldn't connect at all. I reached out to them, they helped me out to connect, but even after that the connectivity would be randomly lost for up to a day at a time... Then went on to Fiji - it was fine. Now in Samoa, again - no internet whatsoever, this time I reached out to the support, but haven't heard back in 3 days, plan is about to expire anyway.

Do yourself a favour and stick to a more reputable eSIM provider.”

“The setup was fast and smooth and the eSIM worked from the moment I landed in Fiji.

The issue I have is that it was constantly limited to 3G speeds. Even then, although the cellular signal was at full strength, web pages would take aaaaaaages to load or sometimes not load at all.

I reached out to their support team, but it seems the service is limited because it is an eSIM. My mother purchased a physical SIM card from the same local telco that I was using (Digicel) and she got a much better deal (165GBs) with fast LTE speeds at about the same price that I paid for 5GB at 3G speeds.

I understand that the infrastructure here is limited and eSIMs might be a newer technology that needs time to be developed; but I would have appreciated a heads-up when I was purchasing the eSIM so I would’ve at least known I’d only get 3G speeds.

My two cents - if you can wait to buy an eSIM at the airport when you land, please do. They have much better data bundles for tourists.”

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Fiji?

Travel eSIM plans that provide a phone number and SMS service for Fiji are available from several providers. Among the cheapest options are GlobaleSIM, ESIM.DOG, JamboSim, Roamify, Orange Travel and RedEx eSIM, with other vendors also offering similar services. Most of these plans use the +1 dialing code, which is not the local code for Fiji, so the number will be a foreign one. Only RedEx eSIM issues a local +679 number, giving a truly Fijian mobile identity; all other plans allow inbound and outbound voice calls and SMS, though some restrict outbound messaging or voice to outbound only.

Prices for the available Fiji‑focused eSIMs start around $6 for a 1‑GB, 7‑day pack and rise to roughly $125 for a 20‑GB, 365‑day service. Validity periods range from 7 days up to a full year. Travelers can choose the plan that best fits their data needs and budget, and if a local phone number is essential, RedEx eSIM is the sole provider that supplies a true +679 number. As always, it is wise to confirm that the desired messaging and VoIP applications work in Fiji before purchasing.
