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.
There are more than 70 travel eSIM brands (providers) available for use in Fiji, and there are over 700 prepaid data plans. With such a large selection, travelers will find a wide variety of options, making it easy to choose an eSIM that suits their needs.
Unlimited data eSIM plans are offered for Fiji by several providers. Roamify provides unlimited data for 1‑to‑30‑day validity periods, with prices ranging from $7.50 up to $180.00, and the plan allows tethering but may include speed throttling. Yesim also offers an unlimited plan valid for 1‑to‑30 days; prices run from $9.32 to $93.21, and the plan supports tethering and may experience speed throttling. Truely similarly offers unlimited data for 1‑to‑30 days, priced between $11.12 and $197.66, with tethering permitted and potential speed throttling. Overall, the available unlimited data plans span a price range from $7.50 to $197.66.
