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.
Currently, over sixty travel eSIM brands offer service in Fiji, with a selection of over six hundred prepaid data plans available to travelers. This represents a wide variety of options, making it easy to find an eSIM that suits individual travel requirements and data needs.
Currently, several providers offer unlimited data eSIM plans for Fiji. Firsty provides an unlimited plan with a speed limit of 256kbps and may include advertisements. Truely also offers a range of unlimited data plans, with prices generally falling between $11.12 and $197.66 USD depending on the validity period (from 1 to 30 days), though these plans may be subject to speed throttling. Travelers should consider these limitations when selecting a plan based on their data needs.
