“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.”

Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Samoa

There are roughly 160 travel eSIM providers and about 3400 prepaid data plans available for Samoa, giving travelers a wide variety of options to choose from.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Samoa?

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Samoa?

Samoa's mobile network infrastructure is primarily supported by two major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs):

Digicel Samoa: A leading telecommunications provider offering extensive mobile voice and data services, including 2G, 3G, and 4G networks.
Vodafone Samoa: Formerly known as BlueSky Samoa, this operator provides comprehensive mobile services with widespread coverage across the islands.

Currently, there are no significant Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) operating in Samoa. MVNOs typically offer mobile services by leasing access from major carriers; however, in Samoa, the market is predominantly served directly by the primary MNOs. Consequently, most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure provided by these main operators.

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

Yes, GlobaleSIM offers travel eSIM plans for Samoa that include a local phone number and inbound SMS capability. The dialing code is +1, which matches Samoa’s code, so the number is local.
