“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.”

Samoa Travel eSIM FAQ

Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Samoa

How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Samoa, and how many prepaid data plans are there?

There are over 100 travel eSIM providers and more than 1200 prepaid data plans available for use in Samoa, offering a wide variety of options so travelers can easily find an eSIM that suits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Samoa?

Yes, several eSIM providers offer unlimited data plans that cover Samoa. Roamify offers an unlimited data option valid for 3 to 10 days, priced between $22.00 and $55.00 USD; plans may allow tethering but speeds can be throttled.

The available price range for these unlimited options spans from roughly $22 to $570 USD.

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?

Travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS capability are available for Samoa. Two providers offer such plans: GlobaleSIM and Orange Travel. GlobaleSIM’s plans use the Samoa dialing code +1, so the phone number is local to Samoa, and the plans provide inbound voice calls and inbound SMS (with outbound SMS also supported). Orange Travel provides eSIMs with the French dialing code +33; the numbers are therefore not local to Samoa but still support inbound and outbound voice and SMS. Prices for these plans start around $6.00 USD for a 1GB 7‑day package and can go up to roughly $67.00 USD for a 20GB 30‑day package, with validity ranges from 7 days to 30 days.
