“Esim did not work. My friend had the same experience with a different phone. Communication with helpdesk is difficult. After 10 emails and lots of screenshots and following all kinds of instructions the problem is still not fixed. They keep on asking screenshots of screens I already shared and refuse to refund.

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

Travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS for Vanuatu are available from several providers. The options listed in the data include GlobaleSIM, LineCast Networks, Orange Travel, and Global Starlink. All of these plans use telephone numbers with dialing codes that do not match Vanuatu’s own dialing code; the numbers are foreign, with code +1 for GlobaleSIM and code +33 for the other three providers. Telephony features vary slightly: GlobaleSIM plans provide inbound and outbound voice calls and inbound SMS only, while the LineCast, Orange Travel, and Global Starlink plans support both inbound and outbound voice calls as well as inbound and outbound SMS. Prices start around $17.00 USD for a 1GB 7‑day GlobaleSIM plan and rise to $140.00 USD for a 10GB 30‑day GlobaleSIM plan, with validity periods ranging from 7 days to 31 days.

Because the phone numbers are not local to Vanuatu, travelers may need to verify how the foreign dialing code works for local services on the island. These plans allow data usage, tethering, and VoIP applications, and if local telephony integration is required, users should confirm compatibility beforehand.
