Questions people ask about Espiritu Santo

Is there mobile signal at Espiritu Santo?

Strong around Luganville and weaker on remote beaches and in forest; a 2021 report noted a west-coast Vodafone outage after a lightning strike.

How much does an eSIM for Vanuatu cost?

On 4 Nov 2026, Vanuatu plans started at $4.69 and went up to $53.49 for the biggest. The shop always shows today’s price, and the price on the pay button is the price you pay.

Which network works well in Vanuatu?

Digicel and TVL cover almost all of Vanuatu, but reception can drop in and out in remote areas and may be unavailable on outer islands. A dual-SIM phone can help on remote islands.

Why does my eSIM show another carrier’s name?

Many travel eSIMs are issued by one carrier and roam on local networks, so your phone can show the issuing carrier’s name while your data runs on a local network. Keep data roaming on for the eSIM.

Will it work on my phone?

Dial *#06# on the phone you’re taking. If you see an EID number, it takes an eSIM. Every iPhone from the XR and XS on does, and the SE from 2020, as do Google Pixel 3 and later and Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. The phone must be carrier-unlocked. Not sure? Text PHONE and your model and we’ll check.

When do I install it?

At home, on wifi, before you fly. Then switch it on when you land. Tell us your landing day and we text you the switch-on steps that morning.

Does it come with a phone number?

No. It’s a data-only eSIM. WhatsApp, LINE, iMessage and FaceTime all work over it, and your home number can stay on for calls and codes.

What if it doesn’t work?

If we can’t issue your eSIM, we refund you in full. If it won’t install or connect, text us and we help you get connected.
