A Samoa eSIM is a virtual SIM card that connects you instantly to Samoan mobile networks (Digicel Samoa, Bluesky) without a physical card. Plans start at ~$6 for 1 GB, up to ~$60 for unlimited.
Do you really need an eSIM? Samoa does not benefit from free EU roaming. To avoid expensive charges from your home carrier, an eSIM is the economical solution. 4G coverage is limited but sufficient for main tourist areas.

Unlike European countries, Samoa does not benefit from free EU roaming. Your home plan will be expensive: between $2 and $5 per MB depending on your carrier. For a one-week trip with moderate usage (browsing, social media), you can easily spend $50 to $100 on roaming.
eSIMs for Samoa are generally more expensive (~$6 for 1 GB vs ~$3 in mainland France) because:
An eSIM remains much more economical than home roaming.
Free WiFi is available in some hotels and restaurants in Apia, but it has risks:
An eSIM offers secure and reliable connectivity everywhere in Samoa, even in remote areas and on beaches.
Samoa has limited 4G coverage (70%+) mainly in urban areas thanks to two carriers:
| Carrier | Coverage | 5G | Market Share | Used by |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Digicel Samoa | 70%+ | No | 60% (leader) | Airalo, Holafly |
| Bluesky | 65%+ | No | 40% | Saily, Ubigi |
Note: Coverage is good in urban areas (Apia) and main tourist areas, but may be limited in rural areas and on remote islands. 5G is not yet available.
Important: Coverage is better on Upolu island (where Apia is located) than on Savai'i. Plan for an eSIM with sufficient data if you visit Savai'i or rural areas.
Compatibility: iPhone XS+, Samsung S20+, Pixel 3+, Xiaomi 12+, OnePlus 8+
Tip: As prices are higher than in mainland France and coverage is limited, choose a plan with sufficient data to avoid surprises.
