Why an eSIM is Essential for the Solomon Islands

No Free EU Roaming

Unlike European countries, the Solomon Islands do 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.

Very Limited Free WiFi

Free WiFi is very limited in Solomon Islands hotels and resorts, especially on outer islands:

Availability: very limited outside Honiara and main tourist areas
Security: unsecured public networks, hacking risks
Reliability: unstable connections, frequent dropouts
Mobility: impossible to use while traveling (island hopping, diving, remote areas)

An eSIM offers secure and reliable connectivity everywhere, essential for traveling in the Solomon Islands, especially for diving and island hopping.

Network Coverage in the Solomon Islands

The Solomon Islands have limited 4G coverage (55%) on main islands thanks to two major carriers:

Carrier	Coverage	4G	Market Share	Used by
Our Telekom	55%	Yes	60% (leader)	Airalo, Holafly
Bmobile	50%	Yes	40%	GoMoWorld, Saily

Coverage by destination

Guadalcanal (Honiara): moderate 4G coverage in the capital
Honiara: moderate coverage in the city
Malaita: limited coverage, mostly 3G
Western Province: very limited coverage, variable by island
Isabel Province: very limited coverage
Outer islands: very limited or no coverage
