A Tuvalu eSIM is a virtual SIM card that connects you instantly to Tuvaluan mobile networks (TTC) without a physical card. Plans start at ~$7 for 1 GB, up to $47 for unlimited.
Do you really need an eSIM? Tuvalu does not benefit from free EU roaming. To avoid expensive charges from your home carrier, an eSIM is the economical solution. Free WiFi is very limited in hotels and resorts, so an eSIM is essential for reliable connectivity.

Unlike European countries, Tuvalu 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.
Free WiFi is very limited in Tuvaluan hotels and resorts:
An eSIM offers secure and reliable connectivity everywhere, essential for traveling in Tuvalu, especially for exploring the outer islands.
Tuvalu has limited 4G coverage (50%) thanks to one major carrier:
| Carrier | Coverage | 4G | Market Share | Used by |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TTC (Tuvalu Telecommunications Corporation) | 50% | Yes | 100% (monopoly) | Airalo, Holafly |
Note: Coverage is limited due to the small size of the islands and satellite dependency. Network quality can be affected by weather conditions. Coverage is better on Funafuti (capital) than on outer islands.
Compatibility: iPhone XS+, Samsung S20+, Pixel 3+, Xiaomi 12+, OnePlus 8+
