# Fiji - money and internet data sim card Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Fiji
jirikoo 15:09 UTC 15 Apr 2018 | After long years, I am heading back to visit Fiji and Samoa. Could anybody please enlighten me on some of the issues that worry me and that I have not got to deal with before? In Fiji: a) I guess I would love to diverse my financial resources...as I do not have access to AUD or even FJD, is it okay to bring USD dollars ? If so, is it worth exchanging them at the airport or shall I wait to exchange them somewhere in Nadi? b) I intend to purchase a sim card with internet data. Any tips on the operator I should to zero in on? I would prefer to complete that all at the airport - is it possible? Thank you millions, jirikoo |
TeresiaLee 07:46 UTC 16 Apr 2018 | a) I would not use American $. You could withdraw $Fj from your account at an ATM (plenty in Nadi) or withdraw from an ATM with travel card e.g. Qantas Card or 28 degrees b) I would get a Vodafone SIM (not Digicel). I found better reception with Vodafone Ask about best days to top up when you buy the SIM. They usually give best deals on Thursdays I recall. | 1
jbinternational 09:04 UTC 16 Apr 2018 | you can get your sim card at the Nadi airport and there are atms at the airport as well. they are just at the exit gate. You will have your bags x-rayed whether you have things to declare or not. make sure you don't have dirt on any shoes you have | 2
