Can anyone advise how easy/difficult/costs involved in purchasing a Tongan SIM card while over there? Any replies, greatly appreciated. Thanks

Couldn't tell you costs, but they were fairly cheap and a far better option than using international roaming when I was there in 2006. I expect that availability should have improved since then!

Not difficult at all, just go to a Digicel shop at the capital (don't quite remember if there was one at the airport too) and buy one. Don't expect 3G, just talk/text.
