Global Pre Paid Sim Card for South Pacific

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea

Hi everyone

Im going to spend 4 or so months in the south pacific as well as south east asia. Just wondering if anyone has advice on a good global pre paid sim card i can buy for the area?

Ive seen ads for One Sim and Go Sim, but wondering if anyone has any experience or words of wisdom

Cheers

Jules

There is probably nothing that will work in all ocuntries, so it depends where you are going. Telstra (Australia) global roaming is supposed to work in Solomon Islands, and probably most other Pacific countries, especiall the Anglophone ones. However, it is expensive. You might be better buying a local SIM wherever you are going.
Many South Pacific countries only have one or two networks, and little reciprocit with other systems.
