Bought the wrong plan? An unused, never-activated eSIM can be refunded in full within 30 days of purchase. See our refund policy for the full terms.
Fixed data plans give you a set amount of data, for example 1 GB or 5 GB, to use at full speed for the whole plan period. When it runs out, you top up or buy again. Pick this if you know roughly how much you'll use.
Unlimited plans have no total data cap for the plan period, but each day includes a high-speed allowance. Once you use that day's allowance, you carry on at a reduced speed. Reduced-speed data has a daily limit too, and if you reach it, data pauses until the allowance resets 24 hours after you activate the eSIM. Pick this for heavier or less predictable use. A fair-use policy applies.
Pay As You Go is not a plan at all. You add credit once and it comes off by the megabyte at the local rate as you use it, so you never pay for data you do not finish. Credit never expires, data pauses when the balance hits zero, and the same eSIM keeps working across every country we cover. It costs more per gigabyte than a plan, so pick this for light or hard to predict use rather than heavy days.
Papua New Guinea has three mobile operators: Digicel, Telikom and Vodafone PNG. Researchers writing for ANU's Development Policy Centre note Digicel's strong network coverage, and in some populated parts of the country it is the only network you'll find.
Domestic flights in PNG are often delayed or cancelled, UK travel advice warns, and the November to May monsoon brings flooding and landslide risk in rural areas. Leave a spare day before any international connection.
Several volcanoes stay active, including Ulawun on New Britain, Bagana on Bougainville and the one on Manam Island, and past eruptions have cancelled flights and forced evacuations. Check with your airline and local authorities before travelling to these areas.
Police numbers differ: UK advice lists 112, while Canada's travel advice gives 000 for Port Moresby and says the rest of the country has no central emergency number.
Pick a row, watch the phone.
Everything you need to know before you buy.
Your Papua New Guinea eSIM roams onto tier-1 local partner networks, connecting automatically to the strongest available signal — with no roaming setup beyond turning the eSIM on.

Zwitchy has no Palau plan yet, so here's the local option: PNCC's $35 Visitor eSIM, plus a dive-trip data budget and where the signal drops out.

Guam has LTE island-wide and 5G in Tumon Bay and Hagåtña, but your US plan may not cover it. How much data a trip needs, and why an eSIM beats roaming.

A New Zealand eSIM on One NZ (formerly Vodafone): how much data, which plan, where signal stops in Fiordland, satellite texting, and one eSIM for Australia too.
