Coverage & network in Hawaii
Hawaii has its own page for a practical reason: the plans listed here are the ones whose coverage names Hawaii explicitly — no guessing about whether a mainland plan reaches the islands. In network terms it’s the United States, with 5G in Honolulu and the main towns.
If you’re visiting the mainland too, start from the United States plan page — many plans cover both. This page is for a Hawaii-only trip, or for double-checking that the plan you pick really includes the islands.
Coverage: good across Oʻahu, Maui, Kauaʻi and Hawaiʻi Island in the towns, along the highways and at the resorts. The gaps are what you’d expect: long unserved stretches on the Road to Hāna, the Haleakalā and Volcanoes backcountry, the Nāpali coast, and anything more than a few miles offshore. Download offline maps for each island before you set off.
Continuing onward? The North America plan covers the US, Canada and Mexico on one profile.
How to install it
- 1
Buy in a minute
Pick a Hawaii plan and pay. Your QR code arrives by email within minutes — no account, no shipping.
- 2
Install on Wi-Fi
Scan the code before you fly. The profile sits alongside your normal SIM and stays switched off until you need it.
- 3
Land connected
Turn on data roaming for the TravelNet line when you arrive. The plan starts counting down on that first connection, not at checkout.
Will my phone work?
You need an eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked phone: an iPhone XS or newer, a Pixel 3 or
newer, or a recent Samsung Galaxy S, Z or A-series flagship. Dial *#06# — if
an EID number is listed alongside the IMEI, the phone has an eSIM.

Hawaii eSIM questions
Isn't Hawaii covered by a United States plan?
Often, yes — Hawaii is a US state on US networks. This page lists the plans whose coverage explicitly names Hawaii, so there's no guessing. If you're visiting the mainland as well, the United States plan page is the place to start; this page is for a Hawaii-only trip.
Which network does it use?
A major US network with coverage across all four main islands — Oʻahu, Maui, Kauaʻi and Hawaiʻi Island — including 5G in Honolulu and the larger towns. The profile attaches to the strongest partner where you are.
Why do Hawaii plans list other countries too?
Because they're multi-country profiles that name Hawaii in their coverage explicitly. The allowance works across everything on the plan's list — Hawaii included — which suits the trips that pair the islands with the mainland, Japan or the Pacific rim.
Will I have signal on the Road to Hāna and in the national parks?
Along the Road to Hāna, patchily — there are long stretches through the rainforest with nothing, which is arguably the point. Haleakalā has coverage at the summit visitor area and little on the trails. Volcanoes National Park has service near the visitor centre and the Kīlauea overlooks, and none in the backcountry or along the Chain of Craters road.
How much data do I need for a week in Hawaii?
A small plan covers a week — hotel and condo Wi-Fi is widely available and most of what you'll use data for is maps, weather, surf reports and photos. Two weeks, or hotspotting, wants a size up.
Is inter-island travel covered?
Yes — one plan works across all the islands. Flights between them are short enough that you'll be back on the ground before it matters.
Can I make calls?
Not over the cellular network — it's data-only. Worth planning around in the US, where rental car desks, activity operators and restaurants all default to texting a local number. Keep your home line active for SMS and use WhatsApp or FaceTime over the data.
Do I need to register it?
No. US prepaid SIMs sometimes want a local address, which visitors don't have. A roaming eSIM needs nothing.
Can I tether?
Yes. Useful on the Big Island, where accommodation Wi-Fi outside the resort areas can be slow.
Will it work on a snorkel or whale-watching boat?
Close to shore, yes. A few miles out, no — that's open ocean with no towers. Download anything you want to listen to before you board.
What about Molokaʻi and Lānaʻi?
Coverage exists in the settled areas and along the main roads, and thins quickly elsewhere. Both islands are small and quiet by design; treat connectivity as partial and download offline maps.
