Coverage & network in Réunion
Réunion is straightforward for eSIM travellers — the profile attaches to whichever partner network is strongest where you’re standing, and the plan runs on the phone already in your pocket.
Plan sizes on this page run from short-stay allowances to remote-work territory. Count 100–200 MB a day for maps and messaging, and 1 GB an hour once video is involved.
Expect 4G/LTE rather than 5G in Réunion. That is plenty for maps, messaging, ride-hailing and streaming, and it is the technology with the widest footprint outside the main towns. Tethering is allowed on every Réunion plan, so a laptop or a travelling companion can share the connection.
Crossing borders on the same trip? The Africa plan covers much of the region on one profile. Otherwise there are separate plans for Ghana, Guinea-Bissau and Kenya.
How to install it
- 1
Buy in a minute
Pick a Réunion 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.

Réunion eSIM questions
Which network does the Réunion eSIM use?
We don't publish a single operator name for Réunion, because the profile can attach to more than one partner network and picks whichever is strongest where you are. In practice that means you get the best available signal rather than being locked to one operator's weak spots.
Will I get 5G in Réunion?
No. Réunion plans run on 4G/LTE, which is what the networks cover reliably. For maps, messaging, calls over data and streaming the difference is not something you'll notice.
How much data do I actually need for Réunion?
Most travellers over-buy. Maps and messaging for a week is under 2 GB; streaming and video calls are what move the number. Start small and top up if you run short.
When does my Réunion plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Réunion, not when you buy it. Install it at home a day or two before you fly — the validity period on the plan you choose runs from arrival, not from checkout.
Can I use my Réunion eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. Tethering is enabled on every Réunion plan, so you can share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or someone travelling with you. Hotspot data comes out of the same allowance.
Can I keep my own phone number while I'm in Réunion?
Yes — that's the main reason to use an eSIM rather than a local SIM. Your home line stays active for calls, SMS and two-factor codes; the Réunion eSIM sits alongside it as a data-only line. Leave data roaming off for your home line to avoid a surprise bill.
Do I need to register or show a passport to use a Réunion eSIM?
No. The plan roams on partner networks, so there's no local SIM registration, no ID upload and no shop visit. You buy it, scan the QR code, and it works on arrival.
What happens if I run out of data in Réunion?
You can buy another Réunion plan from the same page and install it the same way. Plans marked as top-up capable can also be extended without a new QR code.
I'm also visiting Ghana and Guinea-Bissau — do I need separate eSIMs?
Not necessarily. The Africa plan covers much of the region including Réunion on a single profile. If Réunion is the bulk of the trip, a country plan is usually the better buy; if you're crossing several borders, the regional plan wins.
Will my phone work with a Réunion eSIM?
If it's an iPhone XS or newer, a Pixel 3 or newer, or a recent Samsung Galaxy S, Z or A-series flagship, almost certainly — and it must be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# and look for an EID number: if one is listed, the phone has an eSIM. Our compatibility list has the full set.
