Devices that support eSIMs
With an eSIM Reunion plan from eSIM Prime, you get mobile data on the island without hunting for a shop or swapping your physical SIM. You buy online, and the QR code arrives by email within minutes. Install it at home, and your data is ready when you land at the airport. Your phone connects to a local network on arrival, so you can open maps, message your host and book a taxi straight away. Your usual number stays on your phone for calls and texts. This is a data-only travel eSIM for Reunion, designed for hikers, beach travellers and anyone exploring the island by car.
Why choose this eSIM Reunion plan for your trip
Reunion is a destination where you will rely on your phone for navigation, weather updates and trail information. A reunion esim removes the usual friction of arriving abroad. Here is what you get:
- Instant activation: the QR code is delivered by email right after purchase, so you can install your esim réunion profile the same day or weeks before departure.
- Keep your number and WhatsApp: your main SIM stays in the phone, so banking codes and calls to your usual number still reach you, and WhatsApp keeps working.
- No roaming surprises: you pay for a fixed data bundle upfront, so there are no bill shocks when you get home.
- Hotspot and tethering: share your connection with a laptop or a travel partner's phone when you need to work or plan the next day.
- 24/7 support: if you have trouble installing or connecting, our team can help at any hour.
- Easy top-up: running low in the middle of your trip? Add a new plan instead of searching for a shop.
It works as a simple prepaid reunion esim: you choose a bundle, use it, and nothing renews automatically.
Plans
We offer five bundles, so you can match the data to the length of your stay. Prices are displayed in your own currency on the product page.
| Plan | Data | Validity |
|---|---|---|
| Reunion 1GB 7Days | 1 GB | 7 days |
| Reunion 3GB 15Days | 3 GB | 15 days |
| Reunion 5GB 30Days | 5 GB | 30 days |
| Reunion 10GB 30Days | 10 GB | 30 days |
| Reunion 20GB 30Days | 20 GB | 30 days |
Short trips: the 1 GB plan for 7 days is enough for a long weekend or a quick visit. You can handle maps, messages and a bit of browsing.
One to two weeks: the 3 GB plan for 15 days suits a typical holiday. If you also upload photos or take video calls, the 5 GB plan gives you more room.
Long stays and heavy users: choose 10 GB or 20 GB if you work remotely, stream often or share your connection with others.
Coverage and speed in Reunion
Your esim reunion island plan connects to local partner networks, with 4G/5G where available. In and around Saint-Denis, Saint-Pierre, Saint-Paul and the west coast resorts such as Saint-Gilles-les-Bains, you can generally expect the most reliable service. Larger towns and main coastal roads are the best-served areas.
The interior of the island is more varied. In the cirques of Salazie, Cilaos and Mafate, and around Piton de la Fournaise, the mountains and deep valleys can limit the signal. Speeds also depend on your location, the time of day and how busy the network is.
A few tips for rural areas:
- Download offline maps and trail guides before you set off for a hike.
- Save your accommodation details and booking confirmations on your phone.
- Expect the signal to improve at viewpoints, villages and on ridges.
How to install and activate
Setup takes only a few minutes, and you can do it at home on Wi-Fi.
- Choose your plan and complete the purchase on eSIM Prime.
- Check your email for the QR code and installation instructions.
- Before departure, scan the QR code with your phone camera and add the eSIM when prompted. Keep the phone on Wi-Fi during this step.
- On iPhone, go to Settings, then Mobile Data, and label the new line, for example "Reunion". On Android, open Settings, then Network, then SIMs.
- When you land, turn on the eSIM line and enable data roaming for that line only. Set your main SIM so it does not use mobile data.
- Open a browser or a map app to check that you are connected. If not, switch airplane mode on and off, or restart the phone.
Do not delete the eSIM profile after installing it, because you may not be able to reinstall it. Keep your main SIM active for calls and texts.
Compatible phones
Most recent smartphones support eSIM, so you can use this esim for reunion on a wide range of devices. Examples include:
- iPhone XS, XR and all later models
- Google Pixel 3 and newer
- Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, plus recent Z Fold and Z Flip models
- Other recent Android phones and some tablets with eSIM support
Your phone must also be carrier-unlocked, otherwise it will refuse a profile from another provider. Ask your current provider if you are unsure.
To check eSIM support quickly, dial *#06# on your phone. If an EID number appears, your device supports eSIM. You can also look under the phone's About or SIM settings.
eSIM vs local SIM vs roaming
Travellers to the island usually choose between three options. This quick comparison shows how they differ in practice.
| Criteria | eSIM | Local SIM | Roaming |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup | Scan a QR code online | Buy in a shop, swap the card | Nothing to install |
| Airport queue | None | Possible | None |
| Keeping your number | Yes, main SIM stays in place | Only if you carry two SIMs | Yes |
| Cost level | Low and predictable | Low to moderate | Often high |
For most visitors, an eSIM is the most convenient choice. You skip the queue, keep your number and know your data cost before you travel.
