English
An eSIM for Reunion is a digital data plan for the phone you already own. There is no physical SIM card, no airport lines, and no passport needed. Your plan is ready on your SIMAREA account before you even leave home.
It works safely alongside your normal SIM. You keep your own number for calls and important text messages. Your data goes through the SIMAREA plan. Just turn off data roaming on your home SIM to avoid high bills.
Coverage comes from Orange, the one network these plans use. Your phone connects to it when you arrive.
If you stay longer, some plans can be topped up with more data; a fixed one needs a new plan.
What it is not: a local phone number. If you need a number for verification codes, see virtual numbers.
Reunion eSIM on Orange
5GMobile data on Orange for a stay on Reunion Island: a day pass, or a fixed plan from 100 MB for 7 days to 20 GB for 30 days.
The unlimited plan is the day pass we feature for Reunion: after its daily full-speed allowance it keeps you connected at a lower speed, and it is billed per day for the days you choose. Fixed plans are one price for the term shown. Nothing on this page is an estimate.

What to know about an eSIM for Reunion
The specifics that decide whether a travel eSIM is useful once you're actually there.
Runs on Orange
Plans for Reunion connect to Orange. Your phone joins it once data roaming is on for the eSIM.
Set up before you go
No SIM card store, no passport check. Install it at home, then turn on data roaming for it when you arrive.
Hotspot sharing
Share your internet with a laptop or a friend, if your plan and phone allow it.
Keep your own number
The eSIM is just for internet. Your normal SIM still receives calls and important bank codes. You can use both at once.
Staying longer?
Some plans here can be topped up with more data on the same eSIM; others are fixed.
If it does not work
Not installed or connected yet? Ask for a refund within 30 days of buying it. Installed but not working on any of its networks? Support helps, and refunds you if it cannot be fixed.
Reunion eSIM plans, and which ones show 5G
This eSIM gives you mobile data on Reunion Island, in the Indian Ocean. Every plan connects to Orange, the one network these plans use, so you compare them on size, term, and speed.
- Day pass: a daily 1 GB before the speed falls to 512 Kbps
- 7 days: 100 MB, 500 MB, or 1 GB
- 15 days: 3 GB
- 30 days: 3, 5, 10, or 20 GB
Seven of these nine plans show 5G on Orange. The exceptions both run 30 days: 3 GB and 20 GB, on 3G and 4G only. So the 15-day 3 GB shows 5G, and the 30-day 3 GB doesn't.
Two plans that follow different rules
Most Reunion plans start at the first connection on the island and can add data on the same eSIM. Two differ, so read their lines before you pay:
- 100 MB for 7 days starts counting at installation. Install this one only when you're ready for its week to begin.
- 20 GB for 30 days can't be topped up. The other eight can, with more data, while the term stays as bought.
Whichever you pick, an unused plan stays valid for 180 days. Traffic on all nine leaves through France, the Netherlands, or the United Kingdom, so sites see an address in one of those countries rather than on Reunion.
Reunion with Mauritius, Madagascar, or France
The plans above name Reunion only. For more stops:
- Madagascar or the Seychelles: both share the 29-country list of the Africa eSIM with Reunion: 1 GB for 7 days, or 3 or 5 GB for 30 days. On Reunion it stays on Orange with 5G and exits in the UK or Norway.
- Mauritius: not named on the Africa list or on Global 130. Add a Mauritius plan as a second eSIM.
- France: Reunion isn't named on the France plans or on any list of the Europe eSIM. Global 130 names both places.
Questions about a Reunion eSIM
When should I install the Reunion eSIM?
Any time before your trip, unless you chose the 100 MB plan, whose 7 days start at installation. Every other plan waits for its first connection on Reunion. Installing also closes the refund option: an eSIM that hasn't been installed or connected can be refunded on request within 30 days of purchase, and once it's installed or used it can't be, even if the phone turns out to be incompatible.
Is there a Reunion eSIM with unlimited data?
The day pass comes closest, with a limit on speed: 1 GB at full speed each day, then 512 Kbps for the rest of that day. The other eight carry a set amount of data.
Does it come with a Reunion phone number?
No. You get mobile data on Orange and nothing else from this eSIM: no Reunion number, calls, or SMS. A number that receives SMS is a separate rental, listed under virtual numbers.
Can one plan last longer than 30 days?
Not among the Reunion plans, since a top-up adds data and never days. Buy another Reunion plan, or start on Global 130, which names Reunion and has 20 GB for 90 days or 1 GB for 365 days.
