Will my eSIM have signal in New Caledonia?
Mobilis is the network your eSIM joins in New Caledonia, and it runs 5G, so a 5G phone can use it where coverage allows. Nouméa and the main coastal towns are well covered, while signal is patchy in the mountains and on remote islands. Your phone picks Mobilis by itself, so there's nothing to set up once you land.
Your data reaches the internet through Austria, which is a normal setup for travel eSIMs. The IP address help page explains what that means for you. Daily plans slow to a much slower speed once you pass that day's allowance.
How much data do you need in New Caledonia?
Light: maps, messages, email (about 0.25 GB a day). Standard: plus social, music, some video (about 0.7 GB a day). Heavy: plus streaming, video calls, hotspot (about 1.8 GB a day).

Using your phone in New Caledonia: data tips
- Before you fly: Install your eSIM at home on Wi-Fi, so there's nothing to set up once you land, and your eSIM is ready to switch on.
- Landing: Touch down at La Tontouta (NOU), switch your eSIM line on, and turn on data roaming for it. Then open your maps and go.
- Getting around: From Nouméa to Bourail, Lifou or Poindimié, your eSIM runs on the Mobilis network, with 5G where it reaches. Use that connection for directions, bookings and finding your way back to your hotel.
- Staying in touch: Facebook Messenger runs on your eSIM data, so you can message friends and family as you explore Île des Pins. Keep your home number on for calls and texts while you're away.
- Running low: Every plan can be topped up, so you can add more data mid-trip without buying a new eSIM.

Do I need to set up my eSIM before I land at La Tontouta airport?
Yes, install it before you fly. Do it at home while you have Wi-Fi, then switch on data roaming when you land at La Tontouta (NOU). That leaves less to do at the airport.
Can I share my eSIM data with a laptop in Nouméa?
