Your Réunion eSIM in two questions
Which Réunion eSIM plan do I need?
From a few days in Saint-Denis to a month exploring Piton de la Fournaise, these are the plans we'd pick.
- A three-day city break in Saint-Denis: get the 1 GB a day for 3 days plan for messages, maps and a few social posts.
- A fortnight touring the island: choose 10 GB for 30 days, which suits standard use over two weeks.
- A month-long stay: take 20 GB for 30 days, the plan for standard use over a full month.
- A week that also takes in another country: pick 5 GB for 30 days, or the Africa bundle for 21 countries, which also covers Réunion.
Most plans can be topped up, and the longest plan lasts 30 days.

Will my eSIM have signal in Réunion?
Orange is the network your eSIM joins on Réunion, and it offers 5G. Your phone picks Orange by itself, so there's nothing to choose. The coast and main towns are well covered, but signal can be patchy in the mountain cirques, so keep that in mind for a hike.
Your data reaches the internet through a connection in France, the Netherlands or the United Kingdom, a normal setup for travel eSIMs; the IP address help page explains it. Daily plans slow to 512 Kbps once you've used that day's allowance.
How much data do you need in Réunion?
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).
