## 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](/esim/africa-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](/help/ip-address-another-country) explains it. Daily plans slow to 512 Kbps once you've used that day's allowance.

## Using your phone in Réunion: data tips

- **Land at Roland Garros:** Install your eSIM at home on Wi-Fi before you fly. Switch it on as you land at Roland Garros (RUN), then [turn on data roaming](/help/turn-on-data-roaming) for the eSIM line.
- **Maps for the trip:** Going to Cirque de Mafate or Piton de la Fournaise? Download your maps before you set off. Your eSIM runs on Orange, which offers 5G in Réunion.
- **Staying in touch:** WhatsApp is the messaging app to have ready in Réunion. Your home number stays on for calls and texts, so people at home can still reach you. [Keep WhatsApp and your home number](/help/keep-whatsapp-and-home-number) working.
- **Data to plan for:** A week of standard use, with maps, messages, social media, music and some video, is about 4.9 GB. Streaming and hotspot use is heavier, around 12.6 GB a week.
- **Home services:** Your eSIM can show an IP address from France, the Netherlands or the United Kingdom, which can help with services that check where you are.

### Which networks does the Réunion eSIM use?

Your eSIM connects to Orange in Réunion, with 5G where the network has it. Your phone picks the strongest signal automatically.

### When does my Réunion eSIM start?

### Can I top up my Réunion eSIM?

Yes. Most Réunion plans can be topped up from your eSIM page in two taps, with no new QR code. The plan table on this page shows which ones.

### Why does my IP address show another country?

Réunion plans route your data through France, a normal setup for travel eSIMs. Websites and apps may show that country's content; your speed and coverage in Réunion are not affected.

### Does it come with a phone number?

Every eSIMology plan is data only. Keep your own SIM switched on for calls and texts, and use WhatsApp, FaceTime or any calling app over your eSIM's data.

Cancel an eSIM you haven't installed within 30 days for a full refund to your card, in two taps from your eSIM page.

### Does WhatsApp work with an eSIM in Réunion?

Yes, and it's the app to have ready. WhatsApp is the messaging app people use in Réunion, and your eSIM's mobile data carries your texts, photos and group chats.

### Is there 5G in Réunion?

Yes. Orange, the network your eSIM uses, offers 5G in Réunion, so a 5G phone can connect to it wherever the signal reaches. Check that your phone supports 5G before you fly.

### Which airport do I land at in Réunion?

Your flight lands at Roland Garros (RUN). Once you land, turn on data roaming for your eSIM, and you're set for messages, maps and getting to your first stop.

Several regional bundles include Réunion. Choose the [Africa bundle for 21 countries](/esim/africa-21-countries), the Africa bundle for 29 countries, or [Global](/esim/global), which covers 127 countries, if your route goes further.

### Do I need a daily data plan for Réunion?

Not always. A daily plan gives you a set amount each day, from 500 MB a day up to 10 GB a day, for anywhere from 1 to 30 days. It's a good pick when your data needs change from one day to the next.

### Can I share my data as a hotspot in Réunion?

Yes. Heavy use, which includes streaming and hotspot, runs to about 1.8 GB a day, so plan for that if a laptop or tablet relies on your phone.
