Mobile internet in Papua New Guinea

An eSIM is the easiest way to stay online while travelling in Papua New Guinea. You can choose from 14 data bundles from €24.99, with sizes ranging from 1 GB to 10 GB. Need a lot of data? Unlimited bundles are available too.

In Papua New Guinea your eSIM connects to local networks such as BMobile Limited and Digicel (PNG) Limited, with fast 4G where available.

How much data you need depends mostly on what you do while travelling. For navigation, WhatsApp and the occasional scroll through social media, 1 to 3 GB is usually plenty for a short trip. The smallest bundle for Papua New Guinea starts at 1 GB, so you never pay for more than you need. If you stream a lot of video or share photos every day, pick a larger bundle or an unlimited option.

That way you avoid high roaming charges and skip hunting for a local SIM on arrival. You keep your own number for WhatsApp and texts, and use the eSIM purely for data. Installation takes a few minutes using the QR code you receive by email.
