The nitty gritty
Vanuatu eSIM FAQs
No, the Vanuatu travel eSIM is data-only. It won’t give you a cellular voice line. If you want to call, just fire up WhatsApp, Telegram, or FaceTime using your data allowance.
Definitely. Install your Vanuatu travel eSIM up to 30 days before departure, and it will activate automatically when you arrive.
Installing early won’t consume data or days from your plan until you land in Vanuatu.
If an iPhone shows an activation error when installing abroad, you can safely ignore it - check our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide for guidance.
No, our Vanuatu travel eSIMs do not include any phone number - they strictly provide internet data. For calls, use data - driven apps such as WhatsApp, Messenger, or Facetime.
Your eSIM will activate automatically when you land in Vanuatu. However, we recommend installing the Vanuatu Travel eSIM beforehand (activation happens on arrival).
Simply scan the QR code provided or install the eSIM via the ZenSim app while on WiFi. Once you touch down in Vanuatu, the eSIM will go live.
Trouble activating? See our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or contact us for help ☺️
Your Vanuatu travel eSIM kicks in as soon as you arrive in Vanuatu - provided it was installed beforehand.
If you install it after you land, it should start working right away.
If you run into trouble, see our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or get in touch with us.
Hands down, a travel eSIM beats roaming in Vanuatu. Here’s why:
Cheaper Data: Pay local prices rather than roaming surcharges from your home network.
Instant Setup: No waiting for physical SIM delivery - your eSIM is ready the minute you land.
Full Expense Control: Track data usage and spending in - app, so you avoid surprise fees.
No - the plan’s data and days only start when you arrive in Vanuatu. Installation beforehand simply sets it up for activation on landing.
We recommend installing before departure since you will need WiFi to complete the installation process and this way you will be connected as soon as you land.
If you need help connecting, check our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or reach out to us.
Absolutely! ZenSim’s eSIMs work in over 200 countries, and Vanuatu is one of them. We also have regional eSIMs that cover several nations on a single plan - check out our Travel eSIMs page for details.
Signal & Connectivity: If you’re stuck without data, follow our detailed troubleshooting guide. If issues persist, contact support and we’ll fix it promptly.
Install Assistance: For help installing, consult our installation walkthrough. Still need help? Reach out and we’ll guide you step by step.
Other Support Requests: For anything else, head to our contact page.
Yes, you can. Around 99 percent of our eSIMs allow quick and easy top ups through the ZenSim app. You can add more data, increase the days, or even include a different destination on the same eSIM right from the Zen Garden.
Open the app, go to the Zen Garden area, and you’ll see the top up button waiting for you.
Top up pricing: Vanuatu top up plans follow the same pricing as on the website, minus a 10% discount.
Travelling for a while: If your trip lasts more than 30 days, you can queue multiple top ups. None of them will interrupt your current plan because each one only activates when the previous eSIM expires.
Travelling to more destinations: Most eSIMs let you attach extra countries via a top up. For example, if you're heading home from Europe and stopping in Singapore, you can add Singapore to your Europe eSIM and it will switch on once you arrive.
After activation in Vanuatu, your eSIM won’t usually work elsewhere. Each country typically needs its own eSIM unless you're using a regional one.
To make travel easier, try one of our regional Travel eSIMs - they work across entire continents.
You bet there is! Once you purchase an Vanuatu eSIM you will be able to access your unique referral URL which you can share with your travel buds.
If they click the URL and purchase a plan they will save A$5 on their order and you will receive a A$5 voucher on your account which will be automatically applied on your next purchase (provided they are a new customer of course).
You can track your referrals and access your referral URL in the ZenSim app. Check out our terms for more info.
Only if you're on one of our unlimited plans - these come with a 3GB daily allowance, which covers the vast majority of travellers comfortably, since most people only use under 1GB a day.
Go over 3GB in a day and your speed will drop to 1Mbps for the rest of that day, resetting back to full speed at midnight.
If you've gone with a fixed-data plan (like 10GB or 20GB) instead of unlimited, there's no daily cap to worry about - you can use your data however you like until it's gone. We'll notify you before you run out, and you can top up instantly through the ZenSim app.
There's no fixed start date the moment you buy it - your plan sits dormant until you actually arrive in Vanuatu, so buying and installing it early doesn't cost you any data or days.
Once you land, provided the eSIM is already installed, it activates automatically and that's your official start date.
Your expiry date follows on from there - the plan ends once either your data or your days run out, whichever comes first (or just the days, if you're on unlimited). So a 30-day plan expires 30 days after you land in Vanuatu, regardless of when you originally bought it.
Simplest way is to pop your phone into our eSIM compatibility checker - it'll tell you straight away whether it's good to go with our Vanuatu eSIM and the networks behind it.
If you're still unsure after that, get in touch with us and we'll help you figure it out. And just in case your phone isn't compatible after all, our refund policy means you'll get a full refund - so go ahead and grab a plan without the worry.
You're covered - our 100% money back guarantee exists for exactly this situation.
Trip cancelled? Phone not eSIM-compatible? Plans changed and you just don't need it anymore? All of these are covered.
The full details sit in our refund policy, but in short: if you can't install or use the eSIM, we'll give you a full refund. You shouldn't have to pay for something you can't use.

Top 3 things to do in Vanuatu
Visit the Active Yasur Volcano
Yasur Volcano on Tanna Island is one of the most accessible active volcanoes in the world. Visitors can hike to the summit and witness spectacular eruptions, with lava explosions, glowing red craters, and billowing ash clouds. The surrounding lush rainforest and the volcanic ash-covered landscape create a surreal, otherworldly atmosphere. It's a must-see for thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike.
Relax on the Beaches of Espiritu Santo
Espiritu Santo is the largest island in Vanuatu, known for its unspoiled beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant coral reefs. Lonnoc Beach and Champagne Beach are perfect for swimming, snorkelling, and enjoying the tropical sunshine. The island is also home to blue holes, natural freshwater pools surrounded by lush vegetation, offering a peaceful and refreshing escape.
Snorkel in the Millennium Caves
Located on Espiritu Santo, the Millennium Caves are a hidden gem for adventure travellers. After a guided trek through the jungle, visitors reach a stunning series of caves, where they can swim in underground rivers and explore stalactites and stalagmites. The caves are not only a natural wonder but also an important cultural site for the local tribes.
