Réunion eSIM

Get reliable mobile data for your trip to Réunion with a Cellesim eSIM. This digital SIM card allows you to connect to the internet without needing a physical SIM, helping you avoid expensive roaming charges from your home provider. Cellesim data plans for Réunion start from $3.59.

To select the best travel roaming plan for Réunion, consider both the length of your stay and your expected data usage. Our plans are designed to offer flexibility for different types of travelers.

• For short trips or light use: If you are visiting for a few days (e.g., up to 7 days) and mainly need data for maps, messaging, and occasional browsing, plans with 1 GB or 2 GB of data are often sufficient.
• For longer stays or regular use: For trips of one to two weeks (e.g., 10 to 15 days) where you might share photos, stream some music, or use social media more frequently, consider plans with 3 GB, 5 GB, or 10 GB.
• For extended travel or heavy use: If you're staying for a month or are a heavy data user who needs to stay connected for work or streaming, larger data packages of 20 GB or our unlimited data plans are the most suitable options. Please note that for unlimited plans, the connection speed may be reduced after a certain amount of data has been used, as specified in the plan details.

You can choose from validity periods ranging from 1 day to 30 days to match the duration of your visit to Réunion Island.

Your eSIM for Réunion will connect you to a reliable local network to ensure you have coverage across the island. In Réunion, our service is provided through the Orange network.

These are data-only eSIM plans. This means you will not have a local phone number for traditional calls or SMS. However, you can easily make and receive voice and video calls using internet-based apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, Telegram, or Skype. This allows you to stay in touch with friends and family using the mobile data included in your plan.

Réunion is known for its dramatic volcanic landscapes, lush forests, and beautiful coastline. While mobile coverage is strong in cities and towns like Saint-Denis, Saint-Gilles, and Saint-Pierre, you may experience weaker or intermittent signals in more remote areas. This is especially true in the mountainous interior, such as within the three 'cirques' (Mafate, Cilaos, and Salazie) and around the Piton de la Fournaise volcano. Planning ahead by downloading offline maps can be very helpful for hiking and exploring these regions.

Most hotels, restaurants, and cafes offer Wi-Fi, which you can use to save your mobile data. Upon arrival at Roland Garros Airport (RUN), you can connect to the airport's Wi-Fi if you need to finalize your eSIM installation. A key benefit of using an eSIM is that you can keep your primary SIM active. This means you can still receive calls and texts on your home number while using the Cellesim eSIM for affordable mobile data. Your WhatsApp and iMessage will continue to work with your original phone number.
