No, roaming in French Polynesia is generally not free with EU, UK, or US mobile plans, and can be very expensive.
French Polynesia is located outside the European Union's "Roam Like At Home" zone, meaning your EU or UK plan's inclusive roaming benefits will not apply there. Similarly, US mobile carriers typically classify French Polynesia as an international roaming destination, often resulting in high pay-as-you-go rates for calls, texts, and data, or requiring expensive international add-on packages. Using your home plan without an add-on can lead to significant unexpected charges.
For a more predictable and cost-effective way to stay connected, consider using an eSIM. Our eSIMs automatically connect to the strongest available major network in French Polynesia, and the exact network can vary by plan, ensuring you have reliable data access without the high roaming fees.
