Question 1

How quickly do I get my Papua Nugini eSIM?

Accepted Answer

Immediately. The profile is issued as soon as payment clears and appears on your order page with a QR code — usually within a few seconds.

Question 2

When does the plan start counting down in Papua Nugini?

Accepted Answer

On the first connection to a network in Papua Nugini, not at purchase. Install it before you fly and the validity still starts when you arrive.

Question 3

Will I keep my own number in Papua Nugini?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The eSIM is a separate data-only line, so your usual SIM keeps handling calls, SMS and WhatsApp. Switch off data roaming on that line to avoid your home operator's charges.

Question 4

Can I share the connection from my phone in Papua Nugini?

Accepted Answer

Yes, hotspot and tethering are allowed on these plans. Sharing uses your data allowance at the same rate as the phone itself.

Question 5

What if I run out of data in Papua Nugini?

Accepted Answer

The connection simply stops — no overage bills. You can buy a top-up for the same eSIM without installing anything again.
