Samoa: Mobile Coverage & Carriers
ESIMBYCOUNTRY at checkout · See all codes →Samoa's mobile market is served by two primary carriers: Digicel and Vodafone Samoa. Both networks currently operate 3G and 4G/LTE services commercially in the country. The main LTE bands available for roaming users are Band 3 (1800 MHz) and Band 8 (900 MHz), which visitors with compatible devices can typically access through their home carriers.
Regarding eSIM availability, local carrier support for eSIM technology is currently being verified and should be confirmed directly with Digicel or Vodafone Samoa before travel. 5G services are not yet commercially launched in Samoa. Given the limited independent verification of some details, travelers should contact their service providers for the most current information about coverage and device compatibility in the region.
