Questions people ask about Réunion
Can I buy the Réunion eSIM as a tourist, or does someone check my passport first?
No counter and no document: the Reunion Mobile profile arrives as a QR by email and joins Orange the moment you scan it. The catalogue records no identity check on it, checked 28 September 2026.
Will WhatsApp calls work on the Réunion eSIM, and do I get a phone number?
WhatsApp and FaceTime calls run over data, so they work. The Reunion Mobile profile is data-only — all 12 Réunion plans are — so it carries no phone number: no SMS, no ordinary calls. Keep your home SIM in the phone for bank codes.
How much data do I need for a week in Réunion?
About 2.4 GB — maps, chats and a podcast a day, with video left on hotel Wi-Fi. In Réunion the cheapest plan that covers it is 3 GB - 30 days at $8.99. That is a guide, not a measurement: the rates are the services' own published figures.
Will I get 5G on the Réunion eSIM?
No — the Réunion profile is specified for 4G on Orange, not 5G. For maps, calls over data and streaming that is the same experience; 5G changes the number, not the trip.
Does the Réunion eSIM work in the countries next door?
No — the catalogue lists this as a local Réunion profile on Orange, not a regional plan; it stops at the border. 41 other Africa countries in the catalogue sell their own.
Is there an unlimited-data plan for Réunion?
Yes — 6 unlimited tiers for Réunion, 3 to 30 days, from $11.49, which works out at $3.83 a day. The metered plans above are the alternative when you know roughly how much you use.
