eSIM für Mikronesien

Wie viel Datenvolumen Sie tatsächlich brauchen

Most visitors keep their usage light: messages, email and checking flights, mostly over accommodation Wi-Fi in each state's main town. Prepare maps and documents offline, and assume that large uploads of dive footage will be something you do after the trip rather than each night from your room.

Nach der Landung

There are four gateways, one per state: Pohnpei International (PNI) near Kolonia, Chuuk (TKK) on Weno, Kosrae (KSA), and Yap International (YAP) at Colonia. All sit on the Island Hopper route that links Honolulu and Guam island by island. Outer islands such as Ulithi or the Mortlocks are reached on government ships and irregular light-aircraft services rather than anything you can book like a normal flight.

Wo sich die Abdeckung ändert

Workable service sits in each state's main town: Kolonia on Pohnpei, Weno in Chuuk Lagoon, Tofol on Kosrae and Colonia on Yap. Head out along the ring roads, into the interior rainforest on Pohnpei, or onto a boat crossing the lagoon, and it thins quickly. The outer islands of Yap and Chuuk, hundreds of kilometres away, should be treated as offline for the entire time you are there.
