Vanuatu is a chain of more than eighty islands people come to for wreck diving, for standing on the rim of Mount Yasur on Tanna, and for village life that has not been staged for visitors. Getting between islands depends on small aircraft and boats whose timetables move with the weather. The other thing to follow is cyclone season, roughly late in the year into the early months, which is the main reason to keep a working data line for the whole trip.

A GB plan is a fixed amount of data. When it is used up, data on that eSIM stops and nothing is charged automatically, but you can top up the same eSIM without a new QR code, and check what is left any time from your order page.

Roughly 300MB to 1GB a day, since whole days go to diving or the volcano. Data mainly covers confirming tours, checking domestic flights and following weather updates.
The main gateway is Bauerfield International (VLI) at Port Vila on Efate. Santo-Pekoa (SON) at Luganville takes some international services and is the base for wreck diving, while Tanna is served by Whitegrass (TAH) on domestic flights only. Cruise ships are the other arrival point, calling at Port Vila and Mystery Island. Switch the line on before you leave the terminal to confirm your transfer.
Port Vila and Luganville work well around the markets, the wharves and many outlying resorts, but coverage thins the moment you leave those two towns. The Efate ring road has gaps, and on Tanna near the Yasur access track, on Malekula and on Pentecost, service tends to exist only close to a village or an airstrip.

Plan on none. The access track and the crater rim are largely outside service. Confirm timings with your guide and driver while you are still at the lodge, screenshot the booking details, and tell people at home you will be out of contact through that evening.
Late in the year into the early months is South Pacific cyclone season. Check the Vanuatu Meteorology advisories daily, leave a buffer day before your return flight, and take travel insurance that covers delays. Domestic flights and boats often stop several days ahead of a system arriving.
Yes. In Port Vila and Luganville, hotels and larger shops take cards, but on the outer islands village entry fees, guides and produce markets are cash-only in vatu. ATMs are scarce outside those two towns, so withdraw enough before you leave for another island.
Most plans here start when the phone first connects to a network at the destination, so you can install in advance at home and switch it on after landing. Each plan page states its own rule.
No. The eSIM is a second line, so you keep your home number for SMS OTP. Turn off roaming data on the home line and set the eSIM as the data line.
