The nitty gritty
Reunion eSIM FAQs
No, the Reunion travel eSIM is data-only. It won’t give you a cellular voice line. If you want to call, just fire up WhatsApp, Telegram, or FaceTime using your data allowance.
Definitely. Install your Reunion travel eSIM up to 30 days before departure, and it will activate automatically when you arrive.
Installing early won’t consume data or days from your plan until you land in Reunion.
If an iPhone shows an activation error when installing abroad, you can safely ignore it - check our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide for guidance.
No - our Reunion travel eSIMs are data-only, so they don’t come with a voice line or phone number. Any calls or texts must go through internet apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, or Viber.
Your eSIM will activate automatically once you arrive in Reunion. We advise installing your Reunion Travel eSIM before you travel (installation is distinct from activation).
To install, just scan the QR code we send or install via the ZenSim app over WiFi. On landing in Reunion, the eSIM will switch on by itself.
If you have any problems, check our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or contact us 😊
The eSIM activates when you touch down in Reunion - if you’ve already installed it, it should connect automatically.
Installing while already in Reunion works too; it will start as soon as you complete setup.
If you experience connection issues, check our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or reach out to our support team.
Using a travel eSIM trumps roaming in Reunion - here’s a quick rundown:
Significant Savings: Pay local Reunion rates instead of exorbitant roaming prices set by your home carrier.
Convenient Switching: No swapping SIM cards - manage everything digitally from your phone settings.
Usage Clarity: Get real-time updates on data consumption, so you never get billed for data you didn’t need.
Data and plan days only kick in when you arrive in Reunion. Installing earlier just prepares it for activation which happens automatically when you arrive in Reunion.
Install over WiFi before your trip to get connected from the minute you touch down.
If you have trouble connecting, see our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or message us for assistance.
Yes! Our eSIMs cover more than 200 countries, including Reunion. We even provide regional eSIMs that span multiple countries in one package - head over to our Travel eSIMs page to learn more.
Network & Data Issues: If your eSIM is refusing to work, check out our eSIM troubleshooting guide. For personalized help, send us a message and we’ll jump on it.
Installation Queries: Need a walkthrough on how to install? View our eSIM install tutorial - or drop us a line via our contact form.
General Support: Have something else in mind? Reach out here and we’ll handle it swiftly.
Yes, you can. Around 99 percent of our eSIMs allow quick and easy top ups through the ZenSim app. You can add more data, increase the days, or even include a different destination on the same eSIM right from the Zen Garden.
Open the app, go to the Zen Garden area, and you’ll see the top up button waiting for you.
Top up pricing: Reunion top up plans follow the same pricing as on the website, minus a 10% discount.
Travelling for a while: If your trip lasts more than 30 days, you can queue multiple top ups. None of them will interrupt your current plan because each one only activates when the previous eSIM expires.
Travelling to more destinations: Most eSIMs let you attach extra countries via a top up. For example, if you're heading home from Europe and stopping in Singapore, you can add Singapore to your Europe eSIM and it will switch on once you arrive.
Your Reunion eSIM is designed for use within Reunion, so once it's been activated there, it won’t work in other countries.
If you're visiting multiple destinations, a better option might be one of our regional Travel eSIMs that cover entire regions like Europe or Asia.
Yep, you can, can you should! For every friend or family member you refer to purchase a Reunion eSIM, you will earn a A$5 voucher to use on your next purchase AND they will save A$5 on their purchase.
All you have to do is share your unique referral URL with them, which you can access after purchase, and if they click it and purchase the savings are automatic.
You can monitor your referrals and find your personal referral URL directly in the ZenSim app. Read our terms for full details.
Our Reunion unlimited plans include a 3GB daily allowance, which is more than enough for most people - average daily usage tends to sit under 1GB.
If you happen to use more than that in a day, your speed gets limited to 1Mbps until midnight, at which point your full-speed allowance kicks back in.
This only applies to unlimited plans - if you've chosen a fixed-data plan like 10GB or 20GB, there's no daily throttling at all, just use it freely until it runs out. We'll let you know before that happens, and you can top up in seconds via the ZenSim app.
Your plan won't start using data or counting down days until you actually arrive in Reunion - so there's zero risk in installing it early.
As long as you've already installed your eSIM, it'll automatically activate the moment you land, and that's when your days and data officially kick off.
From there, your eSIM expires when either your data or your days run out, whichever comes first (unless you're on an unlimited plan, in which case it's purely down to the days). So if you grab a 30-day plan, it'll run out 30 days after you arrive in Reunion, not 30 days from when you bought it.
Simplest way is to pop your phone into our eSIM compatibility checker - it'll tell you straight away whether it's good to go with our Reunion eSIM and the networks behind it.
If you're still unsure after that, get in touch with us and we'll help you figure it out. And just in case your phone isn't compatible after all, our refund policy means you'll get a full refund - so go ahead and grab a plan without the worry.
We sure do - it's covered under our 100% money back guarantee.
Cancelled trip, incompatible phone, or your travel plans just changing - all of these situations qualify.
Check out our refund policy for the full details, but the bottom line is: if you can't install or use the eSIM, you'll get every cent back.

Explore the Lush Cirque de Mafate
A UNESCO-listed site, Cirque de Mafate is a stunning volcanic caldera that can only be reached on foot or by helicopter. The area is completely remote, with no roads leading in or out, making it a paradise for nature lovers and hiking enthusiasts.

It's one of the most unique and peaceful destinations on the island.
Relax on the Stunning Beaches of Saint-Gilles

Nearby, the Plage de l’Ermitage offers a perfect setting for a leisurely swim, while local beachfront restaurants serve fresh seafood and Creole specialities.
