Yes. TELCO's 4G LTE network covers virtually all inhabited areas of the island, including coastal resorts, highland villages, and major tourist sites. Very remote hiking zones may have limited signal.

e1sim plans are data-only. You can use internet calling apps such as WhatsApp, Facetime, or Skype for voice communication. Your primary SIM can remain active for incoming calls.

As a French overseas territory, Réunion is technically outside the EU roaming zone, so standard EU roam-like-at-home plans may not apply. An eSIM is a cost-effective alternative.

You can install the eSIM before travelling and activate it when you land in Réunion. This ensures instant connectivity upon arrival without needing an airport SIM counter.

For typical tourist use — maps, social media, messaging, and occasional streaming — a 5–10 GB plan covers most week-long stays. Heavy streamers or remote workers may prefer a larger plan.
