Vini (historical operator, part of OPT) and Vodafone Polynesia are the main operators. 4G+ coverage across Papeete, all of Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora, Huahine, Raiatea and Rangiroa. More remote islands (Tuamotus, Marquesas, Australs) have varied coverage — touristed atolls (Tikehau, Fakarava, Nuku Hiva) well covered, uninhabited atolls offline. Bora Bora overwater bungalow resorts have coverage from the atoll's coastal network. French Polynesia is NOT in the EU roam-like-at-home zone despite being French territory — always expensive roaming on EU plans. Type C/E/F French plugs, 220V/50Hz.

Smart plan: 2 nights Papeete/Tahiti + 3-4 nights Moorea (more accessible) + 3-4 nights Bora Bora (iconic). Tahiti-Moorea ferry 15€ 30 min; flights to Bora Bora 1h. Languages French (official) and Tahitian. Cards accepted at resorts but cash useful for small vendors. Departure tax included in ticket.
