View detailsThere is only one mobile network operator in Wallis and Futuna: Manuia.
Wallis and Futuna was the last French territory to begin mobile services, and it didn’t commence until 2015.
Manuia is a product of the Service des Postes et des Télécommunications (SPT). Its 3G network is on 900MHz and is built for voice and text. There is a 4G/LTE network for data, but the frequency isn’t public knowledge. There’s only one place to buy Manuia’s starter package – at the lone SPT shop on Wallis Island. It’s open until 2:30pm Monday thru Friday.
The SIM card costs XPF5,000 and comes with XPF3,000 preloaded plus 10 domestic SMS. The credit and SMS are good for 90 days. When you want to recharge your account, you can buy a scratch voucher good for 1-6 months of validity. Different top-ups have different functions including voice and SMS, SMS only and data only. To check your available balance, text the word “solde” to 444.
The standard data rate is XPF10 per MB, but there are more affordable packages listed below, available through special vouchers known as Recharges 4G.
Price | Data Volume | Validity |
---|---|---|
XPF1,000 | 300MB | 3 weeks |
XPF3,000 | 800MB | 4 weeks |
XPF5,000 | 2GB | 6 weeks |
