French Polynesia, including Tahiti and Bora Bora, is served mainly by Vini (the historic operator) and Vodafone French Polynesia (Pacific Mobile Telecom), with 4G across Tahiti, Moorea and the main tourist islands. Coverage is good in populated areas and around resorts, but the territory spans many scattered islands and atolls, so the more remote Tuamotu and Marquesas islands can have limited service. Expect strong signal on Tahiti and Bora Bora and weaker or no coverage on isolated motus and during inter-island boat trips. Networks: Vini, Vodafone French Polynesia.
A relaxed island stay with maps, social media and messaging typically needs around 5 GB over a week, with resort WiFi covering heavier use.
French Polynesia is a French overseas collectivity but is outside the EU roaming zone, so EU roaming bundles do not apply here and a local eSIM is usually the better choice.

Bora Bora has solid 4G coverage in the main resort areas, so most overwater bungalows get usable signal. Resorts also provide WiFi, though it can be slow at peak times.
