Which network does the eSIM connect to in American Samoa?

The eSIM uses the local networks of Bluesky Communications and ASTCA, with 4G/LTE in the inhabited areas.

Which plug type do I need?

American Samoa uses US plugs (Type A/B) at 120 V. Bring a suitable adapter; your eSIM works independently of that.

Do I keep my German number?

Yes. The eSIM is an additional data plan. Your German SIM and number stay active for calls and SMS.

When should I activate the eSIM?

Ideally before you leave: scan the QR code and install it. That way you are online straight away after the long journey.

How much does an eSIM for American Samoa cost?

eSIM data plans for American Samoa start at €7.69. You pay once for the data you choose — no contract, no monthly fee and no surprise roaming bill. Bigger data packs and longer validity cost more.

Is an eSIM cheaper than roaming in American Samoa?

It depends on the destination. Inside the EU your German plan usually includes roaming, often with a fair-use data cap; outside the EU, roaming is typically charged per day or per megabyte, and a travel eSIM is usually much cheaper. With an eSIM you see the full price before you buy and pay only for your data pack.

Can I top up or extend my American Samoa data plan?

Yes. When your data runs out or the plan expires, just buy another pack. The eSIM profile already on your phone stays in place, so there is nothing to reinstall and you stay online without a break.

Can I use the eSIM as a Wi-Fi hotspot in American Samoa?

Yes. You can share the connection with a laptop, tablet or a travel companion through your phone's personal hotspot. Hotspot use comes out of the same data allowance, so choose a slightly larger pack if you plan to tether.

How much data do I need for a trip to American Samoa?

For maps, messaging and some browsing, 1–3 GB is usually enough. Add social media and photo uploads and around 5 GB is safer; for streaming, video calls or hotspot use, plan on 10 GB or more. If you run short, you can buy another pack at any time.

Will the eSIM work on my phone?

It works on any eSIM-capable phone, including iPhone XS and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later and Google Pixel 3 and later. The phone must also be unlocked (not tied to one network). To check yours, look for "Add eSIM" under Mobile Data or Connections in your settings.
