eSIM prices across Oceania
Oceania is a small region by country count but a large one by price spread. Papua New Guinea leads at $1.20/GB, followed by Australia at $1.43/GB. Major markets like Australia and New Zealand attract strong provider competition. Smaller Pacific island nations do not, and that shows in the numbers: the regional average is $4.47/GB across 8 countries, with Samoa reaching $19.65/GB at the top.
For Australia and New Zealand, per-GB pricing is competitive and multiple plan sizes are available. For smaller Pacific destinations, expect fewer plan options and higher rates. In some cases only one provider covers the destination.
