The smallest state in the South Pacific, Nauru is an island of 10,000 people in Micronesia. It’s popular among tourists for its diverse marine life and activities such as snorkeling, scuba diving and fishing. If you’re visiting Nauru, you can cut down on international roaming fees by purchasing a local SIM card for your phone. A starter pack with a week’s worth of data can be purchased for AUD$20.50.
Smartphone network operators in Nauru
There is only one network operator on the island, which is no surprize given its size. Digicel Nauru is the de facto brand, although its coverage map has disappeared from its website. There’s a kiosk at the International Airport of Nauru (INU). The main store is at the Civic Center and is open 9am-6pm Monday thru Friday and 9:30am-2:00pm on Saturdays. It’s closed on Sundays.
The prepaid SIM costs AUD$10 and comes with a AUD$5 credit. It can be conveniently topped up via credit card at the Digicel Nauru website, at the Digicel Nauru main store or by visiting other representatives dotting the island. Top-ups can be as low as AUD$0.50 all the way up to AUD$100.
