UM in Tahiti/French Polynesia?

Hey gang-

We will be in Tahiti next month and wondered if anyone has had a chance to try out United Mobile there? French Polynesia is not listed on their site, but hoping perhaps their France agreement might cover it! Thanks!

I wouldn't count on it. Take a look at the comparison chart in the "Sticky" section. Everyone has roaming in France, only one (CelTrek) has roaming in Tahiti besides ATT at 2.29 and T-M for 2.99. CelTrek is quoted at 39/54 incoming/outgoing.
None of these rates are close to what they are in France. American Samoa has no relationship to U.S. roaming as a comparison.

09 appears to be working in French Polynesia, with 0.29 euros incoming per minute.

You might want to consider Skype-Out via Wi-Fi connection (small PDA or wifi device) from a coffee shop or if your hotel offers it....would only be about 2 cents a minute back to US. Another alternative would be a local Vini prepaid sim card (900 Mhz GSM) but international rates are close to $2/minute so best paired with a callback service.

I use an LG G6, wife an S7) A/o Oct 20, 2013 no need for intl prepaid as T-Mobile U.S. includes voice roaming at 20¢/min (in and out)., unlimited text (in and out), and unlimited data in 140+ countries. My Plan -[6 lines] U.S. T-Mobile unlimited minutes (incoming and outgoing), unlimited text, fast data on each line. that $145/mo. total! . (In U.S. no surcharge for calling a cell.) If a line exceeds 2G of data in a month, pay $10 more for that line. [That only happens a couple times/year.
