Skip home data roaming bills, SIM swaps, airport kiosk queues, contracts and ID checks. You only need an eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked phone, with no physical SIM to collect.
Keep your own number while the eSIM handles data only. Your SIM stays in your phone for calls, SMS and bank codes, and WhatsApp keeps your existing number.
Choose a short plan for a Tongatapu break exploring Nuku‘alofa and coastal sights. Longer plans suit island journeys that take you onwards to Ha‘apai or Vava‘u.
Arrive with your eSIM already installed before departure, ready to connect in Tonga. You can try connecting before passport control instead of searching for airport Wi-Fi.
What it is not: a phone number. For a local number to receive sign-up codes or bookings, add a virtual number next to the data plan.
How it works

Pay and scan the QR code
Pay from your balance and get the QR code at once.

Turn it on when you land

What customers say
Best virtual number website
Using this site from more than 1 month and everything works perfect till now.. no problem faced.. UI is simple and easy to understand, buying number is fast.. numbers are always fresh and otp comes instantly no waiting time.. I really suggest them best site in 2026
Worked as intended
Well, it worked as intended. It was very easy to use the service, so I can only recommend it. Wish there were help desk to check some questions but regardless it was a satisfactory purchase.
Excellent service. So happy I found it
Excellent service. Works when it works and replaced when it doesnt. Fair pricing and good perks as well.
It definitely works
It definitely works, but it can be confusing if you are not aware of what some of the services do to prevent having multiple numbers. WhatsApp will try to prevent you from making a new number on the same phone. Just have to use another phone to create the account and then you can sign in properly. I was confused why I kept going through so many numbers not working, but it was because I was using the same device that I recently had an account on. I deleted my previous account, but WhatsApp saves your device info for 30 days.
Much more reliable
SMS a little more expensive than other pages, but they are much more reliable, and work.
My experience has been great
My experience has been great because 1001sms has made my job so effortless and a 10 man task feel like a job for just 1.
Great service
Great service, absolute amazin for 3rd Countries who cant use amaing services without phone numbers
I have used number from this site and it's good
I have used number from this site and it worked perfectly. 1001sms is a good choice when it comes to getting number from any country and any service

FAQ
Using an eSIM in Tonga: your questions
Your phone must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked to use this Tonga plan. Dial *#06# and look for an EID to identify eSIM support.
Yes, your own SIM stays in your phone while the eSIM supplies data. You can keep using WhatsApp with your existing number during your Tonga trip.
Your own SIM receives verification texts, not your Tonga data eSIM. Keep that SIM turned on; receiving codes relies on your home carrier and the sender.
Sharing data requires your phone’s hotspot feature to pass the connection to another phone. Your Tonga eSIM supplies mobile data, not a separate phone number.
You can buy another Tonga plan using your prepaid account balance. Its QR code and manual activation code arrive after payment for you to install.
Select your eSIM for mobile data and turn on data roaming for that line. Restart your phone, then try connecting again in Tonga.
Choose your Tonga eSIM as the line for mobile data in your phone settings. Turn off data roaming and mobile data switching for your home SIM.
