New Caledonia Mobile phones
GSM Mobile Phones in New Caledonia
GSM/3G 900/2100 compatible with Australia, New Zealand, and European mobile phones work fine in New Caledonia but not American or Japanese mobile phones.
Most modern three or four band mobile phones will work fine in New Caledonia.
You can buy one in Noumea for a reasonable price and get a mobile pay in advance card at the same time.
Mobile Phone Coverage in New Caledonia
The GSM network covers all of New Caledonia, the Loyalty Islands and Isle des Pins. However, there are some areas where the signal fades or does not work at all. You can pretty much depend on coverage where there is a sizable village or town, and there are many remote areas that have line-of-sight to an antenna.
3G coverage is expected to cover all of the population centres of New Caledonia by the end of next year.
The Cruising Guide to New Caledonia gives you the actual GSM phone reception in every anchorage and along the coastline so you won't have to guess about coverage.
When cruising close along the east coast of Grande Terre the signal appears and vanishes as you pass villages and towns. However we have had reasonable reception in anchorages as much as 27 nautical miles from the nearest antenna and the system is expanding rapidly.
Roaming
Most countries - and mobile phone providers - have a roaming agreement that works in New Caledonia - You REALLY do not want to use data on your mobile while roaming here.
Roaming data costs in New Caledonia are shocking - up to $15,000 for 1 GB of upload/download traffic.
Pay in Advance SIM card
This "pay in advance" service is the best deal for using your mobile phone in New Caledonia. There are numerous providers in Noumea that can quickly and easily fit your unlocked 900/2100 GSM phone with a New Caledonia SIM card.
Our cruising guide shows you where the dealers are located and how to set up your phone to get an Internet connection at reasonable cost. Order it now and be prepared.
