Your phone will work in the Yasawa Islands if your phone is compatible with a Fiji SIM card (and, of course, if you have a Fiji SIM card) or if your home network provider offers international roaming through Fiji’s local networks (usually Vodafone Fiji).
You will be able to use a Fiji SIM card in your phone if your phone is a GSM dual-band or tri-band phone and operates on a 900Mhz frequency.
Fijian law requires all phone numbers in Fiji to be registered. This is all part of the process when you get a SIM card from any official Vodafone or Digicel store. Find out more in What are the Fiji Phone Networks?
