Network Usage Tips
Mountainous/jungle areas
When venturing deep into jungles or mountainous areas, signals may be interrupted. It is recommended to download offline maps in advance, and satellite phones may be necessary to ensure communication in some remote regions.
Weather impact
Heavy rains during the rainy season may cause network disruptions. Check the weather forecast before traveling, and it is recommended to download and save important information in advance.
during transportation
Some sections of the intercity highways have no signal coverage, and while signal improvement in tourist hotspots is noticeable, there are still blind spots.
Price evaluation
In Papua New Guinea, mobile network coverage is good in major cities and tourist attractions, but limited in remote areas. Digicel, as the primary operator, offers fairly extensive network coverage with relatively higher prices, making it suitable for short-term urban travel and visits to major attractions. Additional communication solutions are needed for venturing into remote areas.
