Post office and communication

Post Office
  Polynesian post offices offer the same kind of services as you would find in your home country. Mail sent to Europe and the U.S.A. will reach its destination from 8 to 15 days. Post offices are generally opened Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Telephone
  Direct dialing for local and international phone calls is available everywhere in French Polynesia, from your hotel or from a public phone. Calling cards are available for purchase at any post offices, newspapers stores or shops with phone booths nearby. Local phone numbers are composed of 6 digits and there is no area code applicable.
Mobile phone
  Mobile phone service in French Polynesia uses the GSM system and the main touristic islands are connected. However there might be some blackout zones. For more informations about "roaming" you can consult Vini website, the local operator.
Internet access
  There is two ISP with headquarters located in Tahiti called MANA and VITI that charges a rate of 33 CFP per minute (ie : 0,25$ / mn).It is possible to retrieve your emails while on vacations since several Internet cafes are now available in Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora. Very few hotels have a modem plugs directly available in the rooms and they may charge an extra-fee, so please check with your hotel.
