Hello everyone,

What are the best ways you've found for keeping in touch with friends and family back home while living in the Solomon Islands? How frequently do you stay in touch with loved ones?

Are there local equivalents to common instant messaging and online video calling services that you prefer or are more widely used?

If there is a sizeable time difference, how do you manage this?

Do you make international phone calls from a landline or mobile phone from the Solomon Islands? What do you think of the cost?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Hello everyone!

I am considering moving to Honiara in the next couple of months and would be interested to have some information about this topic.
What phone and internet companies do you recommended? And how much does it cost for phone and for internet per month approximately?
Thank you in advance.

Cheers,
Ale
