Direct dialing for local and international telephone calls is very easy in French Polynesia, whether calling from your hotel or from the public phone booths.

When dialing direct to Tahiti and Her Islands from overseas, use the international access code (i.e 011, or 00) applicable in your country + 689 ( Country Code) + Local Number.

Internet access in French Polynesia is solely available through the government company MANA. At this point of time, there are no local access nodes to AOL, COMPUSERVE or other Internet service providers. If you bring your portable computer with you, it might be easier to dial your access number in the US, NZ or Australia to check your emails.
