Freddie...if you have a GSM (tri band)phone you can buy a SIM card called Vini card in Tahiti. It is a prepaid card that give you a local phone number and a certain amount of communication time. I found them in the Poste Office. The service is not cheap, but will offer you the opportunity to communicate with home using your own phone anywhere a cell signal is available. You can be reached from home by giving them your Vini number.
