Vini

What Vini does

Vini is the integrated telecommunications operator serving French Polynesia, operated as a brand under ONATi SAS, a privately held corporation domiciled in Papeete with social capital of approximately 5,122,000,000 XPF (~42.8 million USD). The company delivers mobile (4G/5G with progressive 5G rollout initiated in 2026), fixed internet via fiber, ADSL, and 4G/5G home solutions, satellite television through an exclusive CANAL+ distribution arrangement including UHD-4K decoders and the MyCANAL streaming app, and fixed-line telephony. Network infrastructure spans 339 4G+ sites across 31 islands and 65 islands in total, covering approximately 92% of the population. Supporting services include Vini Tag vehicle GPS tracking, Vini Smart Family location services (via Weenect), iPhone repair, and the Vini'Ura loyalty program.

The business model is primarily subscription-recurring across mobile, internet, TV, and fixed telephony plans, supplemented by hardware sales (phones, tablets, Vinibox routers), prepaid recharges (200–5,000 F), and usage-based premium SMS services. Vini serves individual consumers (Particuliers), business professionals (via a dedicated Agence Pro channel offering Flotte Mobile fleet management, Vinibox PRO, Numéro Vert, and shared billing), and international tourists (Vini Travelers, eSIM). Distribution is multi-channel and unusually deep for a market of this size: 9 retail boutiques, over 80 Fare Rata agencies, more than 300 resellers, Tahiti Phone locations, post offices, plus online self-service through Espace Client and the Vini & Moi mobile app.

Go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer and sales-led motions. Pricing in XPF includes promotional bundles (e.g., 24-month commitments with up to 4 months free, multi-service discounts up to 3,000 F/month) and tiered loyalty rewards. The company maintains no disclosed parent or external investors and does not publicly report revenue, with Nicolas Weinmann serving as Director of Publication. Customer support is delivered via a 39 50 hotline, in-boutique SAV, and the online portal, anchored by 31 years of local brand presence and cultural sponsorships (Heiva I Tahiti, Hawaiki Nui Va'a, Tahiti Pro surfing).
