Pitcairn Island - Communications

In March 2024, Pitcairn's internet connection successfully transitioned to Starlink.    All private homes and Government buildings now have a Starlink terminal including many public areas providing a high speed WiFi connection to the world.With the arrival of the internet and satellite communications, Pitcairn Island’s radio communications are now restricted to VHF and Ham radio enthusiasts, though the old radio station still exists at the top of the island and is well worth a look.

The Post Office stocks the world renown Pitcairn Stamps and First Day Covers. Limited numbers are produced and after two years all remaining stocks are destroyed.
