About Tonga676
Tonga676 is an online gathering place for Tongans and the wider Pacific family, wherever we live: in Tonga, Australia, Aotearoa New Zealand, the United States and all around the world. The name comes from Tonga’s international calling code, +676.
Many of us remember the early days of Pacific community websites, when a chat room was where you caught up with cousins overseas, met new friends and heard the news from home. Tonga676 brings that feeling back with a modern, safe and mobile-friendly site.

About the news
We show headlines from publishers who allow it, with a link to read each story on the publisher’s own site. We don’t copy full articles. Until news sources are set up, the news pages show placeholders that are clearly labelled “Sample, not real news”.
