Bermuda: Best Tourist eSIMs Reviewed (2024)

Bermuda – probably infamous for its Bermuda triangle that scared us when we were young.

But the island nation is also known for its stunning beaches, especially the pink sand beaches.

While there are plenty of beaches, you may want to visit the Crystal and Fantasy Caves, which are stunning.

Or perhaps the Gibb's Hill Lighthouse for a change. What about the National Museum of Bermuda?

So you do not have to sit at the beach being baked by the sun all day if you do not want to (but… we both know that is what you will be doing most of the time).

Or enjoying the excellent nightlife.

But… Bermuda is EXPENSIVE. The cost of travel to the island and being there is incredible.

I kind of pity the locals because the cost of living is crazy too.

That is why you can be better off with a travel eSIM to save on data costs abroad.

How much will you pay for a travel eSIM for Bermuda?

You can get an eSIM for Bermuda for as little as 9.50 USD and up to 54 USD from Airalo (Bermy Mobile) and Holafly.

I will also introduce you to a few global eSIMs that be used in Bermuda and 110+ other countries, including Bermuda's (indirect) neighbors, for competitive rates.

In a Hurry? A Quick Introduction

I will write about three eSIM options in Bermuda (and explain why they are included).

But if you want to quickly check out what the best eSIMs are for Bermuda without my analysis and explanations, here is an overview of the eSIMs covered in this guide:

Airalo Bermuda Bermy Mobile eSIM with four choices between 1 GB and 5 GB
Holafly Bermuda eSIM with three choices between 3 GB and 15 GB (cheapest 7 GB > – use code PHONETRAVELWIZ for 5% off)
Holafly Caribbean eSIM (covers 16 Caribbean countries with a generous allowance)

Note: the promo codes mentioned above can also be used for regional and global eSIMs (they are not restricted to country-specific eSIMs only). In other news, the eSIM providers are in alphabetical order per grouping (Bermuda-only, regional & global) – not in order of preference (you would have to read the complete guide to find out which eSIMs I love the most for Bermuda 😜).

Let's truly get started, shall we?

Airalo Bermy Mobile eSIM for Bermuda

If you have looked for travel eSIMs before, you have undoubtedly read or heard of Airalo – the largest, oldest & most popular eSIM platform out there, covering around 190 countries (more than any other eSIM platform out there).

Airalo is so popular and loved, even by myself, because Airalo's eSIMs are often the most affordable while using (one of) the best local networks while also offering plenty of data options so that you can pick the one that suits your needs.

The latter does not really apply to Bermuda or the Caribbean in general, but let's not get ahead of ourselves 😏.

Anyway, the Airalo eSIM for Bermuda is called Bermy Mobile and uses the One Communications network (on 4G/LTE – no 5G NR because there is no 5G NR in Bermuda yet 🗿).

Wait… why does the Bermy Mobile eSIM use the One Communications network?

Travel eSIM providers like Airalo set up roaming agreements with local mobile operators.

And that is not an Airalo-specific thing – basically all mobile operators do, allowing their customers can still stay connected when abroad (at high prices).

Otherwise, they would need to build their own networks in 190 countries, which is $$$.

For example, 2degrees in New Zealand claims it spent more than a billion (New Zealand) dollars on its network, and New Zealand is not even that big.

Imagine how much it would cost to build your own network in every country out there 😳.

Anyway, you may have been distracted by the term roaming because you may have read stories of travelers going back home facing a 7000 USD roaming bill or something.

Worry not; that will not happen when you use the Bermy Mobile eSIM (or any other travel eSIM mentioned in this guide), as long as you make sure to turn data roaming off on your main SIM card.

Okay, that is enough background information – let's check what Airalo's options are in Bermuda.

Bermuda/Bermy Mobile 1 GB eSIM for 7 days, costing 7 USD
Bermuda/Bermy Mobile 2 GB eSIM for 15 days, costing 13 USD
Bermuda/Bermy Mobile 3 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 17.50 USD
Bermuda/Bermy Mobile 5 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 27 USD

Airalo Bermuda Bermy Mobile eSIM with Prices — See the list above for up-to-date prices and allowances. The figures in this image may be outdated.

Now, you may think this is a sad selection or that 1 GB of data is insufficient.

Both points are true… I agree – but you can make unlimited top-ups with the Bermy Mobile eSIM through the Airalo website or apps.

So if you need 5 GB of data, you can purchase the Bermy Mobile 1 GB eSIM and get four 1 GB top-ups.

Yes, it is a bit inconvenient for now; Airalo may offer 3 GB, 5 GB & 10 GB plans with a 30-day validity for the Bermuda soon, as it did for many other countries it supports.

Be aware: most travel eSIMs, including Airalo's Bermuda Bermy Mobile eSIM, are data-only eSIMs, so you cannot call or text with them (nor can you receive any calls or SMS).

Hopefully, that is not a dealbreaker because the Bermy Mobile eSIM is the cheapest eSIM mentioned in this guide.

The main issue with the Bermy Mobile eSIM is that it has only one option: 1 GB for 7 days.

But you can make unlimited top-ups with the Bermy Mobile eSIM through the Airalo website or apps.

So if you need 5 GB of data, you can purchase the Bermy Mobile 1 GB eSIM and get four 1 GB top-ups.

Yes, it is a bit inconvenient for now; Airalo may offer 3 GB, 5 GB & 10 GB plans with a 30-day validity for Bermuda soon, but we have to be patient now.

And you know that I would purchase multiple top-ups because I use a lot of data when traveling and testing eSIMs 🤪.

But… do I not often say that local SIM cards or eSIMs are cheaper than any other option, including travel eSIMs?

Yep, that is true (and you have a good memory!) – but you will have to deal with Bermudian SIM card registration laws.

(Why does this matter? Because hackers can steal your (critical) personal data if the mobile operator does not secure your data properly, like what happened in Australia (10 million Optus customers were affected, where info, like passport numbers, were stolen (including mine – luckily not my passport number but my boyfriend was not as lucky) or Indonesia (1.3 billion SIM card-related data was hacked)).

Anyway, the Airalo Bermuda Bermy Mobile eSIM is an affordable option to stay connected in the country.

Holafly eSIM for Bermuda

Holafly is one of the many travel eSIM resellers out there, but it is one of the few that I recommend.

It started with selling, in my opinion, overpriced travel SIM cards before entering the eSIM market with (reasonably priced) eSIMs.

But any resellers pop up every week trying to sell the same service for more cash for themselves while offering zero customer service (which is why you only see me recommend a handful of eSIM providers… ones I have tested myself).

So why do I recommend Holafly?

Mostly because it started offering unlimited data plans for popular travel destinations as of June 2022, giving it some uniqueness.

Those eSIMs can be used in various East– and Southeast Asian countries, almost all European Union member states (except for Liechtenstein) & a few other countries, like Canada and the United States.

Unfortunately, unlimited data eSIMs are not available in Bermuda.

But Holafly did not cover Bermuda until recently…. so one step at a time 😜.

Unlike the Airalo Bermy Mobile eSIM, you have a few more options with Holafly for Bermuda, which I will list below:

Bermuda 3 GB eSIM for 7 days, costing 37 USD – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
Bermuda 7 GB eSIM for 15 days, costing 44 USD – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
Bermuda 15 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 54 USD – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers

Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in December based on data up to the 30^th of December (2023 data only).

Holafly Bermuda eSIMs — See the list above for up-to-date prices and allowances. The figures in this image may be outdated.

The Holafly Bermuda eSIM uses the Digicel Bermuda network, one of the country's better networks.

As expected, you cannot use 5G NR (yet) with the Holafly Bermuda eSIM, nor can you call and text (it is a data-only eSIM).

Moreover, you cannot top up or extend the validity with the Holafly Bermuda eSIM – so you need to buy another eSIM when you are out of data, or the eSIM expires; you have to purchase a new one.

Holafly is working on top-ups, but it has been working on it for a while now… so keep your expectations low

On the other hand, you can use your phone as a hotspot with your Holafly Bermuda eSIM (which you cannot do in countries with unlimited data eSIMs).

On top of that, you can get 5% off each and any Holafly purchase (so it does not have to be the Bermuda eSIM) when you use code PHONETRAVELWIZ 😏.

Okay, but why did I rank Airalo higher than Holafly?

It is because if you use less than 7 GB of data, getting multiple top-ups for the Airalo Bermy Mobile eSIM is cheaper than getting a Holafly Bermuda eSIM.

Only if you use more than 7 GB of data will Holafly be cheaper.

However, you can use up to 500 MB of data per day with any Holafly Bermuda eSIM for some reason.

So if you want to use your data freely, the Airalo Bermy Mobile eSIM will be a better option.

But honestly, with the relatively slow data speeds in Bermuda, you have to try hard to hit your 500 MB limit in the country, lmao.

Anyway, use code PHONETRAVELWIZ for your Holafly Bermuda eSIM and get 5% off!

International eSIM for Bermuda & More Caribbean Countries

Okay, I went over the Bermuda travel eSIM options offered by Airalo and Holafly.

As expected, these eSIMs can only be used in Bermuda and not in other Caribbean countries.

So what if you plan on visiting any of those countries, or you are on a world tour and wish to use one eSIM in multiple countries – do you have any other options?

Yes, you do. Holafly have regional, global & international eSIMs covering at least 80 countries; some include Bermuda too.

If you see names that you do not recognize because they have not been mentioned in this guide, it is because they either do not cover Bermuda or the prices are criminal – I want you to save money, not get robbed 🗿.

So let's see which multi-country eSIMs can be used in Bermuda and other countries, including Bermuda's neighbors.

Holafly Caribbean eSIM for Bermuda

Holafly recently ~~introduced~~ upgraded the Caribbean eSIM, covering 16 countries with ~~6 GB~~ 7 GB of data for 15 days, costing 54 USD/57 EUR/49 GBP/84 AUD/74 CAD.

Below is an overview of all the countries the Holafly Caribbean eSIM can be used:
