Bonaire – known for its beautiful beaches, fabulous resorts & Klein Bonaire, meaning Little Bonaire in Dutch.
The territory is part of the ABC islands (Aruba, Bonaire & Curaçao) in the Caribbean and the BES islands (Bonaire, Sint Eustatius & Saba.
The island is also a popular cruise ship destination or stop.
To stay connected while in Bonaire, you certainly want to get yourself a Bonairean SIM card.
While you are already planning on how you will be flexing on Instagram, Facebook & Twitter, you should be aware that international roaming can be expensive.
If you do not watch out, the roaming bill will cost as much as your trip to Bonaire – or even more!
Luckily, one way to avoid excessive roaming bills is by getting a Bonairean SIM card.
Local SIM cards are the cheapest way to stay connected when abroad.
But how much do SIM cards cost in Bonaire?
You can get a Bonairean SIM card for 14 USD from Digicel and 16 USD with Flow/Chippie (formerly UTS) in their stores on Kaya Grandi. They are not sold at Bonaire/Kralendijk-Flamingo International Airport (BON).
Does that sound pricey? Maybe – even for Caribbean standards.
But those rates will undoubtedly be lower than standard international roaming rates.
But there is much more to now than just prices.
In this guide, I will go over everything you need to know about buying a SIM card in Bonaire. Let's go.
Original publication: 13th of March 2020. Last updated: 30th of August 2023.
Table of Contents
Can You Buy a SIM Card in Bonaire?
You can buy a Bonairean SIM card from Digicel or Flow/Chippie (formerly UTS). There is nothing preventing travelers from buying a SIM card in Bonaire.
You do have to comply with the SIM card registration regulations.
Moreover, your phone has to support the frequencies used in Bonaire.
Finally, your phone needs to be unlocked (SIM-lock free) to use a Bonairean SIM card.
Where Can You Buy a SIM Card in Bonaire?
You can get a Bonairean SIM card in the official stores of Digicel and Flow/Chippie (formerly UTS) – both on Kaya Grandi (number 26 & 32). They are not available at Bonaire/Kralendijk-Flamingo International Airport (BON).
You can expect to pay the following for Bonairean SIM cards:
- Digicel Bonaire: 14 USD
- Flow/Chippie Bonaire (formerly UTS Bonaire): 16 USD
Can You Use Your Phone in Bonaire?
Bonaire uses GSM for their cellular communications, meaning that you need a GSM-capable phone to use your phone in the country. Fortunately, there is about a 99% chance your phone supports GSM.
Besides that, you need to be aware of the ITU Regions to determine whether your phone will work in other parts of the world.
Although there are 3 ITU Regions, you only need to know these two terms: American frequencies and European frequencies.
Africa, Asia (including the Middle East), Europe & Oceania (ITU Regions 1 & 3) typically use European frequencies, meaning phones bought in those regions can be used in countries using European frequencies without issues.
The Americas (North-, Central– & South America + the Caribbean), ITU Region 2, use American frequencies, which are different from the European frequencies.
Bonaire uses a mix of American frequencies and European frequencies for 3G. 2G and 4G/LTE are exclusively on European frequencies.
If you bought your phone in the Americas (ITU Region 2) and have a low/medium-end device (without Tri-Band or Quad-Band) support, you want to go with Flow/Chippie Bonaire.
It support a traditional American frequency on 3G (850 MHz).
While the coverage on 850 MHz is usually extensive, compared to higher frequencies, your speed will be slower than if your phone were to support 2100 MHz (the other 3G frequency used by Digicel Bonaire and Flow/Chippie Bonaire).
If you purchased your phone in Africa, Asia, Europe, or Oceania (ITU Regions 1 & 3) and have a low/medium-end device (without Tri-Band or Quad-Band) support, you can go with any mobile operator.
You should not experience any issues, except for the fact that your 3G reception with Flow/Chippie Bonaire may be weak at times.
Suppose you have a medium/high-end device with Tri-Band or Quad-Band support. In that case, you can go with any mobile operator, as your phone will support both American frequencies and European frequencies, even on 4G/LTE.
Mobile Operators, Networks & Frequencies in Bonaire
Bonaire has two mobile operators offering prepaid serivces easily accessible to travelers:
- Digicel Bonaire
- Flow/Chippie Bonaire (formerly UTS Bonaire)
The following frequencies are used in Bonaire:
- 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
- 3G: 850 MHz & 2100 MHz
- 4G/LTE: 1800 (Band 3)
You can learn more about frequencies in the video below.
To check whether your phone will work in Bonaire, check out this page by Kimovil or this one by Will My Phone Work (outdated, unfortunately, but extremely user-friendly – useful for phones launched in or before 2019. It does not check for 5G NR compatibility).
Again, make sure your phone is unlocked. Otherwise, you will not be able to use any SIM card except the one from your home operator (meaning you have to roam internationally or buy another unlocked phone that does support the frequencies listed above).
If you want to learn how international roaming works, this guide explains it in-depth. If you wonder why it is often so expensive to roam, this article explains the hidden reason they do not want you to know.
VoLTE & VoWiFi in Bonaire
Both VoLTE (Voice over LTE (4G) – also known as HD Voice) and VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi – also known as WiFi calling) are not offered by the mobile operators in Bonaire (yet).
This means that when you make a call, your phone will downgrade to 3G (or 2G when 3G is not available) instead of staying connected to 4G/LTE.
This is also why you often cannot use mobile while calling if not connected to WiFi.
VoWiFi is, as the name implies, calling on a WiFi connection as opposed to on a cellular network.
5G NR in Bonaire
5G NR is not available in Bonaire as of 2022, and the Bonairean government has not made any indications of when they will auction 5G licenses.
Best SIM Card in Bonaire
If you want to buy the best SIM card in Bonaire, I recommend going with Digicel or Flow/Chippie (formerly UTS). Both mobile operators have good coverage and have equally fast speeds. The main difference is the type of plans they offer and the prices charged (which are rather similar).
Best eSIM in Bonaire
Unfortunately, none of the mobile operators offer eSIM to prepaid customers in Bonaire yet.
Note that the Bonairean mobile operators require your identification (passport) for (future) eSIMs and physical SIM cards (will be discussed later).
However, you can also get a travel eSIM from various eSIM providers.
The list below is not exhaustive – many more providers have eSIMs for Bonaire.
But these are the ones I have tried and had pleasant experiences with.
Moreover, they are reasonably priced, which I find very important (you will not see me recommending an eSIM I would not buy myself).
So here are the two best eSIMs for Bonaire:
- Airalo Bonaire Hatonet eSIM with one 1 GB option
- Airalo Island Hopper eSIM with one 1 GB option (covers 24 Caribbean countries at higher prices and just 1 GB of data)
Because this is the SIM card buying guide for Bonaire, I will not spend too much time about travel eSIMs here and throughout this guide (but I will still do here and there).
If you want to learn more about the best eSIMs for Bonaire, you better check out my Bonaire eSIM buying guide.
It is as helpful and comprehensive as this guide but about eSIMs instead 😜.
SIM Card Registration in Bonaire
SIM card registration with your passport information is mandatory in Bonaire. It will be done at the point of sale.
EU Roaming in Bonaire
Bonaire is a special municipality (bijzondere gemeente) in Caribbean Netherlands.
Caribbean Netherlands is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the Netherlands itself is part of the European Union (EU).
However, Caribbean Netherlands is not part of the EU nor the European Economic Area (EEA).
As a result, the EU/EEA Roam Like At Home roaming regulation does not apply to Bonaire.
Therefore, you should not expect to roam for free if you have an EU/EEA SIM card while traveling in Bonaire.
This also means that you can not roam for free in the EU/EEA with a Bonairean SIM card.
Bonaire Mobile Internet Prices & Insights
I usually like to start off by saying that mobile data is quite affordable in the Americas. Luckily, that can also be said for the Caribbean, although other regions in the Americas offer much lower data rates.
Only two territories/countries in the Caribbean, Guadeloupe & Haiti, have an average cost of 1 GB of data for less than 1 USD (but only 53 countries meet that requirement, so do not be upset yet).
But how expensive is mobile data in Bonaire? Is it expensive?
The average price for 1 GB of data in Bonaire is 4.71 USD, a bit higher than the Caribbean average of 4.44 USD. The world average is 4.07 USD.
As Bonaire is part of Caribbean Netherlands, it is often grouped with other territories of Caribbean Netherlands in research-related publications, including the one of Cable.co.uk, as shown below.
The 4.71 USD average is a figure I found out myself by doing my own calculations.
In terms of speeds, do not expect much in Bonaire.
Flow/Chippie Bonaire claims the maximum achievable download speed you can get is 20 Mbps.
Digicel makes no promises. And the 20 Mbps is the maximum speed, not the average.
With expensive SIM cards, great nationwide coverage, fair mobile download speeds, an average mobile data rates, you should have a smooth network experience in Bonaire.
Currency in Bonaire
Bonaire uses the US Dollar as its currency. Prices in this guide will be listed in USD.
For up-to-date USD:your currency (let's say Euro) exchange rates, use the Wise Currency Converter tool.
If your credit/debit card charges you foreign exchange fees, get yourself a Wise Borderless Account and Debit Card.
Their fees are MUCH lower than banks and credit card companies charge you (and Wise is transparent about their fees, unlike banks).
I have saved literal THOUSANDS of Australian Dollars and Euros, my main currencies, when using Wise abroad when traveling compared to my debit and credit cards.
Bonairean Prepaid SIM Cards
Below, I will guide you through Digicel Bonaire & Flow/Chippie Bonaire (formerly UTS), and go through:
- Background information
- Mobile coverage
- SIM card types, prices & availability
- Recharge/top-up information
- Combo plans, data plans & special packs (such as social media packs)
With that being said, let’s see what Bonaire has to offer to us.
Digicel Bonaire
Digicel Bonaire, just Digicel, is the largest mobile operator in Bonaire.
It ended Flow/Chippie's (formerly UTS) monopoly and managed to capture more than 70% of the island's market share.
Digicel, as a company, is active in many other Caribbean nations, Central America & Oceania.
Digicel uses the following frequencies:
- 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
- 3G: 2100 MHz
- 4G/LTE: 1800 MHz (Band 3)
This is what you will learn about Digicel:
* Coverage
* How to Get a Digicel SIM Card & SIM Card Price
* Topping Up Options & Methods + Balance Check
* Plans & Packages
* APN/Internet Settings
Coverage – Digicel Bonaire
Digicel has extensive coverage in Bonaire.
There are some areas in Bonaire where only 2G or 3G is available.
However, most populated areas are covered by 4G/LTE.
In contrast, Washington Slagbaai National Park is an area where you should not expect any coverage at all.
Below is Digicel's coverage map produced by Speedtest:
SIM Card Price – Digicel Bonaire
You can get a Digicel SIM card for 14 USD with 10 USD credit in the Digicel store on Kaya Grandi (number 26). They are not available at Bonaire/Kralendijk-Flamingo International Airport (BON).
You may have to call 146 to activate your Digicel SIM card if your SIM card does not work upon purchase.
Dial *129# to see your Digicel phone number.
Dial *135# to access the Digicel menu.
- Find out how much SIM cards cost in every country, including data-only SIM cards and tourist SIM cards, offered by each mobile operator + information about starter benefits (lookup tool)
Digicel has no eSIMs.
Note that the Bonairean mobile operators require your identification (passport) for (future) eSIMs and physical SIM cards.
Therefore, if you wish to get an eSIM for Bonaire (without personal detail capturing), you can get the Bonaire (Hatonet) eSIM from Airalo with (1 GB of data for 7 days – top-ups are available).
Airalo has an eSIM for the Caribbean: Island Hopper. The Island Hopper eSIM can be used in 24 Caribbean countries.
The Island Hopper eSIM is not as valuable as other Airalo regional eSIMs (like Asialink for Asia, Eurolink for Europe & Latamlink for Latin America) because you only have one variant: 1 GB for 7 days, but top-ups are available (the -link eSIMs have at least four variants, up to 100 GB of data for 180 days, making top-ups often unnecessary).
The Island Hopper eSIM can be used in the following 24 Caribbean countries:
- Anguilla
- Antigua & Barbuda
- Aruba
- Bahamas
- Barbados
- Bonaire
- British Virgin Islands
- Cayman Islands
- Curaçao
- Dominica
- French Guiana 1
- Grenada 2
- Guadeloupe
- Haiti
- Jamaica
- Martinique
- Montserrat 2
- Panama
- Puerto Rico
- Saint Kitts & Nevis
- Saint Lucia
- Saint Vincent & the Grenadines
- Trinidad & Tobago
- Turks & Caicos Islands
1 the Latamlink eSIM covers French Guiana too – it has better options than Island Hopper (1 GB/7 days, 2 GB/15 days, 3 GB/30 days & 5 GB/30 days) in Central- and South America. However, if you do not visit those regions and stay in the Caribbean only, then stick with the Island Hopper eSIM instead
2 on 3G only
With the Island Hopper eSIM, you can save a lot of money by skipping the initial SIM card costs per country you visit in Latin America!
I am working with Airalo to turn the Island Hopper into a -link so that it offers you better value.
For now, you still have an eSIM covering almost all of the Caribbean, which is neat :).
