Use a Bahamas eSIM for instant travel data
The Bahamas is a nation with many islands, conservation areas, hiking trails, and some of the world’s greatest dive locations.
During your Bahama vacation, you’ll probably want to use your phone for sharing pics, checking maps, making reservations, booking excursions, and maybe video-calling with family back home.
Enjoy steady mobile data with a downloadable Bahamas SIM card, otherwise known as a Bahamas eSIM. (eSIM stands for ’embedded SIM.) It takes two minutes to install, and you can use it to get prepaid Bahamas data.
How much travel data do I need with my Bahamas eSIM?
You can’t always count on a free Wi-Fi connection in the Bahamas. So when you’re outside your hotel, you might need mobile data to keep your phone connected.
You can avoid roaming charges by using a prepaid Bahamas data package. Start with a single 7-day/1 GB data package, and add more if it’s needed during your time in the Bahamas.
We also have a travel data calculator to help you estimate how much data you’ll need for your trip.
Will I pay roaming charges with a prepaid eSIM for the Bahamas?
You can avoid roaming charges completely with a Bahamas eSIM.
You can install your Bahamas eSIM (digital SIM card) while you have a strong internet connection (either at home, or while already travelling), and then activate your prepaid Bahamas data package when you’re ready to use it.
To avoid roaming charges on your primary SIM, please make sure you’ve turned off Data Roaming on your primary SIM (and confirmed you aren’t enrolled in a carrier travel plan) to prevent your home carrier from adding roaming charges to your next bill.
