Which Caribbean islands are covered?

The plan includes Jamaica, the Bahamas, the Dominican Republic, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, Saint Lucia, Antigua and Barbuda, Grenada and other islands. Check the full list in the plan description.

Does the eSIM work during a Caribbean cruise?

The eSIM works when you are ashore, on each island included in the plan. On board the ship the connection depends on the onboard Wi-Fi. We recommend downloading offline content for the days at sea.

Can I use WhatsApp and social media?

Yes, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and all social media work perfectly. You can share photos of the Caribbean beaches in real time with friends and family.

What is the connection speed in the Caribbean?

In tourist areas and main cities 4G/LTE offers good speeds for browsing, social media and video calls. In more remote or less developed areas the speed may vary.

What is the time difference between the Caribbean and Rome?

The Caribbean is 5-6 hours behind Rome (6-7 hours in summer with daylight saving time). Keep the time difference in mind for calls and video calls with home.

How much does an eSIM for Caribbean cost?

eSIM plans for Caribbean start from €6.29. You pay once for the amount of data you choose — no subscription, no monthly fees and no hidden roaming charges. Plans with more data or longer validity cost more.

Is an eSIM or roaming better in Caribbean?

A local eSIM in Caribbean is almost always much cheaper than the roaming of your Italian operator. In the European Union roaming is often already included ("Roam Like at Home"), but outside the EU the costs can be very high — with an eSIM you know the price in advance and pay only for the data plan you need.

Can I keep my Italian number with the eSIM in Caribbean?

Yes. Your Italian SIM and number stay active — the travel eSIM works alongside it as a data-only line. You stay reachable on WhatsApp, iMessage or Wi-Fi while you use the local network to browse. Traditional calls and SMS still go through your Italian number.

Should I activate the eSIM before or after I leave?

Install the eSIM at home, on Wi-Fi, before you leave. The data plan then activates automatically when you connect in Caribbean. That way you are online as soon as you arrive, without looking for airport Wi-Fi or buying a local SIM.

Can I top up or renew the plan for Caribbean?

Yes. When the data runs out or the validity expires, just buy a new plan — the eSIM profile already installed is kept and does not need to be installed again. You stay connected without interruption.

Can I share the connection (hotspot) in Caribbean?

Yes. You can share the connection in Caribbean through a personal hotspot with a computer, tablet or other devices. Shared data is deducted from your plan, so allow a few extra gigabytes if you expect to use the hotspot often.

How many GB do I need for Caribbean?

For a normal trip, 1–3 GB a week is enough for maps, messages and occasional browsing. With social media and photo sharing allow about 5 GB; for streaming, video calls or a hotspot count on 10 GB or more. If the volume is not enough, you can buy an additional plan at any time.

Turquoise waters, white sand beaches, reggae rhythms and spicy flavours — the Caribbean is the tropical dream par excellence. From Jamaica to the Bahamas, from the Dominican Republic to Barbados, every island has its own unique personality. But staying connected during a Caribbean island-hopping trip can be complicated: every island state has its own operators, local SIMs are not always easy to find and roaming from Italy costs a fortune. With the Datiovunque eSIM for the Caribbean, a single plan covers the main islands of the archipelago, from departure to return.

Islands covered

Jamaica, the Bahamas, the Dominican Rep. and over 10 territories

Flight time from Rome

9-12 hours (often with a stopover in Miami, Madrid or London)

Time zone

5 to 6 hours behind Rome

Best season

December–April (dry season, ideal temperatures)

Why use an eSIM in the Caribbean

The Caribbean is made up of dozens of independent states and territories, each with its own mobile operators and rules for buying SIMs. Buying them locally can mean a taxi to the city centre, documents in English or Spanish and plans often designed for residents, not tourists. Roaming from Italy to the Caribbean is among the most expensive in the world: even a few megabytes can result in hefty bills. With the Datiovunque eSIM, everything is solved before departure: it is installed in a few minutes from Italy and as soon as the plane lands — whether in Montego Bay, Punta Cana or Nassau — the connection is already active. Perfect for anyone cruising with stops on several islands.

Going away for 1-2 weeks? Pick a plan with 3-5 GB for maps, photos and messages.

Business travellers

For video conferencing and email while travelling, we suggest at least 5 GB or an unlimited plan.

Backpackers

A longer trip is better served by 10+ GB, or by a regional plan that spans multiple countries.
