Bahamas travel data eSIM
What is a Bahamas eSIM?
A Bahamas eSIM lets you explore the archipelago without swapping SIM cards. Arrive in Nassau or hop on a ferry to the Exumas and stay connected for maps, bookings and local apps. Install the profile before you leave, then enjoy data‑only service as soon as you link to a Bahamian network.
In the Bahamas the eSIM connects to the BTC 4G network. Data is allocated according to the plan you choose and is deducted only when you are actively using it on the islands. The plan’s validity period begins on the first connection and runs for the number of days purchased.
Local networks
Which networks you connect to in Bahamas
When you activate the eSIM in the Bahamas it registers on BTC 4G’s infrastructure. The network’s reach depends on BTC’s own towers and the specific island you are on, so you’ll have access wherever the operator provides service. This lets you use navigation, messaging and booking apps throughout your stay.
5 plans are available for Bahamas, from $16.90 up to $215.90. Every plan is data only, delivered by QR code, and starts counting when you connect on arrival.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operator does the Bahamas eSIM use and what does that mean for a traveller?
The eSIM uses BTC 4G. This gives you access to the same mobile network that local residents use, so you can browse, use apps and stay in touch just as they do while you are on the islands.
Can the Bahamas eSIM be used in a neighbouring country such as Cuba?
No, the plan is limited to the Bahamas. If you need service in Cuba or other nearby nations, consider a regional multi‑country eSIM that covers several destinations.
Which plan size suits a trip to Nassau and Freeport?
As a rough guide, a 5 GB or 10 GB 30‑day plan usually provides enough data for navigation, bookings and everyday app use when traveling between Nassau and Freeport.
Will I lose my own phone number?
No. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls and WhatsApp. The eSIM only carries data, so both work side by side.
When does my plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy it. So you can install it days before you fly without losing any time.
Is my phone compatible?
Most phones from 2018 onwards are: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, you have eSIM. Full list on our Device Compatibility page.
How fast will I get my QR code?
Usually within a couple of minutes of payment, by email. If it has not arrived, check spam first, then write to us and we will resend it immediately.
Can I use hotspot or tethering?
Yes, on every plan we sell. Share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or the rest of your group.
What if I change my mind?
If you have not installed the eSIM, you get a full refund within 180 days. Once a profile is activated and data has been used it cannot be refunded — the allowance is consumed from the network. Full detail in our Refund Policy.
Do you sell plans for groups?
Yes. For Umrah and Hajj groups, student trips and tour operators we deliver the QR codes as a single batch before departure, at group rates. Email us with your group size and destination.
