Antigua and Barbuda travel data guide
A Antigua and Barbuda eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Antigua and Barbuda that you install before you fly. Plans in Antigua and Barbuda run on FLOW, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 7 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 3 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $12.99. Unlimited plans are listed too, each with its own fair use line. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on some of the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Visiting more than one country? The Caribbean eSIM covers Antigua and Barbuda and 24 other countries on one plan, from $6.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Antigua and Barbuda, not when you buy, so you can install it at home days early. For a week of maps, messaging and social apps, most travellers are fine with 3 to 5 GB. Video calls or streaming need more, or an unlimited plan. Travel data in Antigua and Barbuda from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Antigua and Barbuda FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Antigua and Barbuda?
It connects wherever FLOW has signal, which is the same network local customers use. The eSIM is data only.
When do my days start?
On the first connection in Antigua and Barbuda, not at purchase. The plan selected above (1 GB) runs for 1 day from that moment. You can install the eSIM at home and the clock stays still until you connect.
Do I get a local phone number in Antigua and Barbuda?
No. The eSIM is data only. Your own SIM stays in for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working over the eSIM data.
Can I share data with my laptop?
Yes. Hotspot sharing is supported on the plan selected above, so your laptop or tablet can use the eSIM data through your phone.
Is there a fixed data eSIM for Antigua and Barbuda, or only unlimited?
There is one fixed plan for Antigua and Barbuda, 1 GB for 1 day. Everything else is unlimited, in lengths of 1, 3, 7, 15 and 30 days. If you want a small amount of data spread over a week, that option does not exist here, so the 7 days unlimited plan is the closest fit.
Is it 4G or 5G in Antigua and Barbuda?
Plan on 4G in Antigua and Barbuda. The operator on these plans is FLOW, listed as 4G. Some plans are labelled 4G/5G, but we would not buy one expecting 5G on your phone.
Will I get a local phone number with this eSIM?
No, the eSIM for Antigua and Barbuda is data only and comes without a phone number. Calls and SMS stay on your own SIM, and WhatsApp keeps working on your usual number over the eSIM's data.
When do the days start counting on my plan?
The days start when the eSIM first connects to a network in Antigua and Barbuda. Buying or installing it does not start the clock. You can install over WiFi at home and the plan waits until you arrive.
Do I need WiFi to install the eSIM?
Yes, install it over WiFi, ideally at home before you leave for Antigua and Barbuda. The phone downloads the eSIM profile from the internet when you scan the QR code, so it needs a working connection at that moment.
Can I share my data with another phone in Antigua and Barbuda?
Yes, hotspot is allowed on all Antigua and Barbuda plans. On unlimited plans the shared usage counts toward the same 3 GB per day of full speed data, so two people streaming will reach the slower speed sooner.
What can I still do after the 3 GB daily amount is used?
After 3 GB in a day the speed drops to at most 1 Mbps until the daily reset. Messaging, email and maps remain usable at that speed. Video calls and streaming will struggle, so save those for hotel WiFi on heavy days.
How do I top up if I run low?
Open My eSIMs, pick this eSIM and choose a top up. It goes onto the same eSIM, so there is no new QR code to scan.
