No pocket Wi-Fi or SIM counter to find when you land in Bahamas, and nothing to return before you fly home. The eSIM is installed before you leave.
Share with your laptop
Hotspot is allowed on the plan selected above, so a second device can use the same data in a cafe or a hotel room.

Bahamas travel data guide
A Bahamas eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Bahamas that you install before you fly. Plans in Bahamas run on BTC, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 16 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 10 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $14.99. 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.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Bahamas, 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 Bahamas from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Bahamas FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Bahamas?
It connects wherever BTC 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 Bahamas, not at purchase. The plan selected above (3 GB) runs for 15 days 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 Bahamas?
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 1 GB enough for a week in the Bahamas?
For most people 1 GB will not last a full week in the Bahamas unless the hotel WiFi does the heavy work. It covers maps, messages and light browsing. If you plan to post video or make calls over data, a 7 day unlimited plan with 1 GB or 2 GB of full speed data per day is the better fit.
Should I pick the 1 GB or the 2 GB daily unlimited plan for the Bahamas?
Pick the 2 GB per day plan for the Bahamas if you share data with another device or make video calls, and the 1 GB one if you mainly message and use maps. Both slow to up to 1 Mbps after the daily amount, and both reset the next day.
Will my bank's SMS codes arrive in the Bahamas?
Bank codes sent by SMS arrive on your home SIM, not on the Bahamas eSIM, because the eSIM has no number. Leave your home SIM switched on for texts and keep its data roaming off. Check with your carrier what receiving texts abroad costs.
Should I install my Bahamas eSIM before I fly?
Yes, install the Bahamas eSIM at home on WiFi. Installing does not start the plan. The days begin only when the eSIM first connects to a network in the Bahamas, so there is no downside to having it ready a few days early.
Can I keep my home SIM active alongside the eSIM?
Yes, your home SIM stays active next to the Bahamas eSIM on any phone that supports eSIM. Use the home line for calls and texts and the eSIM line for mobile data. Turn off data roaming on the home line so your carrier does not bill you for data.
Why has my data slowed down in the Bahamas?
On an unlimited Bahamas plan, data slows to up to 1 Mbps once you pass the daily full speed amount of 1 GB or 2 GB. Full speed returns the next day. If you are on a fixed plan and data has stopped entirely, the 1 GB allowance is probably used up.
What if the eSIM does not connect when I land in the Bahamas?
First check that mobile data is set to the eSIM line and that data roaming is on for that line. Then restart the phone. If the Bahamas network still does not appear, email support, which answers seven days a week, and include the email address you ordered with.
How do I top up if I run low?
The plan selected above does not offer top ups. Buy a new plan from this page instead and install it as a second eSIM.
