## Networks

- Aruba: SETAR (4G)

## Which Aruba eSIM plan do I need?

Pick your plan by the number of days you stay and how much you stream, scroll or use maps.

- **A long weekend in Oranjestad:** 3 GB for 15 days gives you room for messages on WhatsApp, maps and a few videos.
- **A week touring Palm Beach and Eagle Beach:** 5 GB for 30 days is the plan for social media, music and some video.
- **A fortnight exploring Arikok National Park:** 10 GB for 30 days gives maps, messages and some streaming room for two weeks.
- **A month-long stay:** 20 GB for 30 days suits a long stay with plenty of streaming and maps.

Every plan can be [topped up](/help/top-up-esim), so you can add data mid-trip if you need it.

## Will my eSIM have signal in Aruba?

Your eSIM connects to SETAR, the local network in Aruba, and it runs on 4G. Your phone picks SETAR on its own, so there's nothing to choose. Turn on [data roaming](/help/turn-on-data-roaming) in your phone's settings and you're ready to message on WhatsApp or check your maps.

Your data reaches the internet through Europe. That's a normal setup for travel eSIMs, and [this page explains what it means for your IP address](/help/ip-address-another-country). On daily plans, speeds slow to a basic level once you've used that day's allowance.

## Using your phone in Aruba: landing, data and WhatsApp

- **Landing at Queen Beatrix (AUA):** Install your eSIM at home on Wi-Fi, switch it on when you land, and [turn on data roaming](/help/turn-on-data-roaming) for the eSIM line. Your line runs on SETAR's 4G network.
- **Getting around:** Light use, with maps, messages and email, is about 0.25 GB a day, so a day in Oranjestad or a trip out to Arikok National Park is easy on your allowance.
- **Staying in touch:** WhatsApp is the messaging app to have ready. Your home number stays on for calls and texts. To keep WhatsApp working with it, read [this guide](/help/keep-whatsapp-and-home-number).
- **Data for your trip:** Standard use, with social media, music and some video, is about 0.7 GB a day. Heavy use, with streaming and hotspot, is about 1.8 GB a day. Every plan can be topped up, so you can add data during your stay.

## Questions

### How much is an eSIM for Aruba?

Aruba eSIMs start at £19.99 for 1 GB over 7 days. A 5 GB plan for 30 days costs £84.99. Prices include any taxes and show in pounds, euros or dollars.

### Which networks does the Aruba eSIM use?

Your eSIM connects to SETAR in Aruba. Your phone picks the strongest signal automatically.

### When does my Aruba eSIM start?

Most plans start the moment your eSIM first connects to a network in Aruba, so you can buy and install it at home before you fly. Install it within 180 days of buying.

### Can I top up my Aruba eSIM?

Yes. Most Aruba plans can be topped up from your eSIM page in two taps, with no new QR code. The plan table on this page shows which ones.

### Why does my IP address show another country?

Aruba plans route your data through Europe, a normal setup for travel eSIMs. Websites and apps may show that country's content; your speed and coverage in Aruba are not affected.

### Does it come with a phone number?

Every eSIMology plan is data only. Keep your own SIM switched on for calls and texts, and use WhatsApp, FaceTime or any calling app over your eSIM's data.

### What if my plans change?

Cancel an eSIM you haven't installed within 30 days for a full refund to your card, in two taps from your eSIM page.

### Is there 5G in Aruba?

No. SETAR, Aruba's network, runs on 4G, so that's the signal your phone will show. Seeing 4G at the top of your screen is normal here, so there's nothing to fix.

### Can I use WhatsApp in Aruba on my eSIM?

Yes. WhatsApp is the messaging app to use in Aruba, and your chats and photos travel over your eSIM data. It's the easiest way to tell family you've landed.

### What should I do when I land at Queen Beatrix (AUA)?

Before you touch down at Queen Beatrix (AUA), switch your eSIM on, pick it as your mobile data line and turn on data roaming. Then you can message home and check your maps.

### What happens to my data once my daily allowance runs out in Aruba?

If your plan has a daily allowance and you've used it up, your eSIM slows down, so video on the beach is off the menu. Save big downloads and updates for your hotel's Wi-Fi.

### Can I get directions in Arikok National Park?

Yes, but download offline maps and save your route before you head into Arikok National Park, so you have directions whatever your signal is doing. Then enjoy the park without checking your phone every few minutes.
