From a long weekend in Nassau to a month of island hopping, here is the plan to pick for four common Bahamas trips. - **A city break in Nassau:** Three days across Nassau and Paradise Island with social media and some video? Pick 1 GB a day for 3 days. - **A fortnight touring:** Two weeks taking in Exuma and Eleuthera with standard use? Pick 10 GB for 30 days. - **A month-long stay:** For a month of standard use, pick 20 GB for 30 days. - **A business trip to Freeport:** A week with work email, maps and a laptop on your phone's [hotspot](/help/hotspot-tethering)? Pick 2 GB a day for 7 days. Most plans can be topped up, so you can add data if your trip runs longer than planned. ## Will my eSIM have signal in the Bahamas? Your eSIM joins BTC, and your phone picks it up by itself the moment you switch on. BTC runs on 4G, which is plenty for maps, WhatsApp and ride apps. Nassau and Freeport are well covered, though signal can be patchier on remote Out Islands, so download offline maps before you head there. Your data reaches the internet through Europe, which is a normal setup for travel eSIMs; you can read more on the [IP address help page](/help/ip-address-another-country). Daily plans slow down after that day's allowance, so keep an eye on usage. ## Using your phone in the Bahamas: arrival and data tips - **Arriving:** Install your eSIM at home on Wi-Fi, then switch it on when you land at Lester B. Pearson (NAS) or Grand Bahama (FPO). BTC is the network you'll connect to, on 4G. - **Data roaming:** Keep data roaming turned on for your eSIM line, or mobile data stays off. [Here's how to turn it on](/help/turn-on-data-roaming). - **Staying in touch:** WhatsApp is the messaging app here, and your home number stays on for calls and texts. [Read how WhatsApp works with your home number](/help/keep-whatsapp-and-home-number). - **Topping up:** Heading between Nassau, Exuma and Eleuthera? Most plans can be topped up, so you can add more data mid-trip without buying a new eSIM. - **Fair use:** Once you've used your daily allowance, speeds drop to 512 Kbps, so it's worth keeping an eye on your usage. ## Questions ### How much is an eSIM for the Bahamas? Bahamas eSIMs start at £9.99 for 500 MB a day over 1 day. A 5 GB plan for 30 days costs £70.99. Prices include any taxes and show in pounds, euros or dollars. ### Which networks does the Bahamas eSIM use? Your eSIM connects to BTC in the Bahamas. Your phone picks the strongest signal automatically. ### When does my Bahamas eSIM start? Most plans start the moment your eSIM first connects to a network in the Bahamas, so you can buy and install it at home before you fly. Install it within 180 days of buying. ### Can I top up my Bahamas eSIM? Yes. Most Bahamas 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? Bahamas 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 the Bahamas 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 at Lester B. Pearson airport in Nassau? No, 5G isn't available in the Bahamas. Your eSIM runs on BTC's 4G network, so that's the connection to expect as you land at Lester B. Pearson (NAS) and head into Nassau. ### Can I use WhatsApp in the Bahamas on an eSIM? Yes. WhatsApp is the main messaging app in the Bahamas, and it runs on your eSIM's mobile data. Send messages and photos home from Nassau, Paradise Island, Freeport, Exuma or Eleuthera. ### How much data do I need for a week in Nassau? For a light week of maps, messages and email, about 1.8 GB is the starting point. Add social media, music and some video and it rises to about 4.9 GB. Streaming and hotspot use push a week to about 12.6 GB. ### Can I use my phone as a hotspot in the Bahamas on an eSIM? Yes, and hotspot use falls under heavy use in the Bahamas, at about 12.6 GB a week. If a laptop will join you often, choose a bigger plan so you have room. ### Will my eSIM slow down in the Bahamas if I use all my data? On a daily plan, speed drops to 512 Kbps once you've used your daily allowance. Save the heavy streaming for when you're on Wi-Fi, and your mobile data will stretch further.
