Why use an eSIM in Sint Maarten?
Sint Maarten is the Dutch side of an island shared with French Saint Martin, known for cruise-ship-friendly Philipsburg and the famous plane-watching beach at Maho. A local Sint Maarten eSIM keeps you connected at local rates during your visit without the expensive roaming fees Canadian carriers charge for Caribbean travel.
Common Questions
Does a Sint Maarten eSIM also work on the French side (Saint Martin)?
Coverage depends on the specific plan and network, since both sides share one small island, coverage often extends across the whole island, but check plan details to confirm before relying on it exclusively on the French side.
How much data do I need for a Sint Maarten trip?
A smaller to mid-size plan is typically sufficient for a week of messaging, navigation, and light browsing.
Does a Sint Maarten eSIM work on other Caribbean islands?
No. A Sint Maarten eSIM covers Sint Maarten only. Each Caribbean destination requires its own plan.
Can I keep my Canadian number while using this eSIM?
Yes, but to avoid any roaming charges, turn your Canadian carrier line off entirely in your phone's cellular settings before you land. Disabling data roaming alone isn't enough on its own, so do not use Airplane Mode, as this disables your eSIM too. Use your eSIM for all data, and use WhatsApp, FaceTime, or iMessage for calls and messages. If you need to receive an OTP or two-factor text, turn your Canadian line on briefly, then off again. When you return home, turn it back on and everything returns to normal.
