Is my phone compatible with eSIM?

Most modern smartphones support eSIM, including iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3+, Samsung Galaxy S20+, and many others. Check our compatible devices list to verify.

Will I keep my UK phone number?

Yes. Your iPhone or Android runs both SIMs at once , your UK number stays active for calls and WhatsApp, while the eSIM handles all your data in Antigua & Barbuda. Nobody needs to know you're abroad.

How much data do I need in Antigua & Barbuda?

For typical British travel usage , Google Maps, Uber, WhatsApp, Instagram, and the odd FaceTime , 1-2GB per day is plenty. Light users (maps + messaging only) need about 500MB-1GB per day.

Roaming in Antigua & Barbuda can cost €10-€15 per MB!

Since Brexit, EU roaming charges are back. UK carriers now add daily surcharges of £2-6 per day in Europe, and even more outside the EU , that adds up fast over a fortnight's holiday.

Data-heavy apps like Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube can consume hundreds of megabytes in minutes. Without an eSIM, your carrier's roaming fees could turn a simple social media session into a hundred-dollar expense.

Every year, travelers return home to unexpected bills of €200, €500, even €1,000 for just a few days abroad. Some carriers offer "travel passes" at €10-€15/day, but even those add up fast on longer trips.

With a prepaid eSIM data plan for Antigua & Barbuda, you pay a flat rate upfront. No nasty surprises on your bill when you get back. Just affordable, fast data from the moment you land.

Absolutely. Use your eSIM as a hotspot to share data with your laptop, tablet, or your mate's phone. Brilliant for family holidays and working remotely from a café in Barcelona.
