Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use my Grenada eSIM on other Caribbean islands?

No, Grenada-specific eSIM plans only work within Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique. For island hopping to other Caribbean nations, you'll need a Caribbean Regional Package or separate plans.

Will my eSIM work during Carnival (Spicemas)?

Yes, but expect slower speeds due to network congestion during major events. The networks handle the increased load well, but data speeds may be reduced in crowded areas.

Is there coverage at the underwater sculpture park?

You'll have coverage on the boat and at the surface, but obviously no signal underwater! Most dive operators have WiFi on their boats for sharing photos after your dive.

How's the coverage for sailing around Grenada?

Coverage is good in coastal waters around the main islands. Signal strength decreases as you move further offshore. Most popular anchorages have decent coverage.
