Stay connected with eSIM while in Aruba
I’m surprised by how many people are still unaware of eSIM.
If you own a mobile device released in 2018 or later (check if your device is listed here) then congratulations! You can now use eSIM in Aruba !!!
What does it mean ?
With eSIM, you can enjoy the following benefits while in Aruba:
- No extra roaming charges: You won’t have to pay additional fees for using your US, Canada, Europe, or any other international SIM card in Aruba.
- No need for local SIM cards: There’s no need to search for a local mobile provider, remove your current SIM card, and install a local SIM card. Everything can be done right on your device.
- Cost-effective solution: eSIM costs just a fraction of what you would pay for traditional roaming. It’s even cheaper than getting a “local SIM” because you won’t have to spend around $20 on a SIM card activation.
- In Aruba, you can get 1GB of data for only $9.50 for a 7-day period (or even cheaper if you choose “Island Hopper” package). Moreover, you can top up your data at any time, day or night.
What do you need :
To use eSIM in Aruba, here’s what you’ll need:
- Mobile device with eSIM support: Ensure that your mobile device is capable of supporting eSIM functionality.
