Frequently asked questions.
Answers to common setup and buying questions.
How do I select the right data plan?
For light maps and messaging on a short Tortola stop, the 1 GB plan runs 7 days at €3.99, the cheapest entry point. The 3 GB plans cost €12.59 for 7, 15 or 30 days, so a visit of 2 weeks, or 14 days, can use the 15-day version. Heavy uploads, YouTube or data hotspot sharing point to the 5 GB, 10 GB or 20 GB options, with the 20 GB plan running 30 days at €82.89. Pricing is flat per plan, so best value depends on your daily usage; the best price isn't always the smallest allowance. Match validity to your trip length for recommendations.
What networks and mobile technology does this eSIM use?
Listed networks: Flow British Virgin Islands. Connects to 4G/LTE where available. 5G is not confirmed on this plan. Speeds and signal vary with your phone, location and network conditions.
Will this eSIM work on nearby islands or at my connecting airport?
Coverage is limited to the British Virgin Islands. If you connect through the US Virgin Islands or Puerto Rico, those stops need their own plan or service. Check coverage separately for every territory outside this one, including any airport you pass through on your holiday route.
Is my phone compatible with this eSIM?
Your phone needs eSIM support and a network-unlocked status. Check the exact model and regional variant in the compatibility guide, which lists compatible phones. On iPhone, look for Add eSIM in the mobile settings and No SIM Restrictions under Settings, General, About; on Android, confirm eSIM support in the network or SIM settings for your model.
When is the best time to install and activate the eSIM?
Install over reliable Wi-Fi and save the instructions before you travel, using the QR code or other method supplied with your plan. Follow the activation steps, because installing the profile and starting the validity are not necessarily the same moment. Choose the travel line for mobile data once you reach the included destination.
Can I still receive messages and bank codes on my existing number?
Apps like WhatsApp can use this data connection for messages and calls. Ordinary calls and SMS are not included, and bank codes sent by text still depend on your regular SIM, bank and home carrier. Check any charges before leaving that home line enabled.
Is it possible to use this eSIM data on a laptop?
The listed networks support hotspot. Any device you connect draws from the same data allowance. Devices you share with draw from the same fixed allowance, so pause cloud backups and system updates before tethering a laptop.
Does the eSIM work during ferry or sailing trips?
Don't count on continuous reception at sea. Terrain, distance from shore, buildings and network load all affect service. Download tickets and route details before departure, and rely on the vessel's own navigation and safety equipment.
What should I do if I use up my data or the validity expires?
Buy another available plan if you need more data. There is no monthly subscription here; each plan is a fixed one-time purchase, and if you are searching for a no contract option, the purchase terms still apply. A new purchase doesn't automatically extend the existing allowance or carry unused data forward, so check whether a top up or profile reuse is available. Note there is no 1 day plan, so even a one day stopover buys at least 7 days of validity.
What should I troubleshoot if I have no internet connection?
Check that you're in the included territory, the travel line is turned on and selected for data, and the plan still has allowance and validity left. Follow the roaming and APN instructions for your plan, then try airplane mode or a restart. If it still fails, contact support with your location, device model and order reference, and leave the profile installed.
How can I prevent roaming charges on my home SIM?
Turn off automatic mobile-data switching and keep data roaming off on your regular SIM. Apply any required roaming setting only to the travel line. Calls and texts on the home line may still carry their own carrier charges.
Where are the support and refund conditions detailed?
Read the purchase conditions for support and refund eligibility before you buy the eSIM card online. Keep your order reference and installation details when you ask for help. Eligibility can depend on activation and use, so don't delete the profile while a connection issue is being looked into.
