Frequently asked questions.
Answers to common setup and buying questions.
How much data should I buy?
Start from how you'll use the connection. The 1 GB, 7-day plan at €4.46 is the cheapest option and suits light map and message use when photos and videos stay on Wi-Fi. A 3 GB plan comes with 7, 15 or 30 days of validity, all at €13.02; if your trip runs about 14 days, the 15-day plan fits, and a stay of 2 weeks is the natural cut-off. A one day outing doesn't change the math, since the shortest validity sold is 7 days, so size the plan to your whole holiday. Larger 5, 10 and 20 GB plans cover heavier browsing and streaming. No single plan is the best value or best price for everyone; the right pick depends on your days away and your data use.
Which network will the eSIM connect to?
Listed networks: Flow Dominica. Connects to 4G/LTE where available. 5G is not confirmed on this plan. Speeds and signal vary with your phone, location and network conditions. This is the operator your eSIM will connect to.
Can I share the connection as a hotspot?
The listed networks support hotspot. Any device you connect draws from the same data allowance. Switch off laptop updates and cloud backups when you want to stretch the data, and only turn on a data hotspot for devices you actually need. Tethering eats into the allowance quickly.
Does this plan include calls, texts or a phone number?
It's data only, so there's no local phone number and no standard calls or SMS. You can still message and call over the internet with apps like WhatsApp, or stream YouTube and browse. If a driver needs a regular phone call, use a separate calling service or your home SIM under its own carrier terms.
How do I check my phone and install the eSIM card?
Your exact iPhone or Android model and its regional variant must support eSIM and not be carrier-locked, so run the online compatibility check before you buy. An eSIM is a virtual SIM card that installs through the phone's settings on iOS or Android. Install over reliable Wi-Fi and follow the supplied steps, keeping the QR code open on another screen if you need it. Installation is usually quick, but treat any 'instant installation' wording as a convenience claim rather than a guarantee, and leave time to sort problems before you travel.
When does validity start, and can I top up?
Follow the activation and validity instructions that come with your chosen plan. Installing the eSIM and the start of its validity are not necessarily the same moment, so don't assume your days begin when you download the profile. Before you rely on a top up, check what your order actually offers; buying another plan does not automatically extend this one or roll unused data forward.
How do I stop my home SIM from roaming?
Set the travel eSIM as your mobile data line and switch off automatic data switching. Keep data roaming off on your regular SIM, and apply any roaming setting only to the travel line itself. Calls and SMS on your home line still fall under your own carrier's charges.
Is this for Dominica or the Dominican Republic?
Tourists sometimes confuse the two, but these offers cover Dominica only and won't work in the Dominican Republic or any other island on an onward itinerary. Check the country name on your travel booking and the plan before you buy.
What if mobile data won't connect?
Confirm you're in Dominica, the travel line is switched on and set for data, and the plan still has allowance and days left. Apply the roaming and APN settings you were sent. Toggle airplane mode off and on, or restart the phone, then try another spot for service. Keep the profile installed while you seek help and have your order reference and phone model ready.
Where do I check help and refund terms?
Use the help details that come with your order and keep the installation information and order reference to hand. Read the purchase and refund conditions before you buy, since eligibility can hinge on activation and usage. Don't delete the eSIM profile while a connection problem is still being looked into.
Using your eSIM around Dominica
A Dominica data plan sized to your trip
Use the connection to confirm your airport pickup, find your Roseau accommodation and check the next day's plans with your guide or family. The features worth comparing are the data allowance, the validity in days and hotspot support. This offer covers Dominica only, so don't confuse it with the Dominican Republic.
Nine prepaid data plans run from 1 GB for 7 days at €4.46 up to 20 GB for 30 days at €85.74. Among the 15-day options, a 3 GB plan costs €13.02, and 10 GB for 30 days at €42.96 leaves room for photo backups and internet calls. Pricing is for a fixed total allowance, not a daily amount, and 30 days is not always the same as one month. These are one-off plans with no monthly subscription and no contract, but read the purchase terms rather than treating that as a promise. What counts as affordable, or the best price for you, depends on how the cost sits against the rest of your trip.
Plan for gaps in coverage
Listed networks: Flow Dominica. Connects to 4G/LTE where available. 5G is not confirmed on this plan. Speeds and signal vary with your phone, location and network conditions. Mountain roads, rainforest trails and individual buildings can all cut into signal quality, so don't expect the best coverage in every valley. Download your hiking route before you set off and arrange return transport while you still have service.
kept close at hand.Roseau, Dominica
Roseau: land at the right airport.
Dominica is served by two airports, Douglas-Charles and Canefield. Send your host the airport shown on your ticket, your flight number and your accommodation pin so the pickup goes to the right arrival point.
Canefield sits about 15 minutes from Roseau, but Douglas-Charles is roughly an hour away and needs a different road transfer. Don't fix a meeting time from the landing time alone; confirm where you'll meet the driver and save that message before you board.
Once in Roseau, keep the accommodation entrance and your return pickup point handy. Save booking confirmations as downloaded files, since an email link alone can be hard to open when reception drops.
Save before you goFlight number, airport name, driver's contact and a saved address for your first night.
Sort the route before you enter the forest.
Morne Trois Pitons National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the island's main outdoor draws. Use your connection ahead of time to agree the exact trail with your guide, check the weather and confirm where the day starts.
A name on a map won't tell you if the outing suits your group, whether that's a family or solo hikers. Ask about walking time, gear and current trail conditions before you commit, and keep the guide's instructions beside your downloaded map rather than depending on live navigation inside the forest.
Extra gigabytes won't fix a weak signal. Hold off on large photo uploads, carry enough battery for the return and tell your accommodation when to expect you. Lock in transport home before you leave the meeting point.
Save before you goYour chosen trail, the guide's instructions, current weather and return transport details.
