Haiti eSIM

Yes, as long as you have an eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked iPhone. That covers the iPhone XS, XR and every model since, including the SE (2020) and newer. After buying you'll get a QR code by email; scan it in Settings to load your Haiti travel eSIM, then keep your normal SIM active for calls and texts. Because it's a data-only plan, you get mobile internet in the main cities while your usual number stays on your primary line. If you're unsure whether your iPhone is unlocked, dial *#06# to find your EID, or ask your carrier. Our 24/7 support team can confirm compatibility before you travel.

It works on most recent eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked Android phones. That includes the Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, the Z Fold and Z Flip range, Google Pixel 3 and later, and many other 2019-onward flagships. Older or budget handsets sometimes lack an eSIM chip, so check your model's specifications first. Installing is simple: scan the QR code we email you to add the Haiti eSIM, then set it as your data line while keeping your physical SIM for your normal number. You'll have prepaid data ready the moment you arrive. If you're not certain your phone supports eSIM, our support team can verify it before you leave home.

Your Haiti travel eSIM connects to Digicel, Haiti's largest mobile network by a wide margin. That gives you 4G/LTE data in Port-au-Prince, Cap-Haïtien and the other main population centres. There's nothing to configure manually: once you scan the QR code and arrive in Haiti, your phone registers on the Digicel network automatically and your prepaid data begins. Because it's data-only, you'll use this connection for maps, messaging, email and calls over WhatsApp, while your home number stays on your primary SIM. Having your own working data from the moment you arrive matters more in Haiti than in most destinations.

Digicel is the strongest network in the country, with 4G in Port-au-Prince, Cap-Haïtien and the larger towns. That said, Haiti's infrastructure faces real challenges: power cuts and network congestion can affect service even in the cities, and rural and mountain areas often have slow or no coverage. Treat connectivity as generally good in the cities but not guaranteed everywhere or at every hour. Download offline maps and keep important documents saved locally. If your travel is work-related, a larger data plan plus hotspot makes a dependable backup where fixed internet is unreliable.

It takes just a few minutes. After purchase we email you a QR code. On your phone, open Settings, choose to add an eSIM or mobile plan, and scan that code to install it. We strongly recommend doing this on Wi-Fi before you fly, so you land already set up. The plan won't start counting down yet: your validity and prepaid data only begin when the eSIM first connects to the network after you arrive in Haiti. Once you land, enable the eSIM as your data line, switch on data roaming for that line, and turn roaming off on your home SIM. Your phone connects automatically. If anything looks off, our 24/7 support can walk you through it.

Yes, and for Haiti we strongly recommend it. Install the eSIM at home over Wi-Fi as soon as your QR code arrives by email, so you walk out of the airport already connected — queuing at a SIM kiosk with your luggage is exactly what you want to avoid in Port-au-Prince. Installing is not the same as activating: your data allowance and validity period only start when the eSIM first connects to the local network in Haiti, not when you scan the code. You have up to 180 days between purchase and first use, so you can set it up well in advance without losing a single megabyte.

For most travellers, yes. Haiti appears on almost no carrier's included-roaming list, so UK, EU and US plans charge premium per-megabyte rates there, and an extended family visit or work assignment on roaming can produce a very large bill. A prepaid Haiti eSIM gives you a fixed price upfront with no surprise fees. Wholesale data costs in Haiti are genuinely higher than in most of the region, which our pricing reflects honestly — but a known prepaid cost still beats open-ended roaming, and you can add a top-up at any time if you run low rather than overbuying upfront.

Yes to both. This is a data-only eSIM, so it doesn't make native calls or send SMS, but everything you'd actually use works over the internet: WhatsApp calls and messages, FaceTime, iMessage and other VoIP apps all run on your prepaid data — and WhatsApp is how Haiti communicates day to day. Your usual phone number stays active on your physical SIM thanks to dual-SIM, so people can still reach you and apps tied to your number keep working. Set the eSIM as your data line and turn data roaming off on your home SIM to avoid your carrier's charges. That way you stay reachable while the Haiti eSIM carries all your mobile internet.

Yes, personal hotspot and tethering are supported, so you can share your Haiti eSIM connection with a laptop, tablet or a colleague's phone. Just switch on the hotspot in your phone's settings as you normally would. Keep in mind that anything connected to your hotspot draws from the same prepaid data allowance, and shared devices — especially laptops on video calls — can use it up quickly. Fixed internet and power can be intermittent in Haiti, so a hotspot from a 5GB or 10GB plan is often the most dependable connection available. If you expect to tether regularly, choose a larger plan up front and top up if you run low.

The best eSIM is one that's ready before you land, runs on the country's strongest network and is clear about what you pay upfront, which is exactly what the GulfData Haiti travel eSIM offers. You get data on Digicel, Haiti's largest network, covering Port-au-Prince, Cap-Haïtien and the main towns, with instant QR activation you can install before you fly. There are no roaming fees and no surprise charges. It keeps your normal number active on your primary SIM, supports hotspot sharing, offers top-ups if you need more data, and works on recent eSIM-capable iPhones and Android phones. Backed by 24/7 support before and during your trip.
