Coverage and networks

The island of Saint Martin has two sides: the French north, also called Saint Martin, and the south, Sint Maarten, which belongs to the Kingdom of the Netherlands. This eSIM is made for the French side and runs on the Orange network. Other local operators include Dauphin Telecom. In Marigot, Grand Case, Orient Bay and the other towns on the French side you get 4G, plus 5G in Marigot. On higher ground or in remote spots the signal can be weaker, as with any operator. Networks: Orange.

For a beach holiday of one or two weeks, 3 to 5 GB covers maps, WhatsApp and sharing photos. If you share a lot of video or work while travelling, choose 10 GB or more.

The French side is an EU outermost region, so EU roam-like-at-home applies to plans from EU countries, although your operator may cap your EU data. Sint Maarten, the Dutch side with the main Princess Juliana airport, is outside the EU, and even on the French side your phone can connect to its networks without you noticing.

Frequently asked questions

Does an eSIM work in Saint Martin?

Yes. Our eSIM gives you instant mobile data in Saint Martin on the local networks, with no roaming fees. Your phone needs to support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked.

How much data do I need for Saint Martin?

It depends on your trip. For mostly maps and messaging, 1 to 3 GB is plenty. If you use navigation, social media and some streaming, plan for roughly 1 GB every two to three days.

How fast do I get my eSIM?

Right after payment. You receive a QR code on screen and by email immediately. It is best to install it at home over Wi-Fi before you leave.

Do I keep my own phone number?

Yes. Your own SIM stays in your phone for calls and texts. The eSIM runs alongside it, purely for mobile data in Saint Martin.

What is the cheapest eSIM for Saint Martin?

The cheapest eSIM for Saint Martin at esimzu starts from €1,99, with a lowest-price guarantee. You pay in euros by Bancontact, card or crypto and receive the eSIM instantly by QR code, with no app or physical SIM card.

Does EU roaming apply in Saint Martin?

Yes, for plans from EU countries. The French side is part of the EU, so roam-like-at-home applies there, subject to your operator's fair use limits. Check how your operator lists the island in its roaming zones, because the two sides fall under different rules. If your plan is from outside the EU, for example the UK or the US, check your own roaming terms, and consider an eSIM if you need more data than your home plan includes.

What about the Dutch side, Sint Maarten?

Sint Maarten is not part of the EU, so EU roaming rules do not apply there and your operator may charge roaming fees. The island is small, so even on the French side your phone may pick up a network from the Dutch side. Set the eSIM as your data line and turn off data roaming on your home SIM, so your home SIM does not use mobile data on a non-EU network.

Does the eSIM work on the Dutch side and at the airport?

This eSIM is made for the French side and uses the Orange network. On Sint Maarten, including Princess Juliana airport, coverage is not guaranteed. Install the eSIM before you leave home and it connects to Orange automatically once you reach the French side. Download offline maps if you plan to explore the Dutch side too.
