eSIM für Nördliche Marianen

Wie viel Datenvolumen Sie tatsächlich brauchen

A typical trip uses about 500MB to 1.5GB a day, because navigation stays open while you drive, on top of messages and photos. If you upload dive video every night, budget nearer 2–3GB a day, and add more when everyone in the rental car is on your hotspot instead of their own line.

Nach der Landung

The main gateway is Saipan International (SPN) at Chalan Kanoa on the south of the island, with flights from Seoul, Tokyo, Manila and Guam. Tinian (TIQ) and Rota (ROP) have their own airports, reached from Saipan on short light-aircraft hops. Get your line running at SPN, since picking up a rental car and confirming a hotel transfer usually needs you online as soon as you clear the counter.

Wo sich die Abdeckung ändert

Signal is best along Saipan's west coast, from Susupe up through Garapan to San Roque, which is where the hotels and restaurants sit. It thins in patches up north around Marpi, at the coastal caves and cliff sites, and on the climb to Mount Tapochau. Tinian and Rota have service around the main villages of San Jose and Songsong but drop out along the quieter ring roads. The islands further north are essentially uninhabited, and you should not count on coverage there at all.

Städte, nach denen Reisende fragen

• Marpi: Saipan's northern tip, with cliffs and war memorials, and patchy signal.
• San Jose: Tinian's main village and the start of most drives around the island.
• Songsong: Rota's main village; quiet, with only a handful of shops and rooms.
