Antigua and Barbuda eSIM
Antigua and Barbuda is a two-island country where the connection between them is something you have to plan, since the ferry and the small aircraft each run only a few times a day. Taxis, boat trips and restaurant tables are mostly arranged in a short message rather than through a booking site, so data goes on confirming those arrangements and checking the marine forecast more than on navigation.

How much data you actually need
Around 500MB to 1GB a day covers messaging, maps and photo uploads. If you post video from the boat every day, budget nearer 1.5 to 2GB a day instead.
When you land
The main gateway is V.C. Bird International (ANU), just north of St John's, while Barbuda has the small Codrington airstrip (BBQ) for light aircraft. The alternative is the Barbuda Express ferry from St John's, roughly ninety minutes and cancelled when the swell is up. Cruise ships berth at Heritage Quay in the middle of town.
Where coverage changes
Service is steady around St John's, Jolly Harbour, Dickenson Bay and English Harbour. It thins across the interior of Barbuda, at the Codrington Lagoon where the frigate bird colony is, along the windward east coast, and in the middle of the channel between the two islands, where dropping out entirely is normal rather than a fault.
Cities travellers ask about
- St John's — Capital and cruise port, with the shops clustered by the quay.
- English Harbour — Home of Nelson's Dockyard, a World Heritage site and yacht base.
- Jolly Harbour — West coast resort area next to the beach and marina.
- Dickenson Bay — The busiest hotel beach on the north of the island.
- Codrington — Barbuda's only settlement, with limited services of any kind.
Apps to install before you fly
- WhatsApp for taxis, boat trips and restaurant tables
- Barbuda Express for the ferry timetable to Barbuda
- Windy for wind and swell before any boat day
- Google Maps with both islands saved offline

FAQ
Is there ride-hailing like Uber in Antigua?+
No. Getting around means licensed taxis, which work to published fixed fares by route. What people actually do is get a driver's number from their hotel, arrange each trip over WhatsApp and agree the price before getting in. If you want several stops in one day, hiring the same driver for the day usually costs less than booking each leg separately.
Can I visit Barbuda as a day trip?+
Yes, but the day is built around the ferry or the light aircraft schedule, and a sailing can be cancelled when the swell picks up. Book ahead, reconfirm on the morning itself, and carry cash and water with you, because there are few shops on the island and outside Codrington there is effectively nothing to connect to.
Which months are the hurricane risk here?+
The Atlantic hurricane season runs from early June to late November, with the most active stretch from August to October. If you travel then, take insurance that actually covers cancellation, follow the official meteorological bulletins rather than social media, and leave slack in the itinerary, since flights and ferries can be suspended a day or two before anything arrives.
When does a Antigua and Barbuda eSIM start counting days?+
Most plans here start when the phone first connects to a network at the destination, so you can install in advance at home and switch it on after landing. Each plan page states its own rule.
Do I have to remove my home SIM?+
No. The eSIM is a second line, so you keep your home number for SMS OTP. Turn off roaming data on the home line and set the eSIM as the data line.
