Curaçao is bigger than its neighbours in the group: Willemstad's painted waterfront is a UNESCO site, and dozens of small coves are scattered along the north-west coast that you have to drive yourself to reach. Four languages are genuinely in daily use — Papiamentu, Dutch, English and Spanish — so menus and signs often need translating. Most visitors also submit a digital arrival form before flying, which is much easier when the phone is already connected.

A normal trip lands around 700MB to 1.5GB a day, since you drive between coves with the map open, translate signs and menus, and post photos. If you dive and upload video every evening, budget closer to 2GB a day and more if you tether a laptop.
There is one airport, Curaçao International, still known locally as Hato (CUR), about fifteen minutes north of Willemstad. Passengers complete a digital arrival form online before travelling and should have their accommodation details ready. The other way in is by cruise ship, which berths at Otrobanda beside the old town. Switch the line on inside the terminal so you can arrange a car and open the map before you meet roads with very few signs.
Coverage is solid across Willemstad on both the Punda and Otrobanda sides, through Jan Thiel and along the resort-lined south-east coast. It thins towards the north-western end around Westpunt, on the tracks down to rocky coves such as Grote Knip, and inside Christoffel National Park, where the climb to the summit can leave you without service for a stretch. Download the trail area before you set off.

Usually not. Curaçao is a country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, but it sits outside the footprint of a standard European plan because it belongs to a different network region. Pick a plan that names Curaçao directly, or a Caribbean plan that lists the island among its covered territories, and check that list once more before buying.
Download the whole island map before you leave Willemstad, because the north-west has dirt junctions and very little signage. Note the names of the coves you are aiming for and the key turns in advance, fill the tank before leaving town, and tell your accommodation roughly when you expect to be back. Service normally returns once you rejoin a main road or approach a village.
Complete it before you travel on home or airport Wi-Fi; you do not need the destination plan to be running yet, since it only starts counting once the phone attaches to a network on the island. Save the confirmation as a screenshot or file on the device in case you are asked for it before you have signal, then switch the line on after landing.
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.
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.
