Martinique is a French overseas department sitting in the middle of the Caribbean: the currency is the euro, the road signs are in French, and most visitors end up driving, because public transport outside greater Fort-de-France is limited. A normal week means driving south from the capital to the beaches at Sainte-Anne one day and north to Saint-Pierre and Mont Pelée the next, two halves of the island that feel nothing alike. Data earns its keep on the mountain roads, where signposting is sparse, and on the morning run into town, where the traffic is genuinely heavy.

A driving trip here runs at roughly 800MB to 1.5GB a day, because turn-by-turn navigation stays on for most of the daylight hours, on top of looking up restaurants and booking boat trips. Add video calls home or an upload every night and it lands nearer 2GB a day.
The gateway is Martinique Aimé Césaire International (FDF) at Le Lamentin, a few kilometres from Fort-de-France. By sea there is the cruise berth in the capital and the inter-island fast ferry to Guadeloupe, Dominica and Saint Lucia, which leaves from the passenger terminal in Fort-de-France. The crossing people use daily is the vedette across the bay from the city waterfront to Les Trois-Îlets. Switch the line on at the airport, because collecting a rental car and finding your way out of Le Lamentin needs the map immediately.
Service is dense across the central urban belt and the south coast: Fort-de-France, Schoelcher and Le Lamentin down through Sainte-Luce to Sainte-Anne, and around the yachting harbour at Le Marin. It genuinely thins on the climb up Mont Pelée, along the cliff road on the northern Atlantic coast towards Grand-Rivière, out on the Caravelle peninsula, and on the long coastal hiking route on the eastern side known as the Trace des Caps. Download the map before you head north.

Do not assume so. Martinique is a French overseas department and part of the European Union, but travel plans sold as a Europe region usually cover countries on the European continent and do not automatically include Caribbean overseas territories. Open the plan's territory list and look for Martinique by name; if it is not there, pick a plan that names it. A SIM issued by an EU operator is a separate case, and that one is a question for your home provider.
If you want to see the whole island, nearly everyone rents a car: the bus network is built around local journeys in and near the capital, not around beach-hopping in the south and then driving north on the same day. If you would rather not drive, the workable version is to stay at Les Trois-Îlets or Sainte-Anne and rely on walking plus the boat across the bay, with a driver hired by the day for the trip north — which you can arrange ahead by message.
Both lose service in patches, one because you are high on a volcano and the other because ridgelines shadow a cliff road. Download the map for the northern half of the island in advance, save the trailhead parking and the route name before you leave your accommodation, and plan to be back before dark: cloud comes down on the summit in the afternoon, and finding the path down in fog without an offline map is a situation worth avoiding.
Not necessarily. Each island here is a separate territory as far as networks go, and even Guadeloupe, which is also France, is counted separately in many plans. Check the plan's territory list against every island you intend to stop at before you travel; if it does not cover them all, a multi-country plan is the simpler answer from the start. Mid-crossing you will be out of range anyway, so save your ticket and your accommodation address to the device before boarding.
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.
