ALOOUI / CARIBBEAN TRAVEL

Choose for your complete Bahamas stay and the destinations you will visit next.

Product information checked 15 November 2026.

Plan your island stay

For a Nassau stay or cruise visit, estimate the mobile data you will use ashore. A longer island holiday needs a budget for every day outside reliable Wi-Fi, including transfers and excursions.

Check the exact islands and properties on your itinerary. The Bahamas country entry does not guarantee reception throughout Exuma, the Abacos, remote cays or a sailing route. Save tickets, accommodation addresses and return transport details offline before leaving reliable service.

Choose data for your travel days

The country product offers fixed 1GB/7 days, 2GB/15 days and 3GB, 5GB, 10GB, 20GB or 50GB/30 days. These are total amounts, not daily allowances. Fixed service ends when the allowance or validity runs out, without reduced-speed continuation.

Daily Unlimited Lite, Essential and Plus offer 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 or 15 days. Lite provides 1GB/day high-speed, then up to 512 kbps; Essential provides 1GB/day, then up to 1.25 Mbps; Plus provides 2GB/day, then up to 2 Mbps. High-speed data refreshes daily according to the selected plan’s reset terms. No fixed 100GB, 30-day Unlimited or Premium option is listed for this country product.

For an illustrative seven-day stay, 0.5GB/day plus a 20% buffer totals 4.2GB. That is a calculation, not a measured average or quoted package. Add anticipated uploads, video and supported hotspot traffic, then compare available allowances and current prices. Resort Wi-Fi can reduce mobile use, but plan around the hours when you will be away from it.

Networks and local reception

The Bahamas country product lists BTC and Aliv, up to 4G where available. Check the selected option’s supported partners and essential island locations. The listing does not establish universal coverage or 5G.

A country entry does not guarantee reception at every address, beach or indoor location. A larger allowance increases usable data rather than physical coverage. Check the exact purchased option if a particular operator, technology or property is essential.

One island, several islands or Global?

Compare the dedicated Bahamas product and separate coverage for any USA departure stay or other islands. Bahamas is outside the Caribbean regional list. A Global name or a cruise itinerary does not add Bahamas coverage.

The products named Global, Global Light, Global Standard and Global Max do not list these seven destinations: Aruba, Curaçao, Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Turks and Caicos, Antigua and Barbuda, and Grenada. Compare the exact product rather than treating all Global names as equivalent.

A wider plan can be worth comparing for two destinations or for four, five, six or more stops. You do not need a round-the-world trip. Every stop, the travel dates, the selected allowance and the total price must fit.

Cruise visits and sea days

Plan on supported land-network use ashore in explicitly included destinations. Do not rely on mobile reception throughout a ferry journey, offshore excursion or sea day. A listed island is not a promise of shipboard, maritime or satellite service.

Check your home carrier’s ship-network charges and keep unwanted roaming disabled. Follow the ship’s guidance for onboard Wi-Fi. Download excursion tickets and return-to-port details before leaving reliable connectivity. Once a country package is activated, sea days do not pause its expiry.

Sharing, numbers and setup

The country product is data only, with no new local number, ordinary calls or SMS. Internet calls and messages depend on connectivity and app availability. Confirm hotspot permissions and limits for the selected option; sharing uses the same data allowance and speed limits.

Install over stable Wi-Fi on an eSIM-compatible, carrier-unlocked device and follow your order’s instructions. The country product’s listed validity begins on supported connection in its destination, not installation alone. Check activation deadlines and expiry; leaving and returning does not reset validity.
