The best eSIM for Grenada is a data plan sized to your days there, installed on Wi-Fi before you fly. A SimOptions Grenada eSIM does that: it runs on 4G/LTE on the Flow network, activates when you land in Grenada and comes in sizes from 1 GB for 3 days to 20 GB for 15 days. It has no Grenadian phone number, so you call through WhatsApp or FaceTime. Staying longer or sailing on to other islands? A Caribbean plan lasts 30 days. Need a local number? Digicel Grenada sells prepaid plans with local calls included.

What to look for in an eSIM for Grenada
- Coverage: check that Grenada is on the plan's country list. A Grenada plan suits a trip that stays in Grenada. On a cruise or a sailing trip through the islands, see the Caribbean section below.
- Data and days: both are on the plan page. Grenada plans last up to 15 days. For a longer stay, a Caribbean plan lasts 30 days.
- Speed: our Grenada plan details list 4G/LTE speed.
- A local number: most travel eSIMs are data-only. If you must call hotels, taxis or dive shops on a normal Grenadian number, a local carrier fits better.
- Setup before you fly: you get a QR code by email and install it on Wi-Fi at home. Your phone must support eSIM and be unlocked (see how to check eSIM compatibility).
How much data do you need in Grenada?
These are the sizes on our Grenada eSIM page, with what each one lasts:
- Grenada 1GB and 3GB: 1 GB or 3 GB for 3 days. A long weekend or a cruise stop.
- Grenada 5GB and 10GB: 5 GB or 10 GB for 7 days. A week with maps, messages and photos.
- Grenada 20GB: 20 GB for 15 days. Two weeks, with some video.
If you run out of data, top-ups are available. Not sure how much you need? Pick the bigger size. Our guide to eSIM data plans shows how to estimate it, and how to reduce data usage abroad helps you make it last.
Which network does a Grenada eSIM use?
Our Grenada plans connect to Flow. You don't pick the network yourself: the plan's settings use automatic network selection, with data roaming turned on for the eSIM. The eSIM activates by itself when you reach Grenada, and you have 1 year to start using it.
Signal still varies by place, whichever eSIM you use. It can be weak in the mountains of the interior, in quiet bays or out at sea on a boat trip. Download offline maps before you head out (Google Maps: download areas offline).
Local SIM plan or travel eSIM?
Grenada's carriers sell their own plans too. Digicel Grenada lists prepaid Prime Ultra plans from 1 to 30 days, with data, unlimited local calls and local SMS, and some with minutes to the USA and Canada (Digicel Grenada: prepaid plans). They give you a Grenadian number, which starts with +1 473 (Government of Grenada: Fast Facts). Digicel's prepaid page doesn't mention eSIM, so check with Digicel how you get the line before you count on it.
A travel eSIM is different: you buy it online, scan a QR code at home and have data the moment you land at Maurice Bishop International Airport, without looking for a store on arrival.
Choose a local plan if you need a Grenadian number and minutes for local calls. Choose a travel eSIM if you want data the moment you land, and a plan you can compare and pay for before the trip. You can keep your home number active next to it (Apple: Using Dual SIM with an eSIM), see how to set up a dual eSIM.
Travel eSIM or roaming with your home carrier?
Most readers of this guide come from the USA, with others from India, the UK, Australia and Canada. Before you travel, check whether your home plan includes Grenada and what it costs per day or per gigabyte. Apple's advice is the same: check with your carrier whether international roaming is included or sold as a travel pass (Apple: Use eSIM while traveling). If it isn't included, a data-only travel eSIM is usually the simpler choice. We compare both in international roaming vs travel eSIM.
Which eSIM for St. George's, Grand Anse or Carriacou?
You don't need a different eSIM for each place. The country of Grenada is three islands: Grenada itself, with Carriacou and Petite Martinique (Government of Grenada: Fast Facts). A Grenada plan is for that whole country, from St. George's and Grand Anse to Grand Etang, Grenville and Gouyave. If you take the boat to Carriacou or Petite Martinique, expect signal to vary more on the small islands and on the crossing.
The usual data uses on a Grenada trip are maps, messages, taxi and dive bookings and photos. These need little data, so a 10 GB plan may be enough for a week. Video calls, streaming and uploading beach or diving videos use much more, so go for 20 GB on a two-week trip.
Cruising, sailing or staying longer?
A Grenada plan works in Grenada only. If your trip goes on to other islands, or you stay longer than 15 days, a Caribbean plan is the better fit: it lasts 30 days and its coverage list includes Grenada, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint Lucia, Barbados, Dominica and Antigua and Barbuda, among others. In Grenada it uses Flow, like the Grenada plans. Check the country list of the plan for every stop before you buy, because not every Caribbean island is on it. Going to St. Vincent and the Grenadines only? There is also a St. Vincent and the Grenadines eSIM.

How do you get an eSIM for Grenada?
- Check your phone: it must support eSIM and be carrier unlocked. On iPhone, go to Settings > General > About and look for "No SIM restrictions" next to Carrier Lock (Apple: Unlock your iPhone).
- Buy and install on Wi-Fi: you get a QR code by email. Our install guide walks you through it.
- Turn on the eSIM when you land: turn on data roaming for the Grenada eSIM, and use it as your data line so your home line doesn't run up roaming charges. Our guide to the correct roaming settings for an eSIM shows how.
