Travel eSIM Bonaire

Traditional calls and SMS aren’t part of our Bonaire eSIM packages - they’re strictly data/internet. To talk or text, use internet based services (WhatsApp, Messenger, etc.) with your eSIM data.

Absolutely! You can install your Bonaire travel eSIM up to 30 days before departure. Installing early means it will automatically activate once you land.

Rest assured, installing before you leave won’t start your data or count down your plan days until you arrive in Bonaire.

If you see an activation error on iPhone when installing before arriving, you can ignore it-learn more in our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide.

No, these eSIMs only provide data access and do not assign you a phone number. To make calls, you will need to use internet based apps such as WhatsApp or Messenger.

Your eSIM will activate automatically when you land in Bonaire. However, we recommend installing the Bonaire Travel eSIM beforehand (activation happens on arrival).

Simply scan the QR code provided or install the eSIM via the ZenSim app while on WiFi. Once you touch down in Bonaire, the eSIM will go live.

Trouble activating? See our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or contact us for help ☺️

The eSIM activates when you touch down in Bonaire - if you’ve already installed it, it should connect automatically.

Installing while already in Bonaire works too; it will start as soon as you complete setup.

If you experience connection issues, check our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or reach out to our support team.

Using a travel eSIM trumps roaming in Bonaire - here’s a quick rundown:

Significant Savings: Pay local Bonaire rates instead of exorbitant roaming prices set by your home carrier.

Convenient Switching: No swapping SIM cards - manage everything digitally from your phone settings.

Usage Clarity: Get real-time updates on data consumption, so you never get billed for data you didn’t need.

Data and plan days only kick in when you arrive in Bonaire. Installing earlier just prepares it for activation which happens automatically when you arrive in Bonaire.

Install over WiFi before your trip to get connected from the minute you touch down.

If you have trouble connecting, see our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or message us for assistance.

Definitely! ZenSim supports eSIM usage in over 200 countries, so Bonaire is covered. If you need multi-country coverage, take a look at our regional eSIM options on the Travel eSIMs page.

Yep! 99% of our eSIMs can be topped up within the ZenSim app with just a couple of clicks. If you run out of data, need more days, or you even want to add a new destination to the same eSIM, you can do all of this in the top up section in the Zen Garden in the app.

Log into the app, navigate to the Zen Garden to find your Bonaire service, and you will see a button to up your eSIM right there.

Top up plan options: Bonaire top up plans are the same as the plans on the website except with a 10% discount!

Extending a long trip: If you're travelling to Bonaire for more than 30 days, you can add as many top ups as you need to your first eSIM to extend the days and data you have. Each top up will only take effect when the previous eSIM is expired so you can purchase the top ups any time you want without worrying about overwriting your existing plan.

Multi country top ups: You can now add multiple countries to most of our eSIMs via top up, so if you're in Europe for example and are stopping over in Dubai on the way home, you can add a Dubai top up to your Europe eSIM so you don't need to reinstall anything. Alternate country top ups will only activate when you arrive in the new country.

Once activated in Bonaire, your eSIM typically won’t function outside that country.

If you're planning to hop between countries, we recommend checking out our regional Travel eSIMs - they’re made for multi-country use and cover most major regions.

Very true! Not only that, you can refer as many people as you like to buy our Bonaire eSIM, you'll earn a A$5 voucher for each referral - and they will also save A$5 on their order.

There's a couple of things to be aware of, firstly they have to be a new customer for this to apply, and you as the referrer can only use one A$5 voucher per order if you happen to refer a whole lot of friends.

You can view your referral performance and grab your referral URL in the ZenSim app. Visit our terms for more info.

Our Bonaire unlimited plans include a 3GB daily allowance, which is more than enough for most people - average daily usage tends to sit under 1GB.

If you happen to use more than that in a day, your speed gets limited to 1Mbps until midnight, at which point your full-speed allowance kicks back in.

This only applies to unlimited plans - if you've chosen a fixed-data plan like 10GB or 20GB, there's no daily throttling at all, just use it freely until it runs out. We'll let you know before that happens, and you can top up in seconds via the ZenSim app.

It won't activate the moment you buy it - your Bonaire eSIM won't touch your data or days until you actually arrive, so there's no downside to installing it in advance.

As long as it's installed beforehand, it'll activate itself the second you touch down, and that's the moment your plan officially begins.

As for running out - your eSIM expires once your data or days are gone, whichever comes first (just the days, if you're on unlimited). Buy a 30-day plan and it'll run out 30 days after arrival in Bonaire, not 30 days after purchase.

Simplest way is to pop your phone into our eSIM compatibility checker - it'll tell you straight away whether it's good to go with our Bonaire eSIM and the networks behind it.

If you're still unsure after that, get in touch with us and we'll help you figure it out. And just in case your phone isn't compatible after all, our refund policy means you'll get a full refund - so go ahead and grab a plan without the worry.

We've got a 100% money back guarantee for exactly this kind of situation.

That covers trip cancellations, phones that turn out not to be eSIM-compatible, or just a change of plans that means you no longer need it.

Our full refund policy spells it all out, but the short version is: unable to install or use the eSIM means a full refund, every time.
