Only on unlimited plans, and only past 3GB in a single day - which is a generous amount, considering most travellers use less than 1GB daily.
If you do go past 3GB, your speed will be limited to 1Mbps until midnight, when it resets and you're back to full speed again.
Fixed-data plans (10GB, 20GB, etc.) don't have any daily throttling - you're free to use your data at whatever pace suits you until the plan's used up. We'll flag it before you run out, and topping up takes just a couple of taps in the ZenSim app.
It won't activate the moment you buy it - your Sint Maarten 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 Sint Maarten, not 30 days after purchase.
Best way to find out is with our eSIM compatibility checker - just enter your phone details and it'll confirm whether it's compatible with our Sint Maarten eSIM and networks.
Not 100% sure, or getting an unexpected result? Contact us and we'll help sort it out. Worst case scenario, if your phone truly isn't compatible, our refund policy gives you a full refund - so there's no risk in trying.
We sure do - it's covered under our 100% money back guarantee.
Cancelled trip, incompatible phone, or your travel plans just changing - all of these situations qualify.
Check out our refund policy for the full details, but the bottom line is: if you can't install or use the eSIM, you'll get every cent back.
