Roaming/SIM/eSIM: If your home plan includes Caribbean roaming, roaming is the easiest option for a short stay but can be expensive without a travel package. A local SIM can be better value for longer stays if your phone is unlocked. eSIM may be the most convenient choice for many travelers because it can be activated before arrival, but availability and pricing depend on your device and provider. Compare roaming rates with local SIM and eSIM data packages before travel.
