How to verify eSIM support on your device

1. iPhone: Settings → Cellular → look for "Add eSIM" or "Add Cellular Plan". You can also dial *#06# , if you see an "EID" (32-digit number), your phone has eSIM hardware.
2. Android: Settings → Connections (or Network & Internet) → SIM Cards → look for "Download a SIM instead" or "Add eSIM".
3. EID check: most eSIM-capable Android phones show EID in Settings → About Phone → Status.

Tip: Even if your phone supports eSIM hardware, it must be unlocked (not carrier-locked) to use third-party eSIMs like Cellesim. Most phones bought outright are unlocked; phones from carrier instalment plans may require unlocking after the contract is paid off.

Almost every flagship smartphone released since 2019 supports eSIM, making it ideal for international travel. Compatible models include iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, plus a growing list of mid-range devices. If your phone has Settings → Cellular → "Add eSIM", you're ready to use a Cellesim plan abroad.

Travellers benefit most from eSIM because it eliminates the airport SIM-card queue, removes the need to swap your home SIM out, and lets you keep your usual phone number active for SMS verification. A Cellesim travel eSIM activates the moment you land , no shop visit required.

4. Android version: Android 9 or newer typically supports eSIM, though it depends on the manufacturer.

Tip: if your current phone doesn't support eSIM but you travel often, an unlocked, mid-range eSIM-capable phone (e.g., Pixel 7a, iPhone SE 3, Samsung Galaxy A55) makes an excellent secondary travel device , pair it with a Cellesim plan and you have a full mobile internet kit for any destination.

Perbedaan penting: Tidak. eSIM seluler standar bergantung pada menara di darat. Saat kapal Anda berlayar di tengah lautan, Anda berada di luar jangkauan menara tersebut. Namun, eSIM akan berfungsi sempurna segera setelah kapal berlabuh di pelabuhan di Nassau, Freeport, atau mendekati pulau-pulau tersebut. Ini adalah cara terbaik untuk menghindari paket Wi-Fi satelit mahal dari jalur pelayaran saat Anda menjelajahi pelabuhan. 

Ya, biasanya. Sebagian besar pulau pribadi perusahaan pelayaran (seperti Perfect Day at CocoCay milik Royal Caribbean atau Castaway Cay milik Disney) berlokasi di kepulauan Bahama dan dilindungi oleh menara seluler lokal Bahama. eSIM kami terhubung ke jaringan lokal (BTC/Aliv), memungkinkan Anda berbagi foto pantai dari surga pribadi ini tanpa membayar Wi-Fi kapal. 

 Untuk memastikan Anda memiliki jangkauan di lebih dari 700 pulau, eSIM kami terhubung ke penyedia utama di negara tersebut: BTC (Perusahaan Telekomunikasi Bahama) atau Aliv. Aliv terkenal dengan infrastruktur LTE modernnya, terutama di "Family Islands" (Out Islands), sementara BTC memiliki cakupan lama yang kuat di Nassau dan Grand Bahama. 

Ya. Exuma Cays adalah daya tarik utama. Meskipun cakupan sinyal sangat baik di Staniel Cay (tempat babi berenang berada) dan Great Exuma, harap perkirakan ada kesenjangan sinyal saat berada di speedboat yang melakukan perjalanan di antara pulau-pulau kecil yang tidak berpenghuni. Anda akan mendapat cukup sinyal di halte utama untuk langsung mengunggah foto selfie Anda dengan babi. 

Biasanya tidak. Kecuali Anda memiliki "International Day Pass" tingkat tinggi tertentu, sebagian besar operator di AS mengenakan tarif $10 per hari atau tarif bayar per penggunaan untuk data di Bahama. ESIM Cellesim Bahamas adalah alternatif yang jauh lebih murah, memberi Anda sejumlah data dengan biaya satu kali, menghemat tagihan $70-$100 untuk liburan selama seminggu. 

Ya. Meskipun resor-resor besar ini menawarkan Wi-Fi, namun di area kolam renang yang luas atau di pantai, Wi-Fi bisa jadi bermasalah. eSIM kami menyediakan data 4G/LTE berkecepatan tinggi. Sangat cocok untuk tetap terhubung sambil bersantai di taman rekreasi air Atlantis Aquaventure atau berjalan di sepanjang Cable Beach, memastikan Anda memiliki koneksi pribadi dan aman di mana saja. 

Ya, tentu saja. Internet kapal pesiar mahal dan lambat untuk mengunduh paket baru. Kami sangat menyarankan untuk menginstal dan mengaktifkan eSIM Cellesim Anda sebelum Anda naik kapal atau saat Anda masih berada di bandara asal Anda. Ini memastikan ponsel Anda secara otomatis terhubung ke jaringan lokal saat Anda bangun di dok di Bahama. 

 Sebagian besar ponsel modern memilikinya, namun Anda harus memeriksa daftar spesifik kami di sini: Perangkat yang Kompatibel dengan eSIM untuk memastikan 100% sebelum membeli. 

Tidak, Uber dan Lyft tidak beroperasi di Bahama. Anda memerlukan data yang dapat diandalkan untuk menemukan nomor pengiriman taksi lokal di Google Maps atau untuk memeriksa rute bus umum "jitney". 

Ya. Cakupan di Harbour Island secara umum dapat diandalkan, memungkinkan Anda mengunggah foto pasir merah muda dan perairan biru kehijauan yang terkenal secara instan, meskipun sinyal mungkin turun saat naik feri dari Eleuthera.
