BVI eSIM — Tortola, Virgin Gorda and Jost Van Dyke
A BellRoam British Virgin Islands eSIM gives you mobile data across the British Virgin Islands without buying a SIM on arrival. Receive the QR code by email, install it before you fly and switch it on when you land in Tortola.
Network and coverage
| Network | Digicel |
| Strong coverage | Road Town on Tortola, Cane Garden Bay, Spanish Town on Virgin Gorda and the main anchorages |
| Weaker spots | Anegada, small cays and open water between the islands |
The network shown on each plan is the one your eSIM connects to.
Which plan should I choose?
- A week on Tortola: maps, messaging, ride-hailing and social media fit in a small total-data plan.
- Two weeks sailing the islands: choose a mid-size plan if you navigate all day, upload photos or share a hotspot.
- Remote work or lots of video: pick the largest plan and use Wi-Fi for big downloads.
eSIM, local SIM or roaming?

Tips for the British Virgin Islands
- Near the US Virgin Islands your phone may switch to a US network; select Digicel manually if data stops.
- Download charts and weather before leaving port; signal fades between some islands.
Visiting more than the British Virgin Islands?
