What to know about staying connected in Trinidad and Tobago

  • Digicel has a store at Piarco International Airport, open Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., and Saturday, 8:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. It is closed Sunday.
  • To start a Digicel plan you need a valid government-issued ID (your passport) and a phone that works on Digicel's network. The D' Weekly Classic plan gives 30 GB and 150 minutes for 7 days at TT$145, tax included.
  • Digicel lists no store at ANR Robinson Airport in Tobago. Its Tobago stores are at Shirvan Plaza and Port Mall in Scarborough, so buy your SIM at Piarco if you fly in through Trinidad.
  • Piarco International Airport has free Wi-Fi. A traveller reported in 2023 that bmobile sells and activates local SIMs at a kiosk right outside immigration.
  • Airalo's Trinidad and Tobago eSIM runs on Digicel and is data only, so use WhatsApp or similar apps for calls.
  • The Government of Canada warns that theft happens at traffic lights and in slow traffic, and advises never leaving phones and other electronics unattended.

How to set up your eSIM

Do this at home on Wi-Fi, a day or two before you fly, so you land connected.

  • To check if your iPhone is unlocked, go to Settings > General > About. If Carrier Lock says 'No SIM restrictions', it's unlocked. Only your carrier can unlock it.
  • An iPhone can store eight or more eSIMs. To add one from a QR code, scan it with the Camera app, tap 'Cellular Plan Detected', then tap Add Cellular Plan.
  • On arrival, choose which line your iPhone uses for data in Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data. If your home line stays on, you might still be charged roaming fees by your home carrier.
  • Data Roaming on iPhone is under Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options. It lets you use data on networks outside your carrier's coverage.
  • On Samsung Galaxy phones, add an eSIM in Settings > Connections > SIM manager > Add eSIM, by QR code or activation code. Even listed models may not support eSIM depending on country of origin.
  • Pixel 7 and later can use two eSIM profiles at once. Google suggests using a prepaid international eSIM and activating it when you arrive to avoid roaming charges.

Rogers and Telus charge $18 a day and Bell $16 a day for their daily roaming add-on in Trinidad and Tobago (CAD, before tax, as of March 2026). A 7-day trip comes to about $126 with Rogers or Telus.

How much is an eSIM for Trinidad and Tobago?

The cheapest plan we found was Airalo 1 GB for 3 days at US$8.00. For a typical week, Airalo Tritocom 3 GB / 7 days costs US$21 (prices checked September 30, 2026).

Will a travel eSIM give me a local phone number?

Usually not. Most travel eSIMs from Airalo and Yesim are data-only. Apps like WhatsApp still work over data, and you can keep your Canadian line switched on for texts, but calls or data on your Canadian line can trigger your carrier's daily fee.
