Question 1

Do I need an eSIM for Aruba?

Accepted Answer

If you want mobile data in Aruba without paying expensive roaming fees, a travel eSIM is the easiest option. You install it before you leave and it connects automatically when you arrive.

Question 2

Will my phone work with a Aruba eSIM?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as long as your phone is eSIM-capable and carrier-unlocked. Most phones from 2018 onward qualify (iPhone XR/XS and newer, recent Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel). Dial *#06#, if you see an EID, you're good to go.

Question 3

When does my Aruba eSIM start?

Accepted Answer

Your validity period begins the first time the eSIM connects to a network in Aruba, not when you buy it. Install it before you travel and it activates on arrival.

Question 4

Can I keep my phone number in Aruba?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The eSIM runs alongside your normal SIM and is data-only, so you keep your home number for calls and texts while using Umrah eSIM's eSIM for data in Aruba.

Question 5

Which mobile network does the eSIM use in Aruba?

Accepted Answer

In Aruba, your Umrah eSIM eSIM connects to Digicel on 5G. Your phone automatically selects the strongest available signal, and personal hotspot / tethering is supported.
