    On a dual-SIM phone, keep your home carrier SIM active for calls and texts. Set your HelloRoam eSIM as the data line in Bahamas. You stay reachable on your regular number while saving on data costs.

  5. Save emergency numbers offline

    Save local emergency numbers for Bahamas before you travel. Emergency calls work on any available network regardless of your data balance. Having numbers stored offline means you can always reach help.

On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!

Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
