Skip the airport SIM counter. An Aruba eSIM from LinkPaLS installs from a QR code, needs no ID, and connects in Aruba the moment you turn off airplane mode.

## Using your phone in Aruba

The main gateway is Queen Beatrix International (AUA). Scan your Aruba eSIM QR code at home, then switch the line on when the plane lands, and you can message your hotel or driver straight away.

For transport, travelers rely on local taxis with fixed zone fares. Your eSIM coverage follows the places people actually go, from Oranjestad, Palm Beach and Eagle Beach to the roads between them.

The main language is Dutch and Papiamento, so a camera-translate app is worth having on mobile data. Prices are in Aruban florin, and your bank's one-time codes still arrive on your home SIM.

### Before you travel

- Arikok National Park and the north coast are rugged and remote, so download a map before you head out in a jeep.

## Comparing your data options in Aruba

|  | LinkPaLS eSIM | Local SIM card | Home roaming |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Set up | At home, before you fly | On arrival, at a shop or kiosk | Already on |
| ID needed | None | Usually a passport | None |
| Your home number | Stays on | Removed while the SIM is out | Stays on |
| Cost | Fixed, paid once | Low, but only after arrival | Often the most expensive |
| Best for | Most travelers | Long stays with a local number | Very short emergency use |

A local SIM can be cheaper on a long stay, but it means a shop visit, often a passport check, and your home number goes dark. For a holiday or business trip to Aruba, the Aruba eSIM wins on time.
