Getting online in Montserrat
Most international arrivals land at John A. Osborne Airport (MNI). Install your eSIM Montserrat on Wi-Fi before you fly and it connects as you taxi to the gate, so maps and messages work before you reach passport control.
To get around, most visitors use local taxis and the ferry from Antigua. Your eSIM works across the country, including Little Bay, Brades and the volcano viewpoints, wherever partner networks reach.
Prices locally are in Eastern Caribbean dollar. Your bank's one-time codes still reach your home SIM, so card payments keep working.
Before you travel
- The south of the island is an exclusion zone around the Soufrière Hills volcano. Coverage is on the inhabited north.

| Feature | Best for most tripsLinkPaLS eSIM | Local SIM card | Home roaming |
|---|---|---|---|

Montserrat eSIM questions
Still unsure? Email support@linkpals.store and a person replies.

Yes, with the same number and chat history. WhatsApp only needs a data connection, and the eSIM Montserrat provides it.
