Leading telecommunications provider BTC is redefining how visitors stay connected with the launch of its new Tourist eSIM, a seamless digital solution designed for today’s always-on traveller. The introduction of the Tourist eSIM comes as BTC celebrates major recognition from Ookla, earning top honours for Best Mobile Coverage and Best Mobile Video Experience for the second half of 2025.
“Today’s travellers expect a seamless, always-on mobile experience from the moment they
arrive,” said Sameer Bhatti, Chief Executive Officer, BTC.
“Our new Tourist eSIM delivers exactly that, with generous data, extensive calling to the United States and Canada, and effortless activation on BTC’s award-winning network. This allows visitors to focus on enjoying their time in The Bahamas, not worrying about connectivity.”
The Bahamas welcomed a record-breaking 12.5 million visitors in 2025, including 10.6 million cruise arrivals, and the demand for reliable, on-the-go connectivity continues to grow. BTC’s Tourist eSIM addresses this need, enabling travellers to stay connected with confidence on its 4G LTE network.
The Tourist eSIM eliminates the need for a physical SIM card, allowing users to activate a
local plan directly on compatible devices before arrival or upon entry into the country. With
flexible prepaid options, travellers can select plans tailored to the duration and nature of their
stay.
Customers can purchase and download the eSIM via BTC’s website by selecting the Tourist
eSIM option, choosing a plan, completing payment, and activating instantly. For those who
prefer in-person assistance, BTC retail locations across The Bahamas are also available to
support.
“Whether visitors are here for a day or an extended stay, we want connectivity to be the
easiest part of their experience,” Bhatti added. “The combination of our Tourist eSIM and our
award-winning network allows guests to move freely across the islands, stay connected with
loved ones, and explore more with confidence.”
Two flexible prepaid plans are currently available:
1-Day Plan: includes 12GB of data, 3,000 minutes to the US and Canada, and 3,000 on-network minutes – ideal for short stays, virtual meetings, and social sharing.
4-Day Plan: offers unlimited data with the same generous calling options, designed for travellers seeking uninterrupted streaming, browsing, and connectivity.
The launch of the Tourist eSIM reflects BTC’s broader vision for the future of connectivity in the Caribbean that’s smart, simple, and always accessible. Its recent recognition by Ookla further underscores the company’s leadership in delivering world-class network performance and its continued investment in infrastructure and customer experience for both residents and visitors across The Bahamas.
