FLOW launched the country's first LTE network in September 2017 on Band 13 (700 MHz), so check your phone supports that band. Taxis aren't metered: licensed cabs have yellow T or TA plates, and you agree the fare first. ### St. Kitts & Nevis: quick facts | Fact | St. Kitts & Nevis | | --- | --- | | Emergency number | 911 police and ambulance, 333 fire | | Main airports | Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport, St Kitts (SKB); Vance W. Amory International Airport, Nevis (NEV) | | Plug types | Type A, B, D, G (230V) | | Currency | Eastern Caribbean dollar (XCD), pegged to the US dollar | | Apps worth having | WhatsApp, Google Maps, Facebook | ### FLOW's Band 13 LTE in Basseterre and Charlestown (St. Kitts & Nevis · https://viasimo.com/destinations/st-kitts-nevis/#guide-flow-s-band-13-lte-in-basseterre-and-charlestown) Your eSIM connects to **FLOW**, part of Liberty Latin America. FLOW took over from the older LIME brand, itself descended from Cable & Wireless, from July 2015. On **29 September 2017** it switched on what it described as the federation's **first LTE network**. The first areas covered were Basseterre, St Peter's and Bird Rock on St Kitts, and Charlestown on Nevis. That network launched on **LTE Band 13 (700 MHz)**, a low-frequency band that travels well across hilly islands. Band 13 is widely supported by phones sold in North America but isn't on every handset made for other markets. Before you travel, check your phone's specifications for Band 13. If it isn't listed, your phone may not connect to LTE here even though everything else is set up correctly. The eSIM gives you data only. Your home SIM stays in the phone for calls and texts, which is useful because many island taxi drivers and boat operators prefer a quick call or a WhatsApp message. ### Yellow T plates, agreed fares and paying in US dollars (St. Kitts & Nevis · https://viasimo.com/destinations/st-kitts-nevis/#guide-yellow-t-plates-agreed-fares-and-paying-in-us-dollars) When you land at **Robert L. Bradshaw International (SKB)** on St Kitts or **Vance W. Amory International (NEV)** on Nevis, the UK government advises **using only licensed taxis**. You can recognise them by a **yellow number plate beginning with T or TA**. Taxis **have no meters**, so agree the standard fare with the driver before you set off. Use your data to look up the published fare for your route so you know what to expect. The local currency is the **Eastern Caribbean dollar (XCD)**, pegged to the US dollar, and the UK government notes that taxis often accept **US dollars**. Confirm which currency you're being quoted before you agree, because the two numbers are very different. Save your driver's number for the return journey or a trip around the island. After dark, the UK government advises avoiding isolated areas and beaches and not carrying large amounts of cash or jewellery. Booking a known taxi in advance, with your location shared from your phone, is a simple precaution for evenings out in Frigate Bay or Basseterre. ### Hurricane season, Mount Liamuiga and the coastguard numbers (St. Kitts & Nevis · https://viasimo.com/destinations/st-kitts-nevis/#guide-hurricane-season-mount-liamuiga-and-the-coastguard-numbers) The **hurricane season runs from June to November**. The UK government advises following weather updates and local instructions, including any evacuation orders. Charge a power bank as soon as a storm warning goes out, and download offline maps and copies of your bookings while the network is still up. **Mount Liamuiga**, the volcano that forms the northern half of St Kitts, is described by the UK government as **potentially active** and likely to erupt at some point. It's monitored by the **UWI Seismic Research Centre**, whose updates you can follow online. Hikes to the crater rim pass through rainforest with weak signal, so check the latest status and weather before you go, and tell your guide or hotel your plans. Save these numbers before you head out: - **911**: police and ambulance - **333**: fire - **465 8484** or **466 9280**: coastguard The UK government notes that currents can be strong and not every beach has lifeguards or warning flags. If you're swimming on Nevis's quieter shores, keep the coastguard numbers handy, and use your home SIM to call them. ### Sources for the St. Kitts & Nevis guide - [St Kitts and Nevis travel advice: safety and security - GOV.UK](https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/st-kitts-and-nevis/safety-and-security) - [St Kitts and Nevis travel advice: getting help - GOV.UK](https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/st-kitts-and-nevis/getting-help) - [Flow (brand) - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(brand)) ## Three days in St Kitts and Nevis: Basseterre, Brimstone Hill, the south-east peninsula and Nevis Short-stay itinerary · 3 days · Source: https://viasimo.com/destinations/st-kitts-nevis/#itinerary The two islands are small and close together, so three days covers the main sights: Basseterre and the UNESCO fortress at Brimstone Hill, a choice of volcano hike or beaches on St Kitts, and a day trip by ferry to Nevis. **When to go:** December to April is the dry season with steady trade winds; June to November is hurricane season, with the highest risk from August to October, when some boat services and hikes may be cancelled. ### Day 1 in St. Kitts & Nevis: Basseterre, Romney Manor and Brimstone Hill - **Base:** Basseterre - **Getting there:** Robert L. Bradshaw airport is about 10 minutes from Basseterre; Brimstone Hill is about 30 minutes west by road. Use a licensed taxi with a yellow T or TA plate and agree the fare first. - **Plan:** Start in Basseterre at the Circus, with its Victorian clock tower, and Independence Square, once the island's slave market. Drive west along the coast to Romney Manor at Old Road to see the gardens and watch batik being made at Caribelle Batik. Continue to Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park and climb to the Citadel for views over to St Eustatius and Saba, then return around the island for the evening. - **Mobile signal:** FLOW 4G is good in Basseterre and along the coastal road; reception weakens in the forested grounds at Romney Manor and inside the fortress walls. There is no 5G. ### Day 2 in St. Kitts & Nevis: Mount Liamuiga or the south-east peninsula - **Base:** Basseterre - **Getting there:** The Liamuiga trailhead is on the north-west side of the island, about 40 minutes from Basseterre; the south-east peninsula beaches are about 20–30 minutes away. - **Plan:** Active walkers can join a guided hike up through the rainforest to the crater rim of Mount Liamuiga, the island's dormant volcano; it takes most of the day. Otherwise drive the south-east peninsula road, stopping at Timothy Hill for the view of the Atlantic and Caribbean on either side, and swim at Cockleshell Bay or South Friars Bay, looking across the Narrows to Nevis Peak. - **Mobile signal:** There is little or no signal in the rainforest on Liamuiga, so tell your guide or hotel your plans; the peninsula road and beaches mostly have 4G. ### Day 3 in St. Kitts & Nevis: Day trip to Nevis - **Base:** Basseterre - **Getting there:** Passenger ferries from Basseterre to Charlestown take about 45 minutes; check the day's timetable before you go. - **Plan:** Take the ferry across to Charlestown on Nevis. Visit the Museum of Nevis History at Alexander Hamilton's birthplace on the waterfront, then walk or take a taxi to the Bath Hotel ruins and the hot springs beside them. Spend the afternoon swimming at Pinney's Beach, below the cloud-capped Nevis Peak, before the evening ferry back to St Kitts. - **Mobile signal:** 4G holds for most of the crossing and in Charlestown; signal is weaker on the hillside roads inland. ### Staying connected on this St. Kitts & Nevis route - Check FLOW's LTE bands (700 MHz is common in the region) against your phone's specification before you travel. - Save 911 (police and ambulance), 333 (fire) and the coastguard numbers, and keep your home SIM on for calls. - Check the ferry timetable on your phone the evening before the Nevis day, and keep the operator's number for weather changes. ### Sources for the St. Kitts & Nevis itinerary - [UNESCO World Heritage: Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park](https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/910/) - [Wikipedia: Mount Liamuiga](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Liamuiga) - [Nevis Tourism Authority](https://www.nevisisland.com/) ## About this eSIM Two islands, one country, and a channel in between: that shape decides almost everything about staying connected in Saint Kitts and Nevis. You will be crossing water by ferry or water taxi, coordinating pickups on the other side, and switching between a busy port town and a quiet volcanic slope in the same afternoon. Having a data line already running when you arrive keeps that manageable, and an eSIM gives you one without a shop visit at Robert L. Bradshaw airport or the cruise pier. ### Getting online when you land The profile goes onto your phone before departure, over your home wifi, because installing it requires internet and the point of the exercise is to skip that problem on arrival. Once you are on the ground, switch the line on, allow data roaming for it, and select it as the data line. Your home number can stay switched on for calls and bank messages as long as you leave its own data roaming off. Arriving by air, the terminal at Basseterre is small and the line should attach quickly once you are outside the aircraft. Arriving by cruise ship, expect the connection to appear as you come into port and disappear again as you sail out. Either way, sort your line before you queue for a taxi, since fares and destinations are worth checking rather than guessing, and the drivers themselves are usually reachable by phone afterwards. ### The networks you'll be on Service across both islands comes from the local mobile networks, and your phone will pick one automatically without you naming an operator or changing a setting. There is no benefit to forcing a selection. Expect capability suited to a small two island nation: perfectly adequate for maps, messaging, calls over the internet, bookings and photo sharing, and less comfortable for heavy streaming or large uploads. Signal strength varies more with terrain than with anything you can control. If the connection stalls in one spot, moving to open ground or higher up usually helps more than restarting the phone, though a flight mode toggle is still the quickest first thing to try. ### Where coverage holds, and where it thins Basseterre and its surroundings are the strongest part of the country, along with the coastal ring road on Saint Kitts, Frigate Bay and the resort strip, and the Southeast Peninsula out toward Cockleshell Bay. On Nevis, Charlestown, Oualie Beach, Pinney's Beach and the road that circles the island are dependable, and the ferry crossing between the two mostly holds a signal because you are never far from land. What thins is the interior. Both islands are volcanic and heavily wooded above the coast road, and the rainforest trails behave accordingly. The climb toward Nevis Peak loses signal in the trees and on the leeward side, and the crater route on Mount Liamuiga is intermittent at best. Brimstone Hill Fortress has a good position and generally holds up, but the sugar plantation lanes and the windward interior on Saint Kitts have gaps. Out on the water it fades fast: sailing trips, snorkelling excursions and the run across toward Statia or the outer reefs will drop you offline. Some of the older estate hotels sit in valleys where mobile signal is weaker than you expect for the price of the room, so if being reachable matters, ask before you book rather than after you arrive. ### What you'll actually use data for here Coordination is the main use. Ferries between the two islands run to a schedule that people treat as a suggestion, water taxis are arranged by phone, and a driver who says he will meet you at the pier will want to message you when he is there. Being contactable removes most of the friction from a trip built on small crossings. Tours are the next. The scenic railway, catamaran days, rainforest hikes, plantation inn lunches and Nevis Peak guides are all booked directly and confirmed by message or phone. Restaurant hours on both islands vary by day and season, and the beach bars that are lively on a Friday can be shut on a Tuesday, so checking before you drive around the island saves the drive. Then the ordinary things: navigation on roads where the signage assumes you already know the island, weather during hurricane season, cruise ship arrival schedules if you want to avoid Basseterre on a busy day, banking, and sending photographs home. If you are working remotely, hotel wifi will do more of the heavy lifting than your mobile line will. ### Before you fly Install the eSIM at home and check your phone is unlocked and eSIM capable. Download offline maps covering both islands, since a lot of what you will do involves the parts of them where signal is weakest. Save the ferry operator, your accommodation and any tour contacts to your phone before you travel, and note that phone numbers here are used far more than booking forms. Keep your usual line reachable for verification codes with data roaming disabled. Pack a power bank for long beach and hiking days, and treat any boat trip as time offline, because it will be. ## Frequently asked questions ### Does an eSIM work in St. Kitts & Nevis? Yes. Your St. Kitts & Nevis eSIM connects automatically the moment you arrive, with no roaming fees and nothing to set up at the airport. The host networks it can use are FLOW. Coverage runs on 4G LTE. There is no 5G on our host network in St. Kitts & Nevis yet. ### Do I get 5G in St. Kitts & Nevis? No. FLOW do not yet offer 5G to visitors in St. Kitts & Nevis, so your eSIM connects over 4G LTE or slower. Anyone claiming 5G for this destination is quoting a spec sheet, not the network you will actually get. ### Will my phone work on FLOW's LTE in St Kitts? It should, as long as it supports the right band. FLOW launched the country's first LTE network in September 2017 on Band 13 (700 MHz). Phones sold in North America commonly support Band 13, but some models built for other markets don't. Check your phone's specifications before you travel. Your eSIM uses FLOW on 4G/LTE. ### How do I spot a licensed taxi in St Kitts and Nevis? Licensed taxis have a yellow number plate starting with T or TA, according to the UK government, which advises using only these. Taxis aren't metered, so agree the standard fare before you set off, and check whether it's in US or Eastern Caribbean dollars. US dollars are often accepted. ### What are the emergency numbers in St Kitts and Nevis? Dial 911 for police or ambulance and 333 for fire. The coastguard can be reached on 465 8484 or 466 9280. The UK government lists these numbers. Your eSIM is data only, so make emergency calls on your home SIM while roaming, or ask your hotel to call. ### Is Mount Liamuiga an active volcano? The UK government describes Mount Liamuiga as potentially active and likely to erupt in the future. It's monitored by the UWI Seismic Research Centre. Crater hikes are usually done with a guide through rainforest where signal is patchy, so check the latest status and forecast before you go and tell someone your plans. ### How much data do I need for 7 days in St. Kitts & Nevis? For 7 days in St. Kitts & Nevis, Viasimo sells 1 GB for $11.99 and unlimited data for $109.99. Our sizing recommendation, not a measurement: maps, messaging and the occasional lookup, about 1 GB a week; maps, social, photos and some browsing, about 3 to 7 GB a week.
