Hello, traveler. — Plans from $1.43
Saint Martin is a unique 87-square-kilometre island divided between France (Saint-Martin) and the Netherlands (Sint Maarten) — two countries, one island, no border controls. The French side is known for nude beaches, gourmet dining, and Marigot's French-Caribbean market. The Dutch side (SXM) hosts the famous Maho Beach, where aircraft land metres above sunbathers. Your Flysimio eSIM works on both sides.

Questions about Saint Martin
Do I need two eSIM plans for Saint Martin and Sint Maarten?
No. Your Flysimio eSIM covers both the French and Dutch sides seamlessly. The island has no physical border — you drive between sides without any checkpoint or SIM swap.
What currency should I use?
Euros on the French side, US dollars on the Dutch side. Both are widely accepted across the whole island. ATMs dispense the local currency for each side.
What is Maho Beach famous for?
Maho Beach on the Dutch side sits at the end of Princess Juliana Airport's runway. Aircraft land just metres above the beach — one of aviation's most dramatic approaches. There are warning signs for jet blast, which has injured unaware onlookers.
Is the French side or Dutch side better?
Depends on your travel style. The French side (Saint-Martin) has more gourmet dining, quieter beaches like Orient Bay, and a French-Caribbean atmosphere. The Dutch side (Sint Maarten) is more commercial with casinos, duty-free shopping, and cruise ships.
Is Grand Case worth visiting?
Absolutely. Grand Case on the French side is called the "Gourmet Capital of the Caribbean" — a single street lined with fine restaurants and lolos (Creole barbecue shacks) with top-quality food at very different price points.
What is an eSIM?
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM built into your phone. Instead of a physical card, you scan a QR code and your plan installs instantly — no SIM tray needed.
Is my phone eSIM-compatible?
iPhone XS (2018) and newer, most Android flagships from 2020+, and all Samsung Galaxy S21+ devices support eSIM. Check our compatibility page for the full device list.
How do I install the eSIM?
After purchase, we email a QR code. On iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → Scan QR Code. On Android: Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM. The whole process takes under 60 seconds.
Can I keep my regular SIM while using this eSIM?
Yes. Most phones support dual SIM (physical + eSIM). Keep your home number for calls and SMS — use Flysimio for data abroad. You control which SIM handles what in your phone Settings.
Does the eSIM include a hotspot (tethering)?
Yes, all Flysimio plans include mobile hotspot at no extra charge. Share your data connection with laptops, tablets, or other devices freely.
What happens when my data runs out?
You can top up data from your account dashboard at any time. Top-ups are applied instantly — no need to buy a new eSIM or wait.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. We offer a full refund within 14 days of purchase. Contact contact@flysimio.com with your order number.
How long is the eSIM valid for?
You have 6 months from your purchase date to activate the eSIM. Once activated, the plan validity period (e.g., 7 days, 30 days) begins counting down.
Will the eSIM work at the airport when I land?
Yes — as long as you installed the eSIM before your flight, it activates automatically when your phone connects to a local network on landing. No Wi-Fi required for activation.
What if the QR code doesn't scan?
If the QR code won't scan, you can enter the activation code manually — we include both in the email. You can also contact our 24/7 support team and we'll resend or manually provision your eSIM.
