Prices in USD. Instant QR activation. Pick your data, land connected.
Clear data. Clear price.
Drift plans show a fixed data allowance, validity period and final price before checkout.
About “unlimited” plans: Plans marketed as unlimited, including Holafly plans, may still be subject to local network Fair Usage Policies (FUP) and temporary speed reductions after heavy use. Unlimited data does not always mean unlimited full-speed data.
Coverage in Haiti
Haiti has basic 4G across Port-au-Prince, Cap-Haitien and the main towns, with comparatively high data prices and limited infrastructure. Digicel carries by far the widest coverage. The realistic weak spots are the mountainous interior, the remote southern peninsula and rural roads generally, where signal thins or drops between towns. For the main urban centres, connectivity is usable.

Buying a local SIM instead
Where to buy: Digicel stores in the main towns; airport counter at Port-au-Prince
Price: 12-28 USD
The local market is small and data is relatively expensive. A travel eSIM that covers Haiti is often the simpler option, working the moment you land without finding a local store. Check current travel advice before planning a trip.
The verdict
The verdict
Our eSIM wins when: you want to land connected without hunting for a local store, given the limited local options.
A local SIM wins when: you are staying long term and want a local Digicel pack despite the higher local prices.
Bottom line: Because the local market is small and pricey, a travel eSIM is usually the cleaner choice. Check current travel advice before any trip.
Haiti eSIM FAQ
Is an eSIM cheaper than a local Haiti SIM?
A local prepaid SIM runs about $12-28 and wins on price per gigabyte if you stay a month or more. For a short trip a travel eSIM is usually cheaper once you count the airport markup and the time spent registering a local SIM.
Is 4G or 5G better in Haiti in 2026?
5G is now broad across the main cities and tourist regions, and 4G was already fast enough for maps, calls and streaming. Pick a plan on coverage where you are going, not on 4G versus 5G. The realistic weak spots are the mountainous interior, the remote southern peninsula and rural roads generally, where signal thins or drops between towns.
Does an eSIM work on arrival at the airport in Haiti?
Yes. Activate it before you fly and it connects to Digicel the moment you land, before you reach immigration. No need to find a SIM counter at Port-au-Prince.
Which operator is best for a tourist in Haiti?
Digicel is the safest single choice with the widest reach. Natcom is a solid alternative, a smaller alternative with coverage in the main towns, weaker outside them. A travel eSIM typically rides the strongest of these networks, so you get that coverage without choosing.
How long should my eSIM plan last for Haiti?
Match it to your trip. For a city break or a multi country itinerary, a short validity travel eSIM is the simplest call. For a stay of a month or more in Haiti, a local pack edges ahead on price per gigabyte.
