eSIM Anguilla: prepaid data on Cable and Wireless (Anguilla) Ltd trading as Lime, from Shoal Bay to The Valley
Anguilla is reached by a short ferry or a small plane from St. Martin, and from Blowing Point the island unfolds as a string of long, quiet beaches, villa rentals and beach restaurants that expect you to call ahead. Because most visitors pass through another island first, phone bills can get confusing fast, with two roaming zones in one afternoon. An Anguilla eSIM from GlobaleSIM keeps it simple: buy online, install before you travel, and it connects automatically once you are on the island, while your own number stays live on your primary SIM.
Networks and coverage in Anguilla
GlobaleSIM’s eSIM Anguilla runs on Cable and Wireless (Anguilla) Ltd trading as Lime, our partner network on the island. Anguilla is small and flat, so reception is consistent in The Valley, around Blowing Point, along the main road and at the popular beaches such as Shoal Bay, Meads Bay and Rendezvous Bay. Out on the water, on boat trips to the offshore cays and in a few secluded coves, signal weakens, as it does on any island operator. The plan covers Anguilla only, so it will not provide data during your stop in St. Martin.
Forfaits, prix et validité
The Anguilla prepaid data plan starts from $9.50 for 1GB, with 2GB, 3GB, 5GB, 10GB, 15GB and 20GB also available. Validity follows the size: 1GB for 7 days, 2GB for 10 days, 3GB for 14 days, 5GB for 21 days, and 10GB, 15GB and 20GB for 30 days. A long weekend of beaches and restaurant bookings fits into 2GB or 3GB. A week in a villa with navigation, messaging and evening uploads is comfortable on 5GB. Two-week stays with video calls home, remote work or a family sharing a hotspot are better on 10GB or more. Validity only starts when your phone first connects to a supported network in Anguilla, so installing at home early costs nothing.
Calls and a phone number in Anguilla
Anguilla’s restaurants, boat charters and villa managers run on phone calls as much as messages, and a reservation for a beachfront table is easier to make by voice. Add a bundle of +100, +200 or +300 minutes at checkout and your eSIM Anguilla comes with a dedicated international phone number, US +1 or UK +44, for calls and SMS, useful too for bank verification codes. Data-only travelers keep WhatsApp on their existing number but do not get calling.

Tips for mobile data in Anguilla
Rent a car or arrange taxis in advance, because the island has little public transport and the best beaches are spread out; a navigation app on your own data makes the drive easy. Villa Wi-Fi is usually fine indoors but does not reach the beach. Ferry and charter schedules to and from St. Martin change with weather and season, so a live connection for reconfirming times is worth having. Most restaurants and hotels take cards, while small beach bars and taxi drivers prefer cash.
