“I have used esim products from other companies in the past. The instructions on the MTX website and the communications from MTX help desk are terrible.”

Bahamas Telecommunications Company (BTC): The state-owned incumbent operator, providing mobile, fixed-line, broadband, and TV services.
Aliv: A privately-owned mobile operator that has rapidly expanded its network coverage and services since its launch in 2016.

These operators offer extensive coverage and a range of services across the Bahamian islands.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Bahamas?

Travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS capability for Bahamas are available from several operators. Providers such as JamboSim, ESIM.DOG, Airalo, Roamify, LineCast Networks and Orange Travel offer packages ranging from 1 GB to 20 GB of data, with validity periods from one week up to a year and starting prices around $11.99 USD. Each plan includes inbound and outbound voice support, though JamboSim and ESIM.DOG list only outbound voice while the others provide both directions, and every plan allows inbound and outbound SMS.

The included phone numbers may be local or foreign depending on the dialing code. Airalo’s Jitney Mobile+ plans use the Bahamas‑specific dialing code +1‑242, giving users a local phone number. JamboSim and ESIM.DOG supply numbers with the generic +1 code, which works for international dialing but is not a dedicated Bahamas number; these providers still allow local calls and messages. LineCast Networks and Orange Travel issue numbers with a +33 (France) dialing code, so the number is foreign but still usable for sending and receiving SMS in Bahamas. Travelers can choose a plan that best fits their need for local identity or broader roaming coverage.
