Cache your maps before you head off
Download Saint Martin in Google Maps before you leave so your GPS keeps working when you are exploring the island. The main resort roads are easy to follow but having offline maps is handy for beach tracks and hiking trails where signal may be intermittent.
The island border is open, no passport needed
There is no border control between the French side (Saint Martin) and the Dutch side (Sint Maarten). You can drive across freely. Keep an eye on your network indicator as you move around to confirm which carrier your eSIM is connected to.
Keep your Aussie number active while using local data
Most modern phones support dual SIM. Keep your Australian SIM active for calls and texts from home. Set the HelloRoam eSIM as your data line. You stay reachable on your regular Aussie number without paying international rates while your eSIM handles data on the island.
Save the emergency number offline
The emergency number on the French side is 112. Save it in your contacts before you travel. Emergency calls work on any available network regardless of your data balance.

Cat
On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
