The British Virgin Islands – often referred to just as BVI or just Virgin Islands, is frequently confused with the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI).
That is quite understandable because the territories are close neighbors.
The British Virgin Islands is mostly known for watersport activities, like sailing, yachting & (casual) swimming.
If you have big bucks to spend, you can head to the private luxury resort Necker Islands.
The Callwood Rum Distillery may be something for you if you are into rum.
Or the Little Fort National Park if parks are more for you.
One thing you are probably aware of is that the British Virgin Islands is an expensive travel destination.
So any way to save some cash is always appreciated.
One way to do so is by getting a local SIM card to enjoy local rates – international roaming can be expensive.
SIM cards in the British Virgin Islands are not cheap, but not crazy expensive either – like on the Falkland Islands.
You can get a British Virgin Island SIM card for 10 USD from Digicel or 20 USD from Flow and CCT (Wireless) in their official stores. They are not sold at Tortola-Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport (EIS – formerly Beef Island Airport).
As to be expected as well, mobile data rates in the British Virgin Islands are high too – the third-highest in the region.
Even then, most international roaming plans will charge you at least 10x than what Digicel, Flow & CCT (Wireless) will charge you.
So yeah, still get a local SIM card.
In this guide, I will go over everything you need to know about buying a SIM card in the British Virgin Islands. Let's get started.

Can You Buy a SIM Card in the British Virgin Islands?
You can buy a British Virgin Islands SIM card from Digicel, Flow & CCT (Wireless) as a tourist. There is nothing preventing travelers from buying a SIM card in the British Virgin Islands.
You do have to comply with the SIM card registration regulations.
Moreover, your phone has to support the frequencies used in the British Virgin Islands.
Finally, your phone needs to be unlocked (SIM-lock free) to use a British Virgin Islands SIM card.
Where Can You Buy a SIM Card in the British Virgin Islands?
You can get a British Virgin Islands SIM card in the official stores of Digicel, Flow & CCT (Wireless). They are not available at Tortola-Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport (EIS – formerly Beef Island Airport).
You can expect to pay the following for British Virgin Islands SIM cards:
- Digicel BVI: 10 USD
- Flow BVI: 20 USD
- CCT BVI (CCT Wireless): 20 USD
Can You Use Your Phone in the British Virgin Islands?
The British Virgin Islands use GSM for their cellular communications, meaning that you need a GSM-capable phone to use your phone in the country. Fortunately, there is about a 99% chance your phone supports GSM.
Besides that, you need to be aware of the ITU Regions to determine whether your phone will work in other parts of the world.
Although there are 3 ITU Regions, you only need to know these two terms: American frequencies and European frequencies.
Africa, Asia (including the Middle East), Europe & Oceania (ITU Regions 1 & 3) typically use European frequencies, meaning phones bought in those regions can be used in countries using European frequencies without issues.
The Americas (North-, Central– & South America + the Caribbean), ITU Region 2, use American frequencies, which are different from the European frequencies.
The British Virgin Islands use a mix of American frequencies and European frequencies for 4G/LTE, depending on the mobile operator. 2G and 3G are exclusively on American frequencies.
If you bought your phone in the Americas (ITU Region 2) and have a low/medium-end device (without Tri-Band or Quad-Band) support, you can go with any mobile operator.
However, 4G/LTE reception with CCT (Wireless) sometimes lack.
If you purchased your phone in Africa, Asia, Europe, or Oceania (ITU Regions 1 & 3) and have a low/medium-end device (without Tri-Band or Quad-Band) support, you want to go with CCT (Wireless).
It supports a traditional European frequency on 4G/LTE (900 MHz on Band 8).
However, your 4G/LTE speeds may be slower than if you had a phone that supported American frequencies.
Suppose you have a medium/high-end device with Tri-Band or Quad-Band support. In that case, you can go with any mobile operator, as your phone will support both American frequencies and European frequencies, even on 4G/LTE.
Mobile Operators, Networks & Frequencies the British Virgin Islands
The British Virgin Islands have three mobile operators offering prepaid services:
- Digicel BVI
- Flow BVI
- CCT BVI (CCT Wireless)
The following frequencies are used in the British Virgin Islands:
- 2G: 850 MHz, 900 MHz & 1900 MHz
- 3G: 850 MHz & 1900 MHz
- 4G/LTE: 700 MHz (Band 12 & Band 13), 900 MHz (Band 8), 1700 MHz (Band 4) & 1900 MHz (Band 2)
You can learn more about frequencies in the video below.
To check whether your phone will work in the British Virgin Islands, check out this page by Kimovil or this one by Will My Phone Work (outdated, unfortunately, but extremely user-friendly – useful for phones launched in or before 2019. It does not check for 5G NR compatibility).
Again, make sure your phone is unlocked. Otherwise, you will not be able to use any SIM card except the one from your home operator (meaning you have to roam internationally or buy another unlocked phone that does support the frequencies listed above).
If you want to learn how international roaming works, this guide explains it in-depth. If you wonder why it is often so expensive to roam, this article explains the hidden reason they do not want you to know.
VoLTE & VoWiFi in the British Virgin Islands
Both VoLTE (Voice over LTE (4G) – also known as HD Voice) and VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi – also known as WiFi calling) are not offered by the mobile operators in the British Virgin Islands (yet).
This means that when you make a call, your phone will downgrade to 3G (or 2G when 3G is not available) instead of staying connected to 4G/LTE.
This is also why you often cannot use mobile while calling if not connected to WiFi.
VoWiFi is, as the name implies, calling on a WiFi connection as opposed to on a cellular network.
5G NR in the British Virgin Islands
5G NR is not available in the British Virgin Islands as of 2022, and the British Virgin Islands government has not made any indications of when it will auction 5G licenses.
Best SIM Card in the British Virgin Islands
If you want to buy the best SIM card in the British Virgin Islands, I recommend going with Digicel or Flow. Both mobile operators have extensive coverage, and the speeds are similar. Digicel has attractive plans (Prime Bundles) with dedicated data allowances for Prime apps, TikTok & YouTube (up to 30 GB/app).
Best eSIM in the British Virgin Islands
Unfortunately, none of the mobile operators offer eSIM (to prepaid customers) in the British Virgin Islands yet.
Note that the British Virgin Island mobile operators require your identification (passport) for (future) eSIMs and physical SIM cards (will be discussed later).
However, you can also get a travel eSIM from various eSIM providers.
The list below is not exhaustive – many more providers have eSIMs for British Virgin Islands.
But these are the ones I have tried and had pleasant experiences with.
Moreover, they are reasonably priced, which I find very important (you will not see me recommending an eSIM I would not buy myself).
So here are the four best eSIMs for British Virgin Islands:
- Airalo British Virgin Islands Jost Mobile eSIM with one 1 GB option (cheapest <7 GB)
- Holafly British Virgin Islands eSIM with one 1 GB option (cheapest 7 GB > – use code PHONETRAVELWIZ for 5% off)
- Holafly Caribbean eSIM (covers 16 Caribbean countries with a generous allowance)
- Airalo Island Hopper eSIM with one 1 GB option (covers 24 Caribbean countries at higher prices and just 1 GB of data)
Because this is the SIM card buying guide for British Virgin Islands, I will not spend too much time about travel eSIMs here and throughout this guide (but I will still do here and there).
If you want to learn more about the best eSIMs for British Virgin Islands, you better check out my British Virgin Islands eSIM buying guide.
It is as helpful and comprehensive as this guide but about eSIMs instead 😜.
SIM Card Registration in the British Virgin Islands
SIM card registration with your passport information is required in the British Virgin Islands. It will be done at the point of sale.
British Virgin Islands Mobile Internet Prices & Insights
The Caribbean is not known for being a cheap travel region.
With many luxurious resorts and PRISTINE beaches, it is somewhat understandable why the region is a bit high-class (with some exceptions, like the Dominican Republic and Haiti).
As mentioned in the introduction, mobile data rates are high in the British Virgin Islands.
The average price for 1 GB of data in the British Virgin Islands is 9.54 USD, way above the Caribbean average of 4.44 USD. The world average is 4.07 USD.
Compared to 2019's numbers, the average cost of 1 GB of data decreased by 48.6%.
While there is not much information about mobile data speeds in the territory because not many people do speed tests there, I can mention something about speeds.
Flow BVI claims the maximum achievable speed you can get on their network is 35 Mbps.
But remember, this is the maximum speed – you will most likely get speeds ranging between 10 Mbps and 25 Mbps.
With expensive SIM cards, close to excellent nationwide coverage, decent mobile download speeds, and high mobile data rates, you should have a smooth network experience in the British Virgin Islands.
Currency in the British Virgin Islands
The British Virgin Islands use the US Dollar with the symbol USD (which will be used throughout this guide).
Prices in the British Virgin Islands are listed in just $.
For up-to-date USD:your currency (let's say Euro) exchange rates, use the Wise Currency Converter tool.
If your credit/debit card charges you foreign exchange fees, get yourself a Wise Borderless Account and Debit Card.
Their fees are MUCH lower than banks and credit card companies charge you (and Wise is transparent about their fees, unlike banks).
I have saved literal THOUSANDS of Australian Dollars and Euros, my main currencies, when using Wise abroad when traveling compared to my debit and credit cards.
