Staying connected in the Cayman Islands
The simplest way to get online in the Cayman Islands is to install a travel eSIM before you fly and switch it on when you land on Grand Cayman. AirOva sells Cayman Islands plans from $8.99, with a fixed amount of data or unlimited, all data only, with no call minutes, SMS or local number. Plans run on Flow, with 4G and 5G where available.
Which Cayman Islands plan to choose
GB plans suit most trips, since messaging, maps and booking apps take little data. Unlimited plans give unlimited data with no data cap and no fair-usage limit; you only choose the number of days, which suits longer stays, remote work and video calls home. Not sure? See how much data you need.
Flow, Cable & Wireless and Lime
A plan card that lists the network as Cable & Wireless or Lime rather than Flow means the same network: Cable & Wireless Communications ran it as LIME Cayman, which launched the islands' first LTE network in December 2013, and the Flow brand replaced LIME from July 2015. Liberty Latin America acquired Cable & Wireless in 2016. Flow launched 5G in the Cayman Islands on 4 June 2024. Digicel, the other mobile operator, is not on our plans.
Arriving on Grand Cayman
Owen Roberts International (GCM) in George Town is the main international airport. Charles Kirkconnell International (CYB) serves Cayman Brac and Edward Bodden Airfield (LYB) serves Little Cayman. Install the eSIM over Wi-Fi before you fly. After landing, turn off airplane mode, switch the eSIM line on, choose it for mobile data and enable Data Roaming for that line; the data is prepaid, so roaming adds no charge.
Arriving by cruise ship
Cruise ships anchor in George Town Harbour and bring passengers ashore by tender. Switch the eSIM on once you are near the harbour, and turn data off again before the ship sails: at sea, phones join the ship's maritime network, which travel plans do not cover. Seven Mile Beach, the island's most popular tourist area, lies between George Town and West Bay.
Tip: keep roaming off on your home SIM but leave the SIM in for bank codes. Download an offline map of Grand Cayman before you land, and if you are heading on to Cayman Brac or Little Cayman, download the maps and bookings you need while you are still on Grand Cayman.
