How does Simbye eSIM work for Saint Martin?
Get connected in under 2 minutes
Sorted before you take off
You order, we send an email with a link — that is the whole setup. Tap it once and the eSIM joins your normal SIM inside the phone. It uses no data and no days yet, so you can do this relaxed at home before the trip starts.
One switch when you land
When you arrive in Marigot or Grand Case, turn on data roaming for the Simbye line — nothing else. Your phone registers on the Orange network by itself, usually within moments. The setting sits under mobile data and flipping it takes just a few seconds.
Stay reachable, top up anytime
Your everyday number stays live, since your own SIM keeps its slot — calls and messages arrive as always while Simbye carries the data. Need more between beach days? A few taps in the app and extra data is on the line, without setting anything up twice.
Check Device Compatibility

Which networks will you be on in Saint Martin?
Your phone connects to Orange on the French side and holds it from Marigot and Grand Case to Orient Bay.
There is no operator to pick. The line runs on Orange and your phone latches on by itself — no APN to enter, no profile to install, no app to open first. Whether you arrive by air or step off the ferry at Marigot, switch on data roaming for the Simbye line and the bars are usually there within a minute. If nothing shows after a couple of minutes, put the phone into airplane mode, count to ten and switch it back off; that clears most of it. Still quiet? Open the network settings, turn off automatic selection and choose the network from the list by hand — worth doing anywhere near the southern border, where phones on a small island like to wander.
Marigot, Grand Case, Orient Bay, Anse Marcel, Cul-de-Sac and the built-up stretch around Sandy Ground and Baie Nettlé are the reliable parts, and the road that loops the French side carries fine between them. It fades where the island goes quiet: the climb up Pic Paradis and the trails through the interior, the walk over to Happy Bay and Petites Cayes, the far corners of the Terres Basses and the back of the lagoon. Offshore counts as well — the boat out to Îlet Pinel or Tintamarre, and any longer crossing over to Anguilla or Saint Barth, will drop you. One thing worth knowing: this line is at home on the French northern half, so if you cross the border south into Dutch Sint Maarten, check what your phone has latched onto down there.
