Your questions, answered

A 7-day trip to Haiti needs different amounts based on how you use your phone. On Digicel's 4G LTE network: light users need 4GB: the 5GB plan at $52.65 covers the trip; moderate users need 11GB: the 20GB plan at $236.93 is the right fit; heavy users (4GB+/day) save more with unlimited data at $30.01/day. The moderate estimate of 11GB fits most travelers who use maps, social media, and occasional video calls.
Should I get a fixed data plan or unlimited for Haiti?
If you stream video every day or join video calls for work, unlimited at $30.01/day pays off in Haiti. The break-even is 2.8GB per day: use less and fixed data wins. If you stick to maps, messaging, and light browsing, the 5GB fixed plan at $52.65 ($10.53/GB) saves money over 7 days. For a 7-day trip, unlimited ($193.26) beats the comparable fixed plan ($236.93) when you use more than 2.8GB per day.
Which eSIM plan fits a light or heavy data user in Haiti?
Light users in Haiti who check maps, send messages, and browse briefly use about 4GB over 7 days. The 1GB plan at $14.22 ($14.22/GB) is the right fit.

iPhone XS (2018) and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, and Google Pixel 3 and later all support eSIM. Your phone must be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06#: if you see an EID number below the IMEI, eSIM is available. Haiti's 4G LTE network connects automatically once you install the eSIM profile. No physical SIM card swap needed.
When does my Haiti eSIM start counting down?
Most Haiti eSIM plans start the validity window at first network connection, not at purchase. Install the QR code at home over WiFi, then activate when you land in Haiti. The 1GB plan at $14.22 covers short stays; the 20GB plan at $236.93 covers longer trips. Buy 1–3 days before departure so the plan does not expire before your trip starts.
