Haiti is a premium-zone country, and we'd rather tell you why
Haiti shares Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic, but the connectivity story diverges sharply at the border. Where the DR's networks are competitive and reasonably priced wholesale, Haiti's are constrained — fewer competing operators, harder commercial terms, and infrastructure that has absorbed multiple shocks in recent years. Our wholesale cost reflects that, and so does our retail rate. We don't disguise it.
Roamzy charges $69.22 per gigabyte in Haiti, or $0.0676 per megabyte, billed in real time. That's high — meaningfully higher than the rest of the Caribbean, and we mark it as a "premium" zone in the pricing table so you can see it before you buy. One per-MB rate across 193 countries means the same engineering — pay for what you used, no expiry — at a Haiti-shaped number.
How much will Roamzy actually cost on this trip?
For most travelers in Haiti — usually visiting on humanitarian, NGO, journalism, or family-visit business — data discipline matters more than anywhere else in the region. Plan on 0.2–0.4 GB/day on cellular and lean hard on hotel or office Wi-Fi:
| Trip length | Roamzy ($69.22/GB) | Tourist roaming pass | Local SIM |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 days | $19.08 (300 MB) | $60–150 | $15–35 + paperwork |
| 1 week | $57.23 (900 MB) | $120–280 | $25–55 + 30-day cap |
| 2 weeks | $127.18 (2 GB) | $240–500 | $45–90 + 30-day cap |
Competitor prices in columns 3 and 4 are 2025 ranges based on typical offerings; exact figures depend on your home carrier and the local market reality. Roamzy's rate in column 2 is our actual published rate from the pricing page.
A local Haitian SIM is genuinely cheaper than the eSIM rate at the gigabyte level, and for an extended stay it's the right answer. For a short trip — three days, a week — the time-cost of acquiring one in person isn't always available. The eSIM is the alternative that bills exactly what you used.
Where does Roamzy actually work on the ground?
- Port-au-Prince (Pétion-Ville, Delmas, the airport corridor) — 4G in most central neighborhoods, drops in lower-density areas
- Cap-Haïtien — 4G near the city center, weaker on coastal roads
- Jacmel and the southern coast — 3G/4G in towns, often nothing between them
- The Citadelle and Sans-Souci near Milot — workable 4G near the parking; the climb is signal-light
- Rural mountain roads — expect long stretches without signal
Throughput is lower and more variable than elsewhere in the Caribbean. Plan for "good enough for messaging and maps" rather than streaming or video calls.
How do I install my Roamzy eSIM?
| Plug type | Voltage | Frequency | iOS | Android |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type A, B | 110 V | 60 Hz | iPhone XS+ | Pixel 3+, Galaxy S20+ |
- Sign in to Roamzy via Telegram or Google
- Top up the eSIM with a minimum of 20 USDT — stablecoins, no cards, no banks, no FX surcharges
- The QR code appears in the dashboard once payment confirms — install it before you fly
- Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → scan QR
- The counter starts the moment you land at PAP or CAP
Supported stablecoins, networks, and common iPhone/Android setup errors are in the FAQ.
What are Roamzy's honest limitations?
The premium price makes the rest of the Roamzy story matter more, not less.
- No welcome promo that bait-and-switches the second top-up. The first $69.22/GB is the hundredth.
- No fine-print throttling. The connection's already constrained; we won't constrain it further.
- No auto-renewal you forgot to cancel. Balance runs out, the eSIM stops.
It's not a marketing gimmick — it's an engineering decision born from indifference to gimmicks. You can't make a tariff cheaper than no fine-print and no expiry — so we don't.
What if my trip extends to other countries?
- Dominican Republic — overland border crossing or short flight; very different network reality
- Bahamas — common return-leg via Nassau
