The beach, the cruise terminal, the boat trip
Most TCI travelers spend a week on Providenciales — Grace Bay specifically, because that's the beach Condé Nast keeps voting first. A second pattern: cruise ships call at Grand Turk's purpose-built terminal at the south of the island for a single day. Grand Turk and Provo are different countries from a network's point of view: dense in the resort grid, thinner away from it. The connectivity question is "where does the resort Wi-Fi end" rather than "is there coverage."
Roamzy charges $6.35 per gigabyte in Turks and Caicos. That's $0.0062 per megabyte, billed in real time on local networks. No subscription, no expiry, no minimum bundle. One per-MB rate across 193 countries is the shape of the invoice, not a marketing line.
How much will Roamzy actually cost on this trip?
A typical visitor uses 0.4–0.7 GB per day: ride-hail or villa pickup from PLS, the WhatsApp coordination with the snorkel-tour operator, video calls home from the beach when the resort Wi-Fi reaches no further than the lobby. Call it 0.5 GB/day:
| Trip length | Roamzy ($6.35/GB) | Tourist roaming pass | Cruise-ship Wi-Fi |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-day port stop (0.5 GB) | $3.17 | — | $20–35 |
| 5 days (2.5 GB) | $15.87 | $30–80 | — |
| 10 days (5 GB) | $31.74 | $60–130 | — |
Competitor prices in columns 3 and 4 are 2025 ranges based on typical offerings; exact figures depend on your home carrier, your hotel, and your cruise line. Roamzy's rate in column 2 is our actual published rate from the pricing page.
The TCI uses the US dollar, so you don't fight FX on a local SIM purchase — but you still queue, you still scan a passport, and the data window starts on purchase whether you're in the resort or not. The eSIM is already on the network when the rental car pulls up.
Where does Roamzy work across the islands?
- Providenciales (Grace Bay, the Bight, Leeward) — 4G/LTE at 95%+, 5G in central Provo
- Grand Turk (Cockburn Town, the cruise terminal) — solid LTE in town and at the terminal, weaker at the inland ponds
- North and Middle Caicos — 4G in the small settlements, gaps on the connecting roads and on Mudjin Harbour viewpoints
- Salt Cay, South Caicos — 4G in patches, much of the island is silent
- Boat trips to Iguana Island, Cay Caicos — partial 4G with line-of-sight to Provo, gaps in the channels
- The Grace Bay beach itself — solid LTE end to end; the resort Wi-Fi is what fails first

What are Roamzy's honest limitations?
Three traps Roamzy doesn't have because they were never built in. No welcome promo that flips on the second top-up. No fine-print throttling that bites halfway through a Friday at the beach. No auto-renewal you forgot to cancel after flying home.
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 continues to other countries?
TCI sits between the Bahamas chain and Hispaniola:
- Bahamas — common cruise pairing northbound, separate country rate
- Dominican Republic — short hop south, the eSIM picks up the DR network on landing
