Round Analysis

Category breakdown for Bahamas.

Coverage

HelloRoam wins the coverage category for Bahamas with a score of 9.1/10. HelloRoam connects to BTC and Aliv in Bahamas, the sole operator. Bahamas operates on 4G LTE technology. Airalo scores slightly higher on raw country count but routes through the same carriers in Bahamas. For in-country coverage quality, both providers are effectively identical — the 9.1/10 score reflects network infrastructure strength, not provider-specific coverage gaps.

Pricing

HelloRoam wins the pricing category for Bahamas with a score of 9.2/10. Plans for Bahamas start at $8.36/GB through HelloRoam, reflecting the premium data costs in this market. Available tiers: 1GB: $13.50, 3GB: $31.80, 5GB: $49.50, 10GB: $91.13, 20GB: $167.20. Unlimited daily plans are available from approximately $20.98/day. Pricing scores are adjusted for local market conditions — the 9.2/10 reflects both absolute plan cost and per-GB efficiency relative to Bahamas's infrastructure tier. Competing providers offer alternative pricing tiers but trail the leader on per-GB value in this market.

Features

It leads on key feature dimensions: tethering support, QR code activation, and top-up capability for extending coverage mid-trip.

Providers with tethering restrictions or app-mandatory flows score lower in this category.

Support

HelloRoam wins the support category for Bahamas with a score of 9.8/10. Support operates globally — traveler location does not affect response time or channel availability. HelloRoam leads on response time and first-contact resolution rate, benchmarked through mystery-shopper testing across all five providers. Emergency services in Bahamas are reached at 919/911; this is separate from provider support but relevant context for travelers. Second-tier providers averaged longer response times per ticket, placing them below the leader in this category.

At $8.36/GB, Bahamas offers standard cost-to-data value.
