Carrier & coverage guidance
Coverage quality varies by island and operator. Before relying on coverage for work calls or heavy uploads, consult official carrier coverage maps or independent sources (Ookla/OpenSignal) for the latest information — do not assume uniform 4G/5G coverage island‑wide.

Antigua and Barbuda has a seasonal pattern (drier winter season vs wetter summer/ hurricane season). Weather can affect travel plans and mobile reliability during severe storms; download maps and essential content before travel if you’ll be in remote areas.
