How much will it cost for your trip?
Martinique is an EU Outermost Region (RUP). Your French SIM (Orange, SFR, Bouygues, Free) works in Martinique with no roaming charges — calls, SMS and data are treated as domestic. Other EU SIM holders also benefit from RLAH (check your carrier's FUP). Non-EU visitors (US, UK, Canada) should use a travel eSIM — carrier roaming is expensive.
Fort-de-France, Le Diamant, Sainte-Anne and all coastal towns have strong 4G. Mount Pelée (volcano, 1,397m) has coverage in Saint-Pierre town but limited on the upper crater trail. The northern rainforest (Grand'Rivière) has variable signal on hiking routes. Download offline maps for any volcano or rainforest hike.

VPN, passwords and documents
On hotel or café Wi-Fi, a VPN can be useful to keep your browsing private from the network operator. A password manager is also worth having for managing account access on the road.
