Worth knowing about Anguilla

• Anguilla's emergency number is 911. Any provider of a public telephone service must let end users reach the emergency services free of charge on it, and must pass caller location to the authorities handling the emergency where that is technically feasible.
• Public pay telephones in Anguilla must let a user make an emergency call without coins, cards or any other means of payment.
• Terminal equipment may be connected to a public network in Anguilla only where the Public Utilities Commission has certified it as safe and compliant. The Commission may recognise type approvals granted in jurisdictions it specifies instead of testing afresh, and certified equipment has to carry the markings the Commission sets.
• Anguilla regulates its own telecoms rather than sharing a regional regulator. The Public Utilities Commission was established to license and regulate public utilities and telecommunications in Anguilla, became operational on 7 April 2004 under the Public Utilities Act 2003, and administers the Telecommunications Act, which came into effect on 10 June 2003.
• Anguilla is outside the Eastern Caribbean Telecommunications Authority. ECTEL was created by treaty on 4 May 2000 by five participating states, Dominica, Grenada, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia and St Vincent and the Grenadines. Anguilla and the British Virgin Islands are only associate members of the OECS, so ECTEL rulings do not bind Anguilla.
• The Commission is responsible for the administration of the Telecommunications Act R.S.A c. T6, enacted in 2003, and the Public Utilities Commission Act R.S.A. c.175, initially enacted on 7 April 2004 and amended on 23 May 2007 and 21 February 2014.
• As a British Overseas Territory, Anguilla has no seat of its own at the International Telecommunication Union. The Commission maintains relationships with international bodies, including the ITU, through Ofcom in the UK, and took direct associate membership of the Caribbean Telecommunications Union only in 2017.
• Network and service licences are granted under Section 4 of the Telecommunications Act together with the Telecommunications and Frequency Licensing Regulations (R.R.A T6-2). No applications for new networks or services were filed in 2020.
• Three licensed providers serve the island: Cable and Wireless (Anguilla) Limited trading as FLOW, Caribbean Cable Communications (Anguilla) Limited, and Wireless Ventures (Anguilla) Limited trading as Digicel. Only FLOW and Digicel sell mobile service, so a travel eSIM roams onto one of those two networks.
• The PUC's public licence register shows the current communications licences all dating from 2014: Caribbean Cable Communications in November 2014, Wireless Ventures (Anguilla) Limited on 5 November 2014, and Cable and Wireless in 2014.
• Radio equipment type approval for Anguilla is granted by the PUC on behalf of Government. Unlike other British Overseas Territories, Anguilla charges no fee for it, and the Commission has recorded that not all equipment manufacturers submit applications and that enforcement measures would be needed.
• Two adjacent sectors sit outside the regulatory perimeter: the Commission records that the Internet and cable television sectors remain unregulated in Anguilla, and that a broadcast policy compiled in 2013 has never been translated into enforceable legislation.
• Anguilla lies close enough to its neighbours that spectrum has to be negotiated internationally. The PUC publishes three cross-border coordination agreements with France, Sint Maarten and the Netherlands for Saba and St Eustatius: sound broadcasting at 88 to 108 MHz, broadcasting at 470 to 694 MHz, and mobile networks at 698 to 3800 MHz, the last updated in 2023.
• The land mobile agreement covering 698 MHz to 3800 MHz was reached in February 2023 between the administrations of Anguilla, France, Sint Maarten and the State of the Netherlands for Saba and St Eustatius, with St Martin roughly 7 km away. It sets which bands each administration has preferential use of and a field strength ceiling of 59 dBuV/m per 5 MHz at the border or coastline for uncoordinated base stations.
• Cross-border signal is not theoretical. The PUC monitors the 698 to 972 MHz and 1800 to 2000 MHz bands each month, and its monitoring also captures the emissions from operators on the island of St Martin, which are measurable in Anguilla. A handset near the north or west coast can see foreign networks, so lock the eSIM to an Anguillan operator if your plan does not cover St Martin or Sint Maarten.
• Hurricane exposure is written into the island's telecoms record. Fixed lines in service collapsed from 6,243 to 1,129 in 2017 as a result of the damage caused by Hurricane Irma in September 2017, recovering by roughly 4,027 lines the following year as services were restored.
• Service standards are assessed by the PUC against clause 20, Quality of Service, of the Universal Service and Public Telecommunications Regulations, though the Commission has noted that the current metrics may need updating for changes in technology.
• Anguilla uses country code 1 with NPA 264 inside the World Zone 1 plan. Section 31 of the Telecommunications Act 2003 puts numbering in the hands of the Minister, who develops, administers and manages the numbering plan, with the PUC assisting rather than owning the resource.
• Existing mid-band spectrum is already split between the two mobile operators: FLOW holds 200 MHz in the 3400 to 3600 MHz TDD band and Digicel holds 90 MHz. No millimetre wave spectrum has been assigned in Anguilla at all.
• On 23 January 2026 the PUC opened Public Notice 2026-1, a consultation on the allocation, allotment and assignment of new radio spectrum in Anguilla. The final paper goes to the Minister with responsibility for communications for approval, because under the Act the Minister, not the regulator, amends the Spectrum Plan.
• Satellite service is the live regulatory question on the island. The PUC published a consultation on satellite spectrum and licensing covering NGSO broadband, direct-to-device services and earth stations on 6 July 2026, and issued a public notice on Starlink Caribbean, LLC's application for an internet service provider licence on 8 September 2026.
• Digicel's Anguilla contracting entity is Wireless Ventures (Anguilla) Limited and its terms are governed by Anguillan law. Those terms require you to go into an authorised Digicel retail store to activate its eSIM service, and make connection subject to satisfactory risk assessment, credit rating or a deposit. A travel eSIM loaded before you fly avoids that counter visit.
• Regulation is funded by the operators, not the public purse. The annual industry levy is calculated under Section 48 of the Telecommunications Act R.S.A c.T6 and Section 24 of the Public Utilities Act R.S.A. c.175, and is set in Eastern Caribbean dollars, the currency local mobile tariffs are quoted in.
