The (almost) 5-star eSIM
The eSIM was very easy to install and, once I reached my destination, I had a connection from the very first moment without having to worry about roaming.
Activation was quick and simple, and I had a connection the whole time with no hassle. Coverage and speed were very good.
I went on a trip around Latin America and had coverage everywhere, at a very good price. Highly recommended 💪🏼

More about the El Salvador eSIM
eSIM for El Salvador: internet without roaming
With an eSIM for El Salvador, you get connected the moment you land at San Salvador airport, no need to hunt for a store or swap your physical SIM. Our eSIM runs on the local networks of Tigo and Claro, the two carriers with the best coverage in the country, so you'll have 4G mobile data in San Salvador, on El Tunco beach, and across most of the territory. You buy the plan, get the QR by email, and travel with internet from minute one. You can also check all destinations if your route continues through Central America.
Roaming in El Salvador: why an eSIM is worth it
El Salvador is not part of the European Union, so your plan back home doesn't include data here and roaming gets expensive fast: most carriers charge between 10 and 15 € per day or per-megabyte rates that drain your balance within hours. With our eSIM, you pay once, know exactly what you're spending, and avoid bill shock when you get back. That's the difference between paying dozens of euros for a few days or having controlled internet for your whole trip.
How much does an eSIM for El Salvador cost?
Plans start well below the cost of roaming. As a guide: for a 4- or 5-day getaway using maps, messaging, and some social media, 1 GB is usually enough; for one or two weeks with daily navigation and uploading photos, go for 3 GB or 5 GB; and if you're working remotely or sharing your connection, pick a higher-capacity plan. Useful tidbit: El Salvador uses US dollars, but you can conveniently buy your eSIM in euros before you leave.
eSIM or SIM card in El Salvador
A local SIM card from Tigo or Claro requires showing ID, finding a point of sale, and waiting for activation, plus it forces you to take out your usual SIM. The eSIM is 100% digital: it installs on your current phone without removing your regular number, so you keep receiving calls and texts from home while using local data for everything else. No plastic, no queues, and activation in minutes.
Does the eSIM work in San Salvador, Santa Ana, or San Miguel?
Yes. Tigo and Claro coverage is solid in the main cities like San Salvador, Santa Ana, San Miguel, and Santa Tecla, as well as in tourist spots like La Libertad, El Tunco, Suchitoto, or the Ruta de las Flores. In rural or mountainous areas, the signal can be weaker, which is normal with any carrier in the country, but for getting around, booking rides, reserving, and staying in touch, you'll have stable internet where you actually need it.
How do you activate the El Salvador eSIM?
Very simple. After purchase, you receive a QR code by email: scan it from your phone's settings, install the profile, and have the plan ready before you travel. When you arrive in El Salvador, just turn on mobile data and you're connected without touching anything else. If it's your first eSIM, follow our step-by-step eSIM guide and you'll have it sorted in a couple of minutes, with the peace of mind of traveling already connected.
