El Salvador travel data eSIM
What is an El Salvador eSIM?
A dedicated eSIM keeps your phone connected while exploring El Salvador. It installs via QR code before departure and activates only when you first connect to local networks. Ideal for navigating San Salvador streets or planning trips to El Tunco, this data-only plan ensures you have internet access without swapping physical SIM cards. Your home SIM remains active for calls and texts, while the eSIM handles data needs throughout your Central American stay.
This plan connects to Claro 4G networks in El Salvador. It provides mobile data for maps, messaging, and browsing during your visit. The validity period begins upon first connection at the destination. Choose between a 1GB/7-day option for short stays or a 5GB/30-day plan for longer trips, ensuring you stay online while moving between cities and coastal areas.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operator does the El Salvador eSIM use?
It connects to Claro 4G networks. This means you access the local cellular infrastructure directly, allowing for standard mobile data usage while within the country's borders.
Does this eSIM work in Guatemala or Honduras?
No, this is a single-country plan valid only in El Salvador. For trips spanning multiple Central American nations, regional eSIM plans are available that cover several countries simultaneously.
Which plan size fits a trip to San Salvador and El Tunco?
As a rough guide, the 1GB/7-day plan suits short stays, while the 5GB/30-day option offers more flexibility for longer visits or heavier data usage.
Will I lose my own phone number?
No. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls and WhatsApp. The eSIM only carries data, so both work side by side.
When does my plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy it. So you can install it days before you fly without losing any time.
Is my phone compatible?
Most phones from 2018 onwards are: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, you have eSIM. Full list on our Device Compatibility page.
How fast will I get my QR code?
Usually within a couple of minutes of payment, by email. If it has not arrived, check spam first, then write to us and we will resend it immediately.
Can I use hotspot or tethering?
Yes, on every plan we sell. Share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or the rest of your group.
What if I change my mind?
If you have not installed the eSIM, you get a full refund within 180 days. Once a profile is activated and data has been used it cannot be refunded — the allowance is consumed from the network. Full detail in our Refund Policy.
Do you sell plans for groups?
Yes. For Umrah and Hajj groups, student trips and tour operators we deliver the QR codes as a single batch before departure, at group rates. Email us with your group size and destination.
