Skip home-carrier data roaming, SIM swaps, airport kiosk queues, contracts and ID checks. You need only an eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked phone, with no physical SIM to collect before your trip.
Keep your own number while the eSIM handles data only. Your existing SIM stays in your phone for calls, SMS and bank codes, while WhatsApp keeps your familiar number.
Match your plan to your route through El Salvador. Short plans suit San Salvador breaks; longer options suit surfers staying around El Tunco and travellers exploring the Ruta de las Flores.
Arrive with your data profile already installed before departure, ready to connect at your destination. You can start connecting on arrival instead of first hunting for airport Wi-Fi.
What it is not: a phone number. For a local number to receive sign-up codes or bookings, add a virtual number next to the data plan.
How it works
Land in El Salvador already online
Set it up on Wi-Fi the night before. The eSIM waits quietly until you arrive.
2
Pay and scan the QR code
Pay from your balance and get the QR code at once.
3
Turn it on when you land
Turn on data roaming and it finds a network itself.
