Buy an eSIM for El Salvador before you fly

Pick your plan on this page, pay by card or Apple Pay, and your eSIM arrives in a few minutes. Plans start at USD 1.14, and the price you see is the price you pay. You can install the eSIM at home before you leave, or once you land in El Salvador.

Can I use my cell phone in El Salvador?

Yes. To use an eSIM, your phone must meet two conditions:

• It must be an eSIM-compatible phone. Most recent iPhone and many Android models qualify. You can check yours on our list of phones that support eSIM.
• It must be unlocked, so it accepts a plan that is not from your home provider.

Your usual SIM can stay in the phone. The eSIM simply adds a data line for your trip.

How does an eSIM work on iPhone and Android?

An eSIM is a digital SIM built into your phone. There is no plastic card to swap. Installing it takes a few steps:

1. Buy your El Salvador plan and open the confirmation.
2. Scan the QR code, or tap the one-tap install link on the phone itself.
3. Turn on the new line for mobile data, and switch on data roaming for it when you arrive.

Which El Salvador plan fits your trip?

Plans range from small amounts of data up to 20 GB, valid from 1 to 30 days. A short city break with maps and messaging needs much less data than a long stay with video calls. Think about how many days you will be there and how much you stream.

If you would rather not count megabytes, choose the unlimited plan. Travelling further? The Central America plans cover several countries with one eSIM.

El Salvador eSIM FAQs

Which eSIM plan should I choose for El Salvador?

Match the plan to the length of your stay and how much data you use. Validity runs from 1 to 30 days and data goes up to 20 GB. If you stream or work online a lot, the unlimited plan is the simplest choice.

Can I use my own phone in El Salvador with an eSIM?

Yes, as long as it is an eSIM-compatible phone and it is unlocked. Your home SIM can stay where it is, and the eSIM adds a separate data line for the trip.

What are the downsides of using an eSIM?

The main limit is the phone itself. Older or locked phones cannot use an eSIM, so check that yours is compatible and unlocked before you buy. The plans are for data, so they are not a replacement for your usual number.

How do I install my El Salvador eSIM?

After paying by card or Apple Pay, scan the QR code or tap the one-tap install link on your phone. Then turn on the new line for data and enable data roaming for it. It takes a few minutes.

Can I add more data if I run out?

Yes. You can check the data you have left and top up from your Ahlano account, so you stay connected if your trip runs longer than planned.
