Puerto Rico

Yes, as long as you have an eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked iPhone. That covers the iPhone XS, XR and every model since, so most travellers landing in San Juan are good to go. After buying, you scan the QR code we email you to install the eSIM, then switch it on when you arrive in Puerto Rico. Because it is a data-only travel eSIM, you get fast mobile internet for maps, ride-hailing and streaming, while calls and texts run through WhatsApp, FaceTime and iMessage over data. Your normal SIM stays in the phone, so you keep your usual number. If you are unsure whether your iPhone is unlocked, our 24/7 support team can help before you fly.

It does, provided your Android handset supports eSIM and is carrier-unlocked. That includes the Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, the Z Fold and Z Flip range, Google Pixel 3 and later, plus many recent models from other brands. Setup is the same: scan the QR code we email after purchase, install the Puerto Rico eSIM, and enable it once you reach the island. This is a data-only plan, so you browse, navigate Old San Juan and stream on mobile internet, while calls and messages go through WhatsApp or other VoIP apps. Keep your home SIM active for your usual number and turn its roaming off. Not certain your phone qualifies? Check Settings for an eSIM option, or ask our support team and we will confirm before you travel.

Your Puerto Rico travel eSIM connects to Claro, one of the island's leading mobile networks. That gives you reliable 4G data across San Juan, Ponce and right across the whole island, so you stay online from the moment you land. As a prepaid data plan, it is ready to use the instant you connect, with no roaming fees and no surprise charges. You get strong, consistent mobile internet for maps, bookings, social media and video calls wherever your trip takes you. Because the eSIM rides on a major local network rather than expensive international roaming, you get the same coverage locals rely on at a flat upfront price. Calls and texts work through WhatsApp and similar apps over that data.

Coverage is strong well beyond San Juan and Ponce. Running on Claro, this eSIM delivers reliable 4G across the whole island, so you stay connected on the road to El Yunque rainforest, the beaches of Rincon and the west coast, the southern town of Cabo Rojo and out toward Fajardo for the ferries to Culebra and Vieques. In remote mountains, dense forest or on the smaller islands, signal can dip as it would on any network, but for the routes most travellers take you will have dependable mobile internet for maps and navigation. This tourist-friendly data eSIM is built to keep you online across Puerto Rico, not just in the capital, so day trips and scenic drives stay covered without roaming worries.

It only takes a few minutes. Right after purchase we email you a QR code. On a Wi-Fi connection, open your phone settings, choose to add an eSIM or mobile plan, and scan that code to install it. We recommend doing this before you fly so everything is ready. The plan does not start counting down at install: your validity and data only begin when the eSIM first connects to the local network in Puerto Rico. When you land in San Juan, turn the eSIM on for data, set it as your data line, and switch your home SIM's roaming off. You will be online in moments for maps, taxis and messaging. If anything looks unclear, our 24/7 support team can walk you through each step.

Yes, and we recommend it. Installing before you leave home means everything is set up while you still have reliable Wi-Fi, with no scrambling for signal at Luis Munoz Marin Airport in San Juan. Scan the QR code we email after purchase to add the eSIM, but do not worry about wasting your plan: your data allowance and validity period only begin when the eSIM first connects to the local network in Puerto Rico, not at the moment you install it. So you can set it up days in advance, then simply switch it on once you arrive to start using your prepaid data. This makes landing stress-free, since you can order a ride or check your hotel the moment you step off the plane.

For most travellers, yes. A Puerto Rico travel eSIM gives you a flat, prepaid price you know upfront, with no roaming fees and no bill shock when you get home. Traditional carrier roaming often charges premium daily rates or per-megabyte fees that climb fast once you start using maps, streaming and social media. With this eSIM you simply pick a data plan that suits your trip and pay once. If you run low, you just add another plan or top up rather than overpaying for a big bundle at the start. You also keep your normal SIM in the phone for your usual number, with its roaming switched off, so you avoid accidental charges while still enjoying fast, affordable mobile internet across the island.

It depends on how you travel. If you mainly use maps to explore Old San Juan, message on WhatsApp, check restaurant reviews and post the occasional photo, a modest data plan comfortably covers a week. If you stream music on drives to the west coast, video-call home regularly, or rely on your eSIM to tether a laptop, choose a larger allowance. As a rough guide, light users often manage on a smaller bundle for seven days, while heavier users prefer something more generous. The good news with a prepaid eSIM is you are never locked in: start with a sensible plan, and if you run low you simply top up or add another rather than guessing high upfront. Using hotel and cafe Wi-Fi for big downloads stretches your data further.

Yes to both. This is a data-only eSIM, so while it does not carry traditional calls or SMS, WhatsApp, FaceTime, iMessage and other VoIP apps all work normally over its mobile internet. That covers the way most people actually stay in touch, with messages, voice notes and video calls home from anywhere in Puerto Rico. You also keep your usual phone number, because your existing SIM stays in your phone on a separate line. Just set the eSIM as your data line and turn roaming off on your home SIM to avoid extra charges. Your number remains reachable for anything that genuinely needs it, while your day-to-day browsing, navigation and messaging all run on the affordable prepaid data from your travel eSIM.

Yes, personal hotspot and tethering are supported, so you can share your Puerto Rico eSIM connection with a laptop, tablet or a travel companion's phone. It is handy for getting work done from a cafe in San Juan, planning the next leg of your trip from your hotel, or keeping the family online during a drive to Ponce. Any data used while tethering draws from the same allowance as your phone, so streaming or large downloads over the hotspot will use it up faster. If you expect to tether often, it is worth picking a more generous data plan, or topping up when you run low. There are no roaming fees on shared data either, so everyone connected enjoys the same flat, prepaid mobile internet.

The best travel eSIM for Puerto Rico is one that combines wide coverage, easy setup and clear pricing, which is exactly what this plan offers. It runs on Claro, a leading local network, with reliable 4G across San Juan, Ponce and the whole island, so you are covered from the airport to El Yunque and the beach towns. Activation is simple: scan the QR code we email, install before you fly, and switch it on when you land. There are no roaming fees, just a flat prepaid price you know upfront, with top-ups if you need more data. It works on recent iPhones and Android phones, keeps your normal number active, supports hotspot sharing, and comes with 24/7 support, making it a dependable tourist SIM alternative for any Puerto Rico trip.
