Common Questions

The details worth knowing about your El Salvador eSIM

Your eSIM connects to Tigo, Claro, Movistar, and Digicel. All four use 4G bands B2, B5, and B28. Tigo and Claro also offer 5G. This gives you good urban coverage, but rural and indoor signal depends heavily on phone support for band B28 (700 MHz).

Coverage outside cities relies on the 700 MHz B28 band. If your phone lacks B28, you may lose signal in rural and mountainous areas. Even with B28, remote mountain zones can still have gaps. Median download speed nationwide is 25.8 Mbps, slower in less populated regions.

No. This eSIM covers El Salvador only. It disconnects at the border. If you cross into Guatemala or Honduras, you need a separate eSIM or plan for those countries. Coverage does not carry over, even on the same operator network across the border.

Data is not filtered or blocked by the eSIM or local operators. Full internet access is provided. However, speeds vary: median download is 25.8 Mbps. Congestion in San Salvador may slow you. No specific throttling of video or VoIP is reported, but expect typical network management.

Yes. El Salvador requires personal ID registration for all SIM activations, including eSIMs. Your provider collects your passport information during purchase or activation. Without submitting valid ID, the eSIM will not activate. This applies to all visitors, regardless of nationality.
