Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for El Salvador?

Travel eSIM plans that provide a phone number, inbound voice, and SMS are available for El Salvador through providers such as GlobaleSIM and Roamify. These plans use dialing code +1, which matches El Salvador’s local dialing code in the eSIMDB data, giving travelers a local number. Prices for these packages start around $6.50 USD and range up to about $105 USD, with data allowances from 1 GB to 20 GB and validities from 7 days to 365 days. Some Roamify offerings also allow outbound SMS, while many include tethering and support 3G/4G networks.

In addition, a Roamify plan uses dialing code +33, a foreign code that supplies a non‑local number. If a local El Salvador number is required for local services or contacts, choose a plan that lists dialing code +1. All available eSIMs support inbound voice and SMS, and a subset of plans also support outbound SMS and additional features such as tethering.
