Terrible esim. Does not work at all. And worst of all no customer service support. And to top it off they have a terrible app. No refund. Feel it's a scam.please don't purchase this esim.

Horrible experience. I was never able to activate the eSIM. I kept getting kicked out as the app attempted to register on different networks. I followed dozens of troubleshooting steps with customer service, all without success. I escalated the issue twice, but it was never resolved. I ended up spending four hours of my vacation trying to get it to work.
In the end, I purchased another eSIM from a different provider — it worked like a charm. I even bought another one for use in Panama, which also worked flawlessly and was incredibly easy to activate.

Avoid this service like the plague. It feels like a scam. Even the app looks like an online casino, not a professional eSIM provider.

Horrible experience. Never again. I lost $25 on the Global XL plan, which I never got to use.

Horrible. The service never worked. SIM never was able to register with a network. I tried troubleshooting for 2 days losing 2 or 3 hours talking with CS, they asked me to do several things nothing worked, they gave another Sim same thing. The CS was slow to respond and powerless, I escalated the ticket and nobody answer. I purchased a Sim from other company and worked great. Never again! Beware is a scam because I lost my $25!

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Panama?

Panama's mobile network infrastructure is primarily supported by two major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs):

Más Móvil (formerly +Movil): The largest network operator in Panama, offering extensive coverage, including rural areas and islands.
Tigo (formerly Movistar): Provides widespread LTE coverage throughout Panama, including in rural areas.

In addition to these MNOs, Panama hosts several Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs), which offer mobile services by leasing access from major carriers. For example, Digicel Panama operates as an MVNO, providing mobile voice and data services. However, it's important to note that most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of MNOs rather than MVNOs.

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

Travel eSIMs that include a local phone number with voice and SMS capabilities are available for Panama from several providers. GlobaleSIM, Airalo, Roamify and Earth Esim each offer plans that supply a phone number with inbound and outbound voice capability, and SMS support (most plans provide both inbound and outbound SMS). The plans that use the dialing code +1 are treated as local Panama numbers in the dataset, and the Airalo plans use the country code +507, which is the official Panama code; Roamify and Earth Esim also offer plans with a foreign dialing code +33, which means the number will not be a local Panama number.

Prices start around $6 USD for 1 GB of data valid for 7 days, and increase to roughly $105 USD for 20 GB of data valid for 365 days, with data allowances ranging from 1 GB to 20 GB in 1‑day to 365‑day validity periods.
