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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Puerto Rico, and how many prepaid data plans are there?

There are over 110 travel eSIM brands available for use in Puerto Rico, and more than 2, 300 prepaid data plans. The extensive range of plans gives travelers plenty of options to find an eSIM that suits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Puerto Rico?

Unlimited data eSIM plans for Puerto Rico are offered by several providers. Firsty provides a one‑day unlimited plan that costs $0 with ads displayed and a speed capped at 256 kbps; this is the most inexpensive option but with limited throughput. Yesim offers unlimited data plans ranging from 1 to 30 days, priced between $9.50 and $117.57, and includes tethering with the possibility of throttling on high‑traffic periods. Roamify also has unlimited packages valid for 3 to 30 days, with prices between $16.00 and $100.00, and similarly supports tethering while allowing that the speed may be reduced under heavy use. All three options feature unlimited data, though speed may be restricted depending on network load and plan terms.

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

AT&T: "A major telecommunications provider offering extensive coverage and high-speed data services across Puerto Rico."
Claro: "A leading mobile network operator providing comprehensive coverage and a range of services throughout the island."
T-Mobile: "A prominent carrier known for its widespread network and reliable service in Puerto Rico."
Liberty Mobile: "A significant provider offering mobile services with a growing network presence on the island."

In addition to these major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), Puerto Rico has several Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) that offer mobile services by leasing access from the major carriers. For example, Boost Mobile operates as an MVNO in Puerto Rico. However, it's important to note that most travel eSIMs rely on MNO infrastructure, not MVNOs.

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

Travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS for Puerto Rico are available from several providers listed on eSIMDB. Providers such as GlobaleSIM and Roamify offer plans ranging from $5.50 USD to $105.00 USD, with validity periods from 7 days up to 365 days. All Puerto Rico plans use the dialing code +1, so the phone number is local to Puerto Rico, and they support inbound and outbound voice calls and SMS. Roamify also offers larger global plans that include Puerto Rico coverage, but those use a foreign dialing code (+33) so the number would not be a local Puerto Rican number. These plans allow the purchase of a local phone number that can receive calls, send SMS, and make calls locally in Puerto Rico.
