eSIMCard eSIM Data Plans for Central America

eSIMCard does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for Central America. The plans with the name “Unlimited” actually allow only 1 GB of high‑speed data per day and then slow the connection to 500 kbps, which means the data are capped once the daily quota is reached. If travelers need no speed throttling, they can choose one of the fixed data plans: for example, the 100 GB plan for 180 days, the 50 GB plan for 90 days, or the 25 GB plan for 30 days. These options give a large amount of high‑speed data without the speed restrictions that apply after the daily limit on the “Unlimited” plans. Selecting a fixed‑data plan is generally more cost‑effective unless a user is an extremely heavy data consumer.

eSIMCard does not offer an eSIM with a local phone number or SMS capability for Central America. The provider’s Central American plans are strictly data‑only, so travelers cannot receive or send traditional SMS or place/receive calls through the eSIM. However, VoIP services such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage can be used over the data connection to make calls and send messages.

eSIMCard offers several eSIM plans that cover the five Central American countries—Costa Rica, El Salvador, Panama, Nicaragua, and Honduras. For example, the Global Max Data for plan includes all five countries, while the Unlimited eSIM Data For in Global plan covers Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, and El Salvador. The two iterations of the eSIM, , , Global, Unthrottled plan also provide coverage in Central America—one version includes Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua, and El Salvador, and the other version adds Panama, thereby covering all five nations mentioned. Each of these plans is also available in a broad range of other international regions.
