Giga.Tel eSIM Data Plans for Central America

Giga.Tel does not provide a truly unlimited high‑speed data plan for Central America. All of its plans that carry “Unlimited” in the name actually deliver 1 GB per day and then throttle speed to 512 kbps once the daily quota is met.

If a traveler needs more data without the reduced speed, Giga.Tel offers several fixed‑data alternatives. For example, the Discover Global 20 GB plan gives 20 GB of data for 365 days, and the Global 20 GB plan provides the same amount for 30 days. These fixed‑data options are typically more economical unless the user requires a high‑speed data supply without any limits.

Giga.Tel does not provide Central America eSIMs that include a phone number or SMS capability. The available plans from this provider are data‑only, so travelers cannot receive or send traditional text messages or use a local prepaid phone number for calls.

Users can still engage in voice and messaging through popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage, which operate over the data connection supplied by the Giga.Tel eSIM.

The Central American countries covered by Giga.Tel’s plans are Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama. All of the plans in the dataset that include Central American coverage—Global (Not Include Mainland China), Caribbean and Latamlink—cover every country in the region. Discover Global covers Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua and El Salvador, leaving out Panama. The North America A plan covers Costa Rica, Panama and El Salvador. The Global plan listed last covers Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Panama. Several of these plans also provide coverage beyond Central America, although the specific foreign destinations are not included in this.
