Tip: if your current phone doesn't support eSIM but you travel often, an unlocked, mid-range eSIM-capable phone (e.g., Pixel 7a, iPhone SE 3, Samsung Galaxy A55) makes an excellent secondary travel device , pair it with a Cellesim plan and you have a full mobile internet kit for any destination.
For guaranteed speed and coverage. While your U.S. plan should work, it often relies on "partner" networks (like Claro PR), which can be slow (3G) or spotty. An eSIM often provides a more stable connection by locking onto the best local towers (like AT&T or T-Mobile's native 5G/LTE), ensuring your Google Maps works when you need it.
No! This is the #1 roaming trap. Most international carriers (like Vodafone UK, O2, EE, or European T-Mobile) sell "USA" roaming passes that do NOT include Puerto Rico. They classify PR as "Caribbean," which has extremely high pay-per-MB rates. A Cellesim eSIM is the only way to guarantee a fixed, cheap data price.
Yes, in the main areas. This is the most important question for tourists. Our eSIM connects to the best local networks, which provide strong 4G/LTE coverage in the towns on Vieques and Culebra, and at the main entrance/visitor centers of El Yunque National Forest. You may lose signal when deep in the rainforest trails, but you will be connected in the key tourist zones.
To give you the best speed and coverage, our eSIM connects to Puerto Rico’s premium Tier-1 networks, typically T-Mobile (which has a huge 5G network) or AT&T (Liberty PR). This ensures you get the fastest available 5G/LTE speeds, whether you are in Old San Juan or on the beach in Rincón.
Yes, for most of the journey. The ferry ride is long (60-90 mins), but it stays close to the coast. You will have a stable 4G signal for most of the trip, allowing you to stream or browse (though it may briefly drop in the middle of the channel).
Most modern phones do, but you must check our specific list here: eSIM Compatible Devices to be 100% sure before purchasing.
Yes. Coverage is excellent on the open grounds of El Morro and San Cristóbal forts, allowing you to share photos of the coast instantly.
Yes. Uber is the primary way to get around San Juan, and reliable data is essential to book rides from the airport or hotels without needing cash.
Absolutely. Public transport is limited outside the metro, so reliable data for Google Maps is vital for navigating rental cars to beaches like Luquillo.
