Claro across a compact country
Your eSIM connects to Claro on 4G. El Salvador is the smallest country in Central America and you can cross it in a few hours, which helps — San Salvador, Santa Ana, La Libertad, El Tunco and the Ruta de las Flores towns are all covered.
The northern mountains along the Honduran border are the thinnest part.
Surf, volcanoes and getting about
The Pacific breaks at El Tunco, El Zonte and Punta Roca are the main draw for a lot of visitors, and all have coverage in town and along the beach road.
Santa Ana volcano is a popular guided climb with a crater lake at the top. Coverage holds for much of the ascent. The Ruta de las Flores — a string of hill towns known for coffee and weekend food markets — is well covered throughout, and worth having maps for since the towns run together.
How much data
A week surfing and touring runs on 1 GB at £2.99. A fortnight covering more ground wants 3 GB. Note the plan sizes here stop at 5 GB, so longer or heavier trips should plan around that.
Good to know
Questions, answered
Is there coverage at the surf beaches?+
Yes. El Tunco, El Zonte and Punta Roca all have coverage in town and along the beach road, so checking swell forecasts is straightforward.
What's the largest plan available?+
5 GB is the top tier for El Salvador. For most trips that's ample given how compact the country is, but it's worth knowing if you were planning a long stay with heavy use.
How do I install it?+
After checkout we email your eSIM and a QR code. Scan it in your phone's settings, switch the line on, and you're ready — do it before you fly and it activates when you land.
Will it work on my phone?+
Most phones from the last few years support eSIM (iPhone XS and newer, recent Samsung/Pixel). Check your phone in Settings, or use our compatibility checker.
When does my plan start?+
Validity counts from first connection in the destination, not from purchase — so you can buy and install early without wasting days.
Can I keep using my normal number?+
Yes. The eSIM is data-only and runs alongside your usual SIM, so calls and texts on your main number still work.
