## FAQ

### How much does an eSIM for El Salvador cost?

El Salvador eSIM plans from SimKit range from US$1.11 to US$23.65 depending on how much data and how many days you need. The entry plan is 100 MB for 7 days at US$1.11.

### Which El Salvador eSIM plan is the best value?

Per gigabyte, the best value is the 1 GB plan for 7 days at US$3.69, which works out at about US$3.69 per GB. A plan you only half use is not a bargain, though, so size it to your trip. Every plan here supports top-ups, so it is safe to start smaller and add data if you run low.

### Which networks do El Salvador eSIMs use?

SimKit El Salvador eSIMs connect to movistar and Claro. You get the same coverage as a local SIM without swapping anything physical.

### Can I use one eSIM for El Salvador and other countries on the same trip?

Yes. The South America (20 countries) eSIM covers El Salvador and 19 more destinations on a single plan, switching to a partner network at each border with nothing to reinstall. For El Salvador alone, the single-country plans on this page are cheaper per GB.

### Is the El Salvador eSIM 5G?

SimKit El Salvador eSIMs run on 4G/LTE for reliable coverage across the country. Actual speed depends on your device and local network conditions.

### How do I install and activate an eSIM for El Salvador?

After you buy, open your order on the phone you'll travel with and tap the install button, or scan the QR code from another screen. The eSIM is ready in under two minutes. Activate it when you arrive in El Salvador.

### When should I buy an eSIM for El Salvador?

Any time before you travel. The plan's validity only starts when the eSIM first connects to a network in El Salvador, so you can buy as soon as you book, install on Wi-Fi at home, and it activates when you land.

### Can I top up my El Salvador eSIM if I run out of data?

Yes. If you run low, you can add more data to the same eSIM in a couple of taps from your account, right in the browser, without buying a new one or changing your number.

### Will the eSIM work in my phone?

Most phones from 2018 onward support eSIM (iPhone XS and later, recent Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy models) and must be carrier-unlocked. If your phone shows an "Add eSIM" option in settings, you're good.
