Collection: eSIM for El Salvador

Chivo, in partnership with Airalo: by GB, from 1 to 20 GB and from 7 to 30 days, or unlimited with 3 GB per day at high speed, from 3 to 30 days. It runs on the Movistar 4G network and includes hotspot. If the same trip takes you to Guatemala or Honduras, a regional eSIM for the Americas includes El Salvador.

If you still have questions, Lia can help you choose.

The entry package is $92 MXN: 7 days with 1 GB, for a short getaway with maps and messages. If you need more, there are packages with more GB or unlimited data. No contract or monthly fee.

By GB you get one data allowance for the whole trip: 3 to 5 GB is enough for two to four weeks with normal use. Unlimited includes 3 GB per day at high speed and then continues at 384 Kbps until the daily reset; it suits you if you upload video, work remotely or share your connection with hotspot.

Chivo uses the Movistar network with 4G technology (not 5G). San Salvador, Santa Ana, San Miguel and beaches such as El Tunco and El Zonte usually have coverage.

In El Imposible, Montecristo, on the climbs up the volcanoes and on some rural stretches of the Ruta de las Flores there may be none: download offline maps before you set out.

No: Chivo works only in El Salvador. If you leave via La Hachadura or San Cristóbal toward Guatemala, or via El Amatillo or El Poy toward Honduras, choose that country's eSIM or a regional eSIM for the Americas; below you'll find the top destinations from El Salvador.

Chivo can't be topped up: when the days or data run out, you buy a new eSIM in minutes. If your trip is long, choose a 30-day package from the start.

No. A local line is activated with an ID, but your eSIM is bought online and you get the QR by email instantly. Your usual SIM stays in your phone for your messages and calls.

You get the QR by email instantly. Install it before you travel, over Wi-Fi and up to 90 days before.

Days count from the moment it first connects to a network in El Salvador, when you land at the international airport or cross the border.
