Collection: eSIM for Nicaragua

Nicarcell, in partnership with Airalo, is the data eSIM for Nicaragua: you can choose a package by GB, from 2 to 10 GB and from 15 to 30 days, or an unlimited one from 3 to 15 days. It runs on the Tigo and Claro networks with LTE technology and lets you share your connection. If the same trip takes you through several Central American countries, a regional eSIM for the Americas includes Nicaragua.

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

There are packages by GB with 2 GB for 15 days and 3, 5 or 10 GB for 30 days, and unlimited packages for 3, 5, 7, 10 and 15 days. For a getaway with maps and messages, a 2 or 3 GB package is enough; to work or upload photos and video, choose one with more data or unlimited. No contract or monthly fee: you pay once for the package you choose.

By GB you get one data allowance for the whole trip, useful if you mostly use maps, messages and social media. The unlimited package includes 3 GB per day at high speed; after that you keep browsing at 384 Kbps until the daily reset. It suits you if you upload video, make video calls, work remotely or share your connection with other devices. If your trip lasts more than 15 days, choose a 30-day package by GB.

Nicarcell connects to the Tigo and Claro networks with LTE technology; it does not offer 5G. Signal depends on those networks' coverage in each area: in cities such as Managua, Granada and León it is usually more stable than in rural areas, on volcanoes, islands or along some roads.

If you are heading to Ometepe, the Isletas, the Pacific coast or the Caribbean, download offline maps before you set out.

No. Nicarcell works only within Nicaragua. If you cross into Costa Rica or Honduras, choose that country's eSIM or a regional eSIM for the Americas. Below you'll find the top destinations from Nicaragua.

Nicarcell can't be topped up. When your package's days or data run out, you buy a new eSIM online and install it in minutes. If you know your trip will be long, choose a 30-day package by GB from the start.

Yes. Nicarcell lets you use your phone as a hotspot for your laptop, tablet or other phones, with no separate sharing limit. What you share is deducted from your package data, and on unlimited packages it counts toward the 3 GB per day at high speed.

You get the QR by email instantly. Install it before you travel, over a stable Wi-Fi connection and up to 90 days ahead: installing it does not start the validity, and your usual SIM stays in your phone.

The days start when it first connects to a network in Nicaragua, whether you land in Managua or cross the border by land.
