Your Puerto Rico eSIM in two questions
Which Puerto Rico eSIM plan do I need?
Choose by trip length first, then by how much you'll use your phone, so the plan fits both.
- A city break in San Juan: Three days of maps, Uber rides and WhatsApp messages make 1 GB for 7 days a good fit.
- A week touring Ponce and Rincón: 3 GB for 15 days suits a week of maps, rides and WhatsApp messages.
- A fortnight touring the island: 5 GB for 30 days suits two weeks of maps, messages and email.
- A trip that also takes in neighbouring islands: Choose the Caribbean bundle, which covers Puerto Rico and 25 countries.
Every plan can be topped up, and the longest plan lasts 30 days.
