How to verify eSIM support on your device

1. iPhone: Settings → Cellular → look for "Add eSIM" or "Add Cellular Plan". You can also dial *#06# , if you see an "EID" (32-digit number), your phone has eSIM hardware.
2. Android: Settings → Connections (or Network & Internet) → SIM Cards → look for "Download a SIM instead" or "Add eSIM".
3. EID check: most eSIM-capable Android phones show EID in Settings → About Phone → Status.

Tip: Even if your phone supports eSIM hardware, it must be unlocked (not carrier-locked) to use third-party eSIMs like Cellesim. Most phones bought outright are unlocked; phones from carrier instalment plans may require unlocking after the contract is paid off.

Almost every flagship smartphone released since 2019 supports eSIM, making it ideal for international travel. Compatible models include iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, plus a growing list of mid-range devices. If your phone has Settings → Cellular → "Add eSIM", you're ready to use a Cellesim plan abroad.

Travellers benefit most from eSIM because it eliminates the airport SIM-card queue, removes the need to swap your home SIM out, and lets you keep your usual phone number active for SMS verification. A Cellesim travel eSIM activates the moment you land , no shop visit required.

 For garanteret hastighed og dækning. Mens din amerikanske plan bør fungere, er den ofte afhængig af "partner"-netværk (som Claro PR), som kan være langsomme (3G) eller plettede. Et eSIM giver ofte en mere stabil forbindelse ved at låse fast på de bedste lokale tårne ​​(såsom AT&T eller T-Mobiles oprindelige 5G/LTE), hvilket sikrer, at dine Google Maps fungerer, når du har brug for det. 

Nej! Dette er roamingfælden nr. 1. De fleste internationale selskaber (som Vodafone UK, O2, EE eller European T-Mobile) sælger "USA"-roamingkort, der IKKE inkluderer Puerto Rico. De klassificerer PR som "Caribien", som har ekstremt høje pay-per-MB-satser. Et Cellesim eSIM er den eneste måde at garantere en fast, billig datapris. 

Ja, i hovedområderne. Dette er det vigtigste spørgsmål for turister. Vores eSIM forbinder til de bedste lokale netværk, som giver stærk 4G/LTE dækning i byerne på Vieques og Culebra og ved hovedindgangen/besøgscentrene i El Yunque National Forest. Du kan miste signalet, når du er dybt inde i regnskovens stier, men du vil være forbundet i de vigtigste turistzoner. 

 For at give dig den bedste hastighed og dækning, forbinder vores eSIM til Puerto Ricos premium Tier-1-netværk, typisk T-Mobile (som har et enormt 5G-netværk) eller AT&T (Liberty PR). Dette sikrer, at du får de hurtigste tilgængelige 5G/LTE-hastigheder, uanset om du er i Old San Juan eller på stranden i Rincón. 

Ja, det meste af rejsen. Færgeturen er lang (60-90 minutter), men den forbliver tæt på kysten. Du vil have et stabilt 4G-signal det meste af turen, så du kan streame eller browse (selvom det kortvarigt kan falde midt på kanalen). 

 Det gør de fleste moderne telefoner, men du skal tjekke vores specifikke liste her: eSIM-kompatible enheder for at være 100 % sikker, før du køber. 

Ja. Dækningen er fremragende på de åbne grunde El Morro og San Cristóbal forter, så du kan dele billeder af kysten med det samme. 

Ja. Uber er den primære måde at komme rundt i San Juan på, og pålidelige data er essentielle for at booke ture fra lufthavnen eller hotellerne uden at have brug for kontanter. 

Absolut. Offentlig transport er begrænset uden for metroen, så pålidelige data til Google Maps er afgørende for at navigere udlejningsbiler til strande som Luquillo. 

Ja. Du vil generelt have signal ved marinaerne i Fajardo eller La Parguera for at få adgang til dine digitale billetter, før du går ombord på natkajakture.
