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.

 Paket khusus ini hanya berlaku di Panama. Ini adalah titik paling kritis bagi para backpacker. Jika Anda bepergian dari Kosta Rika (Bocas del Toro) atau terbang ke Kolombia (Medellín/Bogotá), penerbangan Anda akan berhenti di perbatasan. Untuk perjalanan multi-negara yang lancar, kami sangat merekomendasikan paket eSIM Regional Amerika Latin kami. 

Ya, sempurna. Ini adalah solusi ideal bagi penumpang transit. Anda dapat memasang eSIM sebelum terbang dan eSIM akan aktif saat Anda mendarat di Tocumen (PTY). Hal ini memungkinkan Anda menggunakan WhatsApp, memeriksa email, atau memesan Uber selama singgah, semuanya tanpa bergantung pada Wi-Fi bandara yang lambat dan gratis atau membayar biaya roaming yang tinggi. 

Bervariasi. Anda akan mendapatkan jangkauan 4G/LTE yang sangat baik di Kota Panama, Colon, dan kota-kota utama di Bocas del Toro (Kota Bocas).

• Bocas del Toro: Anda akan mendapatkan sinyal di kota utama, namun sinyal tersebut akan terputus-putus atau tidak ada sama sekali di pantai-pantai terpencil (seperti Pantai Bintang Laut) atau di dalam hutan.
• Kepulauan San Blas (Guna Yala): Pulau-pulau ini sangat terpencil. sedikit atau bahkan tidak ada sinyal seluler. eSIM diperuntukkan bagi daratan, bukan untuk daerah otonom ini.

 Untuk memberi Anda kecepatan dan jangkauan terbaik, eSIM kami terhubung ke penyedia premium Panama, biasanya +Móvil (Kabel & Nirkabel) atau Tigo. Hal ini memastikan Anda mendapatkan kecepatan 4G/LTE tercepat yang tersedia, baik saat Anda berada di Kanal Panama (Miraflores Locks) atau di Casco Viejo (Kota Tua). 

Tidak! Ini adalah kesalahan umum. Meskipun Panama menggunakan Dolar AS, Panama adalah negara independen dan BUKAN bagian dari rencana domestik AS mana pun. Sebagian besar operator rumah (seperti AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile) akan mengenakan tarif "Day Pass" internasional yang mahal (misalnya $10-$14 per hari). Cellesim eSIM adalah biaya prabayar satu kali yang jauh lebih murah. 

 Sebagian besar ponsel modern memilikinya, namun Anda harus memeriksa daftar spesifik kami di sini: Perangkat yang Kompatibel dengan eSIM untuk memastikan 100% sebelum membeli. 

Ya. Uber adalah cara teraman untuk berkeliling Panama City, dan data yang andal sangat penting untuk memesan tumpangan dan menghindari tawar-menawar harga taksi di jalan raya.

Sangat. Waze adalah aplikasi navigasi pilihan di Panama untuk menghindari lalu lintas padat, dan data real-time sangat penting untuk berkendara di Jalan Raya Pan-Amerika.
