What network will the eSIM join in Puerto Rico?

The eSIM connects to local operators' networks, for instance Claro and Liberty, over 4G/LTE.

Do I keep my Italian number?

Yes. The eSIM is simply an added data plan on your phone; the Italian SIM and your number stay in use for calls and texts.

How is the eSIM activated?

A QR code lands in your inbox once you have paid. Scan it in the phone settings, preferably ahead of the trip, and you are online upon arrival.

Is an eSIM necessary, or is roaming sufficient?

Beyond the EU, roaming under Italian plans is costly and not always on offer. An eSIM charges a flat price for data, free of surprises.

How much does an eSIM for Puerto Rico cost?

eSIM plans for Puerto Rico start from €1.99. You pay once for the amount of data you choose — no subscription, no monthly fees and no hidden roaming charges. Plans with more data or longer validity cost more.

Can I top up or renew the plan for Puerto Rico?

Yes. When the data runs out or the validity expires, just buy a new plan — the eSIM profile already installed is kept and does not need to be installed again. You stay connected without interruption.

Can I share the connection (hotspot) in Puerto Rico?

Yes. You can share the connection in Puerto Rico through a personal hotspot with a computer, tablet or other devices. Shared data is deducted from your plan, so allow a few extra gigabytes if you expect to use the hotspot often.

How many GB do I need for Puerto Rico?

For a normal trip, 1–3 GB a week is enough for maps, messages and occasional browsing. With social media and photo sharing allow about 5 GB; for streaming, video calls or a hotspot count on 10 GB or more. If the volume is not enough, you can buy an additional plan at any time.

Is the eSIM compatible with my phone?

The eSIM works with all compatible devices — including iPhone XS and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, and Google Pixel 3 and later. The phone must also be free of operator locks (not blocked). You can check compatibility in the settings under "Mobile data", or by dialling *#06# to see whether an EID code is shown.
