Stay Connected in El Salvador — No Roaming Fees
Planning to surf at El Tunco, hike the Santa Ana Volcano, or explore San Salvador's Bitcoin ecosystem? With Cardstorm's El Salvador eSIM, you'll have mobile data from the moment you land—without the shock of roaming charges. Plans range from 1GB to 100GB with durations between 7 and 30 days, giving you flexibility whether you're on a quick weekend trip or an extended stay.
Your plan timer starts only when you first connect to a local network in El Salvador, not when you buy. That means you can purchase weeks in advance and activate on arrival. Check your device compatibility by dialing *#06# and looking for an EID code.
- Instant activation: connect when you arrive, not when you purchase
- Hotspot enabled: share data with travel companions or multiple devices
- Stack up to 30 plans: add more data to the same eSIM as needed
- 60-day refund policy: full refund if you don't activate your plan
El Salvador eSIM: What Happens When Data Runs Out
When your data allowance is exhausted or your plan expires, your connection simply stops—no surprise charges, no automatic renewals. Because Cardstorm operates on a prepaid model and accepts crypto payments like Bitcoin and USDT, there's no credit card on file to charge.
Need more data? Simply purchase another plan using the same eSIM. You can load up to 30 plans on a single eSIM profile, so there's no need to reinstall or reconfigure. Whether you're extending your time at Lake Coatepeque or continuing your journey through Central America, topping up takes just a few minutes.

Compatibility
Most modern smartphones support eSIMs, including iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20+, Google Pixel 3+, and many others. To check if your device supports eSIM: dial *#06# — if you see an EID code, your device is compatible. Your device must also be unlocked (not carrier-locked). To check on iPhone: Settings → General → About → Carrier Lock → should show "No SIM Restrictions".

- Follow the on-screen instructions to install the eSIM.
- Turn on Data Roaming in your settings.
- Select the eSIM as your mobile data source.
- Done — your eSIM connects automatically upon arrival in the coverage area.
Important: install the eSIM before traveling — you'll need a stable Wi-Fi or mobile internet connection to complete the installation. Validity starts only when the eSIM first connects to a mobile network.
