Choose your data plan
Which plan type is right for you?
Fixed data plans give you a set amount of data, for example 1 GB or 5 GB, to use at full speed for the whole plan period. When it runs out, you top up or buy again. Pick this if you know roughly how much you'll use.
Unlimited plans have no total data cap for the plan period, but each day includes a high-speed allowance. Once you use that day's allowance, you carry on at a reduced speed. Reduced-speed data has a daily limit too, and if you reach it, data pauses until the allowance resets 24 hours after you activate the eSIM. Pick this for heavier or less predictable use. A fair-use policy applies.

Good to know in Central America
Coverage
Signal off the main roads
Signal is usually best in towns and cities and fades on mountain roads and in remote areas. Canada's advice for Nicaragua notes coverage outside urban areas can be lacking, especially in the mountains. Save maps and shuttle details before leaving the main routes.
Arrival
One stay for four countries
Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua share a border-control agreement (CA-4). UK travel advice explains that your permitted stay starts at your first entry and doesn't restart at each border, while visa rules still depend on your passport. Get a stamp at every checkpoint.
Outdoors
Volcano and jungle hikes
Volcano climbs and jungle treks can run beyond signal, and Canada's travel advice notes there is no mountain rescue service in Guatemala. Go with a reputable guide, tell someone your plans, and download offline maps before you start.
Guatemala also has 1500 for tourist assistance, and Canada's advice lists 118 for police and 128 for an ambulance in Nicaragua. Numbers from the UK's travel advice.
