Panama travel data eSIM
A Panama eSIM is a digital data plan that gives your phone mobile internet across Panama without a physical SIM card. You buy a plan, scan a QR code, and you are online. No plastic SIM, no airport queues.
Your home SIM stays in your phone, so you keep your normal number for calls and texts while the eSIM handles data. Cheaper than roaming, faster than finding a SIM shop when you land.
Local networks
Your MegaEsim Panama plan roams on the local operators below. Your phone picks whichever gives the strongest signal where you are standing, so there is nothing to choose or set up.
18 plans are available for Panama, from $1.29 up to $446.88. Every plan is data only, delivered by QR code, and starts counting when you connect on arrival.

Same plan, same coverage, wherever you go in Panama.
Every plan
Unlimited plans never run out. They run at full speed up to a daily allowance, then carry on at a reduced speed. Data plans give you a set amount of data to use across the whole validity period.

The alternatives
The same trip, three ways to pay for data.
Sorted before you leave home
From $1.29, fixed
Cheap, once you have one
Varies by shop
Nothing to do, and it costs
Often $10 or more a day
Everyday use
Because your home SIM stays in the phone, WhatsApp still runs on your own number, and so do iMessage and the SMS codes your bank sends. Everything else simply uses the eSIM's data, exactly as it does on Wi-Fi at home.
Getting connected
Buying and installing takes about five minutes. The only waiting happens after you land.
If plans change
Buy now and decide later. There are three situations where we refund you, and you have a long window to ask.

Heading to Panama soon? This Panama Travel Data eSIM keeps you connected from the moment you touch down, starting at $1.29. It connects to movistar, the country's main network. Here is what you need to know before you go.
In Panama, your eSIM runs on movistar. It is the network locals rely on, so you get solid coverage in the places you are actually likely to be.
A short trip with light use, maps, messages, a bit of social media, is well covered by a smaller plan. Our 0.1GB for 7 days at $1.29 is a solid starting point if you are only in Panama for a few days.
For a longer stay, or if you stream music and share photos daily, step up to 3GB for 30 days at $14.07. It gives you enough headroom that you are not watching your data balance the whole trip.
If you would rather not think about a data cap at all, the Panama Data eSIM also comes in an Unlimited option. Full speed up to 1GB a day, then a reduced 1 Mbps for the rest of that day, plenty for maps, messaging and browsing even after the cap. It starts at $5.52 for a single day, or $38.61 for a longer trip.
After you buy, you get a QR code by email. On an iPhone, open Settings, then Cellular, then Add eSIM, and scan the code. On Android, open Settings, then Network, then SIMs, and add an eSIM the same way. Do this before you leave, while you still have wifi, then just switch on data roaming for the new line once you land in Panama.
Home network roaming in Panama can rack up several dollars a day fast, and airport SIM counters mean lines, paperwork and a physical card to keep track of. Install this eSIM before you fly, land, switch it on, and you are connected within a minute, no counters, no plastic, no surprise bill.
