198 of these 282 plans were checked against the seller's own shop on 17 October 2026. The rest come from the seller's own feed or plan pages and are not yet independently checked.
The Watchdog Pick is chosen automatically: the lowest real price per GB of the 282 plans in this view. Bulk data pools above 50 GB cannot win it, because their per GB rate only exists if you use data no traveller uses. Providers cannot pay for it, and a commission never changes the ranking. Prices are shown in USD and can change at checkout.
Price per GB counts only data you can use inside the validity, at most 3 GB a day, so a big pool on a short validity cannot buy the top spot. Every provider's best two plans come first, then the rest. A plan marked Unverified price undercuts every other provider here by more than half and waits at the end until we have checked it on the seller's site. How we rank
Unlimited rows show the daily amount at full speed. Some rows also show the speed after that amount. A row with no speed does not mean the plan stays fast, so check the plan on the seller's site.

Cheapest eSIM for Cuba: the numbers
As of 17 October 2026, 06:01 GMT, the cheapest eSIM for Cuba is Yesim with 10 GB for 30 Days at $100.00. That is $10.00 per GB, the best rate of the 282 plans we compare from 17 providers. 128 support top ups. That timestamp is the exact moment of our latest price check, and the table above always shows the live order.
Which is the best eSIM for Cuba?
There is no single best eSIM for Cuba, because the right plan depends on how long you stay and how much data you use. What we can do is rank the 282 plans on the numbers, as they stand on 18 October 2026:
- Best value overall Yesim, 10 GB for 30 Days at $100.00. That is $10.00 per GB, the lowest real rate of every Cuba plan we track.
- Best for a short trip eSIM4Travel, 1 GB for 1 Day at $17.69. The cheapest ticket that still gives you at least 1 GB for a week or less.
- Highest daily cap on an unlimited plan CloudOn, 20 Days at $827.99, full speed up to 2 GB a day. Set that daily cap against the fixed plan above before you pay for the word unlimited.
None of these picks is chosen by a person. Each one is the first row of a sort on live prices, so it changes whenever a provider moves a price, and Yesim did not pay to be named here.
Which mobile networks does Cuba have?
4G reaches Havana and the main tourist areas including Varadero, Trinidad and the larger provincial cities. Rural Cuba, the mountains and much of the coast outside the resorts have limited service or none.
- Cubacel: Cubacel, the mobile arm of the state monopoly ETECSA, is the only mobile network in the country. Every travel eSIM that works in Cuba is roaming onto it.
There is nothing to choose between. One state network carries all mobile traffic, and ETECSA does not sell eSIMs itself, so a travel eSIM is a roaming arrangement onto Cubacel rather than a local plan.
Is 5G available in Cuba?
No consumer 5G. The country runs on 4G at best, and speeds are well below what the technology label suggests because backhaul capacity is limited.
How much data do you need in Cuba?
Light use is about 500 MB a day. That covers maps, messages, and some browsing. Normal use with photos, social apps, and short videos runs 1 to 1.5 GB a day. Streaming and hotspot use can eat 2 to 3 GB a day. Here is what each size costs in Cuba right now:
Are unlimited eSIMs for Cuba really unlimited?
Not always. 52 of the 282 plans above are sold as unlimited, and most of them carry a daily fair use cap. For Cuba the caps we can see published are 1 to 2 GB a day: past that the speed drops, often to 1 Mbps or less, until the clock resets. That is fine for messages and maps, slow for video. At $10.00 per GB from Yesim, a fixed plan often works out cheaper than unlimited unless you genuinely burn several GB a day. That is why we rank by price per GB and not by the word on the label.
Here is what each seller on this page actually allows per day before it slows you down. No seller publishes this next to its rivals, which is exactly why it is worth showing.
Every seller that publishes a daily allowance is listed on our daily data caps page, with the cheapest plan at each one. The gap between the top and bottom of that table is the whole point. Two plans both sold as unlimited can differ several times over in what you actually get at full speed, and the cheaper one is not always the smaller allowance.
eSIM or a local SIM card at the airport in Cuba?
An eSIM is ready before you land. No queue, no shop, no handing over your passport at a counter for a tourist SIM card. Data for Cuba starts at $15.00 on this page, which is hard for airport kiosks to beat. A local SIM still makes sense if you need a local phone number or plan to stay for months. For a normal trip, the eSIM wins on price and effort.
Setting up your Cuba eSIM
Pick the plan, not the brandThe cheapest rate in Cuba today is $10.00 per GB from Yesim, against a median of $28.21. The QR code arrives by email within minutes of paying.
Install before you flyScan the QR code on wifi at home. Installation needs a connection, and the one thing you will not have when you land in Cuba is a working connection.
Turn it on when you landEnable the eSIM and turn on data roaming for it, then give it a minute to find the network. Expect 4G.
Know what happens when it runs out128 of the 282 plans here can be topped up, so running out is not the end of the trip. If you would rather over buy than top up, the cheapest plan with at least 5 GB is Yesim at $55.00.
Good to know before you land in Cuba
Not every travel eSIM provider supports Cuba, and coverage here is an exception in most catalogues rather than the rule. Verify Cuba is named on the plan itself, because a plan sold as Caribbean or global very often excludes it.
Jose Marti International in Havana is the main gateway. Buying a local SIM means an ETECSA office, a queue and a passport, so an eSIM installed before you fly is a genuinely different experience.
Expect slow. Data works for messaging and maps and struggles with anything heavier. Download maps, translations and bookings before you arrive, and treat hotel wifi as a bonus rather than a plan.
Cuba Travel eSIM FAQ
Everything you need to know about using an eSIM in Cuba
What is the cheapest eSIM for Cuba?
Right now the cheapest option ranked by price per GB is Yesim with 10 GB for 30 Days at $100.00. That works out to $10.00 per GB. Prices change often, so the table above is re-sorted at every price check.
Which is the best eSIM for Cuba?
It depends on the trip, so we rank rather than pick a favourite. On today's prices the best value for Cuba is Yesim at $10.00 per GB, the lowest real rate of the 282 plans we compare. For heavy daily use there are 52 unlimited plans, most with a daily fair use cap, and they only win if you genuinely burn several GB a day. Every pick on this page is the first row of a sort on live prices. No provider can pay to be named best.
Is eSIM available in Cuba?
Yes. We track 282 prepaid travel eSIM plans from 17 providers that work in Cuba. You need a phone that supports eSIM and is not locked to a carrier; most iPhones from the XS onward and most flagship Android phones from 2019 on qualify.
Do Cuba eSIMs support 5G?
The networks our plans use in Cuba currently run on 4G. That is enough for maps, messaging, video calls, and streaming in most cases.
Can I buy a Cuba eSIM online before I travel?
Yes, and you should. Every plan on this page is sold online and delivered by email as a QR code within minutes. Install it on wifi at home, leave the line switched off, and turn on data roaming for it when you land in Cuba. The validity clock on most plans only starts when the eSIM first connects.
Can I top up my Cuba eSIM if I run out?
Yes. 128 of the 282 plans here support top ups, so you can add data without buying a new eSIM. The rest need a fresh plan once the data ends.
Is an eSIM cheaper than a local SIM card in Cuba?
For a trip of days or weeks, usually yes. Data for Cuba starts at $15.00 for 1 GB on this page, with no queue, no shop and no passport handed over at a counter. A local SIM card can still win if you stay for months or need a local phone number.
Will I still receive bank SMS and OTP codes?
Yes, if you keep your home SIM active. Travel eSIMs are data only. Your phone can hold both at once, so leave your normal SIM on for SMS and use the eSIM for data. Turn off roaming data on the home SIM to avoid charges.
Do these eSIMs include a phone number or calls?
The plans we compare are data only, so there is no local number. Calls work fine over WhatsApp, FaceTime, or any app that uses data. If you need a real local number, a local SIM is the better tool.
Does a Cuba eSIM work on iPhone and Android?
Yes, on any carrier unlocked phone with eSIM support: iPhone XS or newer, Google Pixel 3 or newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 or newer and most recent flagships. The plans are identical on both; only the install steps differ, and both take about a minute on wifi.
How many GB do I need for a week in Cuba?
Around 3 to 5 GB covers a week of maps, messaging, and normal browsing. Heavy video or hotspot use needs 1 to 2 GB per day. Today the cheapest plan with at least 5 GB is Yesim at $55.00.
Which Cuba eSIM gives the most data per day?
Of the plans sold as unlimited here, Tourist eSIM allows the most at full speed, 2 GB a day from $104.53. The smallest allowance on this page is FlyEsim at 1 GB a day. Every one of them is advertised as unlimited, and past the daily allowance the speed drops, often to 1 Mbps or less, until the next day. Check the allowance, not the word.
