399 of these 1027 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 1027 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.
Some links here earn us a commission. It never changes the order. How we make money The row marked Sponsored is a paid placement shown above the ranking, not part of it. Advertise here.

Cheapest eSIM for Puerto Rico: the numbers
As of 17 October 2026, 06:01 GMT, the cheapest eSIM for Puerto Rico is MobiMatter with 25 GB for 30 Days at $19.99. That is $0.80 per GB, the best rate of the 1027 plans we compare from 57 providers. 468 plans include 5G. 390 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 Puerto Rico?
There is no single best eSIM for Puerto Rico, because the right plan depends on how long you stay and how much data you use. What we can do is rank the 1027 plans on the numbers, as they stand on 17 October 2026:
- Best value overall MobiMatter, 25 GB for 30 Days at $19.99. That is $0.80 per GB, the lowest real rate of every Puerto Rico plan we track.
- Best for a short trip eSIMCard, 1 GB for 3 Days at $1.92. The cheapest ticket that still gives you at least 1 GB for a week or less.
- Highest daily cap on an unlimited plan Roamix, 365 Days at $26,904.10, full speed up to 10 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 MobiMatter did not pay to be named here.
Which mobile networks does Puerto Rico have?
The island has about 92% 4G population coverage. Liberty and T-Mobile users spend 93.3% to 93.6% of their time connected to 5G per Opensignal's June 2026 report, with Claro at 87.4%.
- Claro: Claro is the biggest operator on the island with around 2.5 million subscribers, holds Opensignal's Coverage Experience award at 9.2 out of 10, and is putting 500 million dollars into fiber and 5G upgrades.
- T-Mobile: T-Mobile holds roughly 12% of the market but won all four Opensignal speed awards in June 2026, with average downloads of 119.5 Mbps overall and 143.7 Mbps on 5G.
- Liberty: Liberty serves about 1 million mobile subscribers and ties T-Mobile for the best 5G availability on the island at around 93%.
Puerto Rico works like the US mainland, so US MVNOs and mainland plans generally function here without any special travel SIM.
The eSIM plans we compare on this page connect to:
The list above is Puerto Rico's operator market. The badges are the networks our tracked plans actually roam onto, which can be a subset of it, and the same network is sometimes sold to roaming partners under a different brand name. So a guide praising an operator you do not see badged here is describing a local SIM, not the travel eSIMs compared above.
Is 5G available in Puerto Rico?
5G is genuinely widespread. Around 95% of Puerto Rico has 5G coverage, with T-Mobile's 5G footprint the largest, and San Juan, Condado and the main tourist zones are well served.
How much data do you need in Puerto Rico?
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 Puerto Rico right now:
Are unlimited eSIMs for Puerto Rico really unlimited?
Not always. 400 of the 1027 plans above are sold as unlimited, and most of them carry a daily fair use cap. A further 5 plans are unlimited in a different way: one capped speed for the whole plan, shown next to the word Unlimited in the table. For Puerto Rico the caps we can see published are 0.5 to 10 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 $0.80 per GB from MobiMatter, 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 Puerto Rico?
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 Puerto Rico starts at $1.13 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 Puerto Rico eSIM
Pick the plan, not the brandThe cheapest rate in Puerto Rico today is $0.80 per GB from MobiMatter, against a median of $3.80. 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 Puerto Rico 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 attach to Claro, LIBERTY, Liberty, T-Mobile. Expect 5G where the network reaches, 4G everywhere else.
Know what happens when it runs out390 of the 1027 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 MobiMatter at $5.99.
Good to know before you land in Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico falls under US telecom rules. Many US mainland plans, including T-Mobile and AT&T unlimited plans, treat the island as domestic usage with no roaming charges, so check your existing plan before buying anything.
SIM packages are sold at the airport, plus designated hotels and car rental agencies, alongside normal Claro, Liberty and T-Mobile stores. There is no registration bureaucracy to slow you down.
Pick T-Mobile or Liberty for speed in the metro areas, but Claro is the safer bet if you are driving into the mountainous interior, since it keeps winning the coverage award.
Puerto Rico Travel eSIM FAQ
Everything you need to know about using an eSIM in Puerto Rico
What is the cheapest eSIM for Puerto Rico?
Right now the cheapest option ranked by price per GB is MobiMatter with 25 GB for 30 Days at $19.99. That works out to $0.80 per GB. Prices change often, so the table above is re-sorted at every price check.
Which is the best eSIM for Puerto Rico?
It depends on the trip, so we rank rather than pick a favourite. On today's prices the best value for Puerto Rico is MobiMatter at $0.80 per GB, the lowest real rate of the 1027 plans we compare. For heavy daily use there are 400 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 Puerto Rico?
Yes. We track 1027 prepaid travel eSIM plans from 57 providers that work in Puerto Rico, roaming onto Claro, LIBERTY, Liberty, T-Mobile. 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.
Which networks will my eSIM connect to in Puerto Rico?
The plans we compare connect to Claro, LIBERTY, Liberty, T-Mobile. The exact network depends on the plan you pick. Check the plan details before you buy if one network matters to you.
Do Puerto Rico eSIMs support 5G?
468 of the 1027 plans we track for Puerto Rico include 5G where the local network offers it. The rest run on 4G, which is still fine for maps, calls over apps, and video.
Can I buy a Puerto Rico 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 Puerto Rico. The validity clock on most plans only starts when the eSIM first connects.
Can I top up my Puerto Rico eSIM if I run out?
Yes. 390 of the 1027 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 Puerto Rico?
For a trip of days or weeks, usually yes. Data for Puerto Rico starts at $1.13 for 100 MB 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 Puerto Rico 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 Puerto Rico?
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 MobiMatter at $5.99.
Which Puerto Rico eSIM gives the most data per day?
Of the plans sold as unlimited here, Roamix allows the most at full speed, 10 GB a day from $87.00. The smallest allowance on this page is 500 MB a day, from 7 sellers. 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.
