Answers to common setup and buying questions.
Compare data, validity, activation and networks before buying. Save essential maps and bookings offline.
Check each plan: validity starts at purchase, first installation or first network connection.
Networks vary by plan. Reception and speeds depend on location, network conditions and your device.
Check hotspot support on each plan. Connected devices share the allowance.
Fixed total data. No daily reset.
Nicaragua only.
An eSIM-compatible, network-unlocked phone is required.
Check coverage, remaining data and validity. Follow the supplied roaming and APN instructions. Keep the eSIM installed when contacting support.
A Managua landing, a few nights in Granada and the ferry to Ometepe each use data differently. A virtual sim card on an unlocked, eSIM-compatible phone keeps your bookings and messages reachable, if you're touring alone or visiting family, without hunting for a local SIM.

Augusto C. Sandino International Airport is where many visitors land. The airport operator EAAI posts arriving and departing flights and lists services such as car rental, so check your flight details before confirming a pickup.
If you're heading straight to Granada, tell the driver which hotel entrance you want before leaving the terminal. A saved reservation and an address pin beat reopening several booking emails mid-ride.
Save before you goFlight number, pickup arrangement, hotel address and booking reference.
Parque Central and the cathedral are easy landmarks for getting your bearings in Granada. Pin your accommodation before walking the historic centre, and agree on an exact spot in case your group splits up near the square.
For a boat trip to the islets on Lake Cocibolca, confirm the real departure point with your operator. The city-centre meeting spot can differ from where the boat leaves, so save both pins and the return plan.
The national tourism guide also lists Mombacho as a nearby outing. Before a trail day, pull up your booking and confirm the meeting time while you still have a connection in town.
Save before you goThe hotel pin, boat meeting details and agreed return time.
The official tourism guide describes the ferry from San Jorge to Ometepe. Confirm the current sailing, arrival port and any vehicle arrangement with the operator instead of relying on an old timetable screenshot.
Send your host the sailing you plan to take, then save onward directions before boarding. The island has two volcanic areas, Concepción and Maderas, so a single island-wide pin isn't enough for a pickup.
For a guided walk, keep the guide contact and meeting point saved offline. More data won't fix a weak signal on the trail, and a live map on your phone shouldn't be your only way back.
