Panama's networks
Two networks share the country since +Móvil took over Claro Panamá in 2022, and the capital and the canal have the densest coverage. The North America eSIM roams on a Panamanian partner network, and your phone shows its name.
Where you will travel
Panama City and the canal run on solid coverage; the islands and the highlands come and go, so have your maps before the boat or the bus.
- Panama City and the canal
- Dense coverage in the capital and along the canal route; thick walls in the old town can cut signal indoors.
- San Blas (Guna Yala) and Bocas del Toro
- The islands run on small local networks with patchy coverage outside town: download everything before the boat.
- Boquete and the highlands
- Mountain roads can fall out of coverage between towns: save your route before the climb.

Questions about eSIM in Panama
What is the best eSIM for Panama?
The North America eSIM on this page: one prepaid plan for Panama, the United States, Canada, Mexico and Costa Rica, with the QR code seconds after payment.
Does it work in Costa Rica too?
Yes. The same eSIM covers Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico, the United States and Canada, so there is no second plan for the rest of the trip.
Do I need to register a SIM in Panama?
A SIM bought in Panama is signed up to its user at the counter, passport in hand. The eSIM on this page is bought online and needs none of that.
Do I need to turn on data roaming?
Yes, for the eSIM line only: it roams on a partner network in each country. Keep data roaming off on your usual SIM, so your home carrier cannot charge you for roaming.
Can I keep my WhatsApp number?
Yes. Your usual SIM stays in your phone with your number for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps the same number while the eSIM carries your data.
What if the eSIM does not work?
You get a full refund if it does not work and we cannot fix it, or if it is not delivered. Write to contact@esimamericas.com with your order link.
