The best eSIM for Puerto Rico in 2026. Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Puerto Rico, priced on the same day: two weeks unlimited for $14.99, a month for $26.99, which to buy.
Prices read on 28 September 2026. Six travel eSIMs sell data for Puerto Rico and get most of the traffic for this search. We priced all six on the same day, for a long weekend in San Juan, two weeks around the island and out to Culebra and Vieques, and a month, and read the fine print on unlimited.

Puerto Rico is priced high by most travel eSIMs. For 15 days of unlimited, Airalo asks $50 and Holafly $54.90; for a month, $99 and $106.50. Ubigi is cheaper at $39 and $65 for a fixed amount at full speed. Saily and Nomad sell no unlimited plan for the island at all. Ringo Light charges $14.99 for 2 weeks and $26.99 for 30 days, one payment each, nothing renews.
Read what unlimited means before you pick. Airalo gives 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps. Ubigi gives 30 GB for 15 days or 60 GB for the month, then 2 Mbps. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone and limits sharing to 1 GB a day. Ringo Light has no speed cap: the 2 weeks starts with 10 GB and the 30 days with 20 GB, and when you have used 80% we add 10 GB once and charge the $14.99 top-up. A heavy two weeks with us costs $29.98, still under Ubigi's $39 for 15 days; a heavy month costs $41.98, under every rival for the month.
For a short trip, Ringo Light sells no 3-day or 7-day plan. Airalo sells 3 days of unlimited at $18.50, and Ubigi a week with 25 GB at full speed for $25.
Puerto Rico is a US territory. If your phone plan is from AT&T, Verizon or T-Mobile in the US, it usually treats Puerto Rico as home: calls, texts and data at your normal rates, no roaming charge. Check your own plan, but most US travellers need no eSIM here. Everything on this page is for travellers whose plan is from outside the US.
The island has three networks: Claro, T-Mobile and Liberty, which took over AT&T's Puerto Rico network in 2020. All three cover San Juan, the coast roads, Culebra and Vieques. Signal thins in the central mountains and inside El Yunque, so download an offline map before you drive inland. Airalo's Boricua Mobile plan and Ubigi ride T-Mobile, Holafly rides Claro and Nomad rides Liberty.
Ubigi, $14 for 10 GB. The cheapest 10 GB here, sold as its USA plan, which covers Puerto Rico on T-Mobile with 5G. Ubigi's own USA page does not name Puerto Rico, so check the coverage list before you buy. Its 20 GB a month for $15 is cheaper still, but it renews every month until you cancel.
Saily, $24.99 for 10 GB. 20 GB at $36.99. Its listing is from June; saily.com would not load for us.
Airalo, $25 for 10 GB. Its Boricua Mobile plan, 20 GB for $35, buckets from $4 for 1 GB.
Nomad, $25 for 10 GB. 20 GB for $35 on Liberty, and 50 GB for $49.
Ringo Light, no buckets. Our 2 weeks starts with 10 GB for $14.99 and our 30 days with 20 GB for $26.99. For 10 GB over a month, Ubigi is cheaper in Puerto Rico. Our 30 days is cheaper than any one-off 20 GB here, but it is a trip of 30 days, not a bucket you keep. Buy Ringo Light for unlimited, not for a bucket. We would rather you read that here than at checkout.
Ringo Light is our own data eSIM, sold to fund the full Ringo, one plan that works everywhere with your own number ported onto it. For Puerto Rico it sells two trips, both unlimited data at full speed with no speed cap: 2 weeks at $14.99, starting with 10 GB, and 30 days at $26.99, starting with 20 GB. Each adds 10 GB once at 80%, charged at $14.99. One payment, nothing renews. The eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan, no app.
The card to buy it is just below this article.
Your phone plan is from the US. You probably need nothing: AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile usually treat Puerto Rico as home. Check your plan before you go.
A long weekend in San Juan. Airalo unlimited, 3 days, $18.50. Ringo Light sells no 3 days.
Two weeks around the island. Ringo Light unlimited, 2 weeks, $14.99, less than any rival charges for two weeks, and $29.98 even if you use it hard enough to need the top-up.
Light use, budget first. Ubigi 10 GB for 30 days at $14 on its USA plan.
A month, working from San Juan. Ringo Light unlimited, 30 days, $26.99, starting with 20 GB and adding 10 GB once for $14.99. Ubigi at $65 for 60 GB at full speed if you want T-Mobile by name.
You need your own number to keep ringing. None of these travel plans does that. The full Ringo, which Ringo Light funds, ports the number you have.
What to do in Puerto Rico, and what your phone needs for it. Eight places most first trips include, from Old San Juan to the west coast and the two islands off the east coast, with the one thing your data does for you at each. San Juan and the coast have good 4G and 5G; the mountains and the rainforest are patchier.
Old San Juan, San Juan. Five centuries of painted houses, balconies and blue cobblestones inside the old city walls. Walk it in the morning before the cruise ships unload. The streets are steep and parking is scarce. Walk with maps, and call a ride-hailing car for the trip back to your hotel.
Castillo San Felipe del Morro, San Juan. The Spanish fortress on the point of the old city, six levels of walls over the sea, with a wide lawn where families fly kites. Late afternoon light is the best. One entry fee covers El Morro and Castillo San Cristobal, a short walk apart. Map the walk between them rather than moving the car.
El Yunque National Forest, Rio Grande, east of San Juan. The only tropical rainforest in the US national forest system, with trails to waterfalls and lookout towers. Go early: afternoons often bring rain. Signal fades inside the forest. Download the offline map and check online before you drive whether the main road needs a timed entry ticket.
Culebra and Flamenco Beach, Culebra island. A small island off the east coast with Flamenco Beach, a long white curve of sand and clear water. Reached by ferry from Ceiba or a short flight. Ferry tickets sell out on weekends and holidays. Buy them online ahead and keep the booking on your phone.
Vieques, Vieques island. Quiet beaches, wild horses on the roads, and Mosquito Bay, a bioluminescent bay that glows blue on dark nights. Ferry from Ceiba or a short flight. The bay glows best around the new moon. Check the moon phase before you book a night tour.
Cueva Ventana, Arecibo. A limestone cave whose mouth opens like a window over the green valley of the Rio Grande de Arecibo. Visits are guided and take about an hour. Book the guided tour online before you set out; it is about an hour's drive west of San Juan.
Parque de Bombas, Ponce. The red and black striped old firehouse on Ponce's main plaza, now a small free museum, next to the cathedral. Ponce is the south coast's biggest city. The highways from San Juan are tolled electronically. Ask your rental company how its toll tag bills you.
Rincon, West coast. The island's surf town, with big swells in winter and sunsets over the sea. From the lighthouse park you can sometimes see humpback whales in winter. Check a surf forecast app before you paddle out: winter swells here are for experienced surfers.
We priced Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Puerto Rico on 28 September 2026, all on the same day, in US dollars. Each rival's price comes from its own website where it showed dollars, otherwise from an esimdb.com listing, and every source and its date is listed below. Ringo Light's prices come from the catalogue our checkout charges.
We compare the trips people actually book: a week, two weeks and a month of unlimited data, and a 10 GB bucket. We read each brand's fair use and speed rules and quote them as the brands state them. We did not run speed tests, so this page makes no speed claims for any brand.
Ringo Light is our own product. We put it in the table on the same terms as everyone else, and where a rival is the better buy the page says so.
Left out: Maya Mobile, we could not read its own prices for this country on the day, so it stays out rather than being guessed.

Usually not. Puerto Rico is a US territory, and AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile usually treat it as part of the US, so your calls, texts and data work at your home rates with no roaming charge. Check your own plan before you go. A travel eSIM is for visitors whose phone plan is from outside the US.
For two weeks or a month of unlimited data, Ringo Light: $14.99 for 2 weeks and $26.99 for 30 days on 28 September 2026, against $50 for 15 days and $99 for 30 days at Airalo. For 3 days, Airalo at $18.50. For a 10 GB bucket, Ubigi at $14 on its USA plan.
Airalo's Boricua Mobile plan and Ubigi ride T-Mobile, Holafly rides Claro and Nomad rides Liberty. Saily does not name its network on its listing. All three networks cover San Juan and the coast; signal is thinner in the central mountains and El Yunque.
Every brand has a limit somewhere. Airalo slows you after 3 GB a day, Ubigi after its fixed full-speed amount. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone. Saily and Nomad sell no unlimited plan for Puerto Rico. Ringo Light has no speed cap: it starts with 10 or 20 GB and adds 10 GB once at 80%, charged.
