CENAM eSIM

Best CENAM eSIM for Multi-Country Travel in 2026

Our Central America travel eSIM, labelled CENAM, covers seven destinations: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua and Panama. Compare it with individual country plans when your itinerary includes more than one of these stops.

We provide mobile data, not a local phone number, standard voice calls or carrier SMS. Belize, the USA and Canada are not included in this product's listed destinations. Check every stop against the coverage list before buying, rather than treating the name as an all-Americas plan.

CENAM data plans

Choose Your CENAM eSIM Data Plan

Choose validity for the full period you intend to use the plan, not just the first country. Estimate the data needed across your covered stops and compare the regional price with the individual plans you would otherwise buy.

Important! 1GB of full high-speed data where available per 24 hours. Thereafter your data speed will be reduced and will reset on the next 24h period.

The Unlimited options provide 1 GB of high-speed data where available per 24-hour period, followed by reduced speeds until the next reset. Unlimited does not mean unlimited high-speed data. A fixed allowance may suit larger downloads on particular days better.

Review activation and validity conditions before deciding when to install. Check tethering permission if you plan to connect a laptop or another phone.

Compare country options

One Destination or Several Covered Stops?

For a trip confined to one country, compare its individual plan first. For a longer route, weigh the regional allowance and validity against buying separately. The cards below are alternative offers; the supported-country panel above defines this plan's scope.

Why choose NoveSIM

Organise Data Around the Whole Itinerary

Digital Purchase Details

We send your eSIM details and installation instructions by email after purchase. They are also available in your NoveSIM account.

Listed Multi-Country Coverage

Use the regional product for the destinations explicitly listed above, without collecting a separate physical card for each covered stop.

Your Existing Messaging

Use internet apps through mobile data and keep your WhatsApp number. The plan does not supply a local telephone number in each country.

Compare Before Travelling

Check the full route and your expected consumption in advance, rather than making a new data decision at every arrival.

Understand the boundaries

CENAM Is a Product List, Not a Geography Guarantee

Mexico Is Included

Mexico appears in this product's supported destinations. Judge the plan by its actual list, not by whether a country fits your interpretation of Central America.

Belize Is Not Listed

A route through Belize needs a separate connectivity check. Do not rely on the regional name as confirmation of service there.

No USA or Canada Coverage

This is not a general North America or all-Americas offer. Arrange a suitable option for those destinations if they form part of your journey.

Networks Differ by Country

Review the country and network panel above. Available technology and reception depend on the plan, your phone and local coverage, not a single region-wide speed promise.

02

Review the Purchase Instructions

Locate the QR code or supported activation link and read the plan-specific validity and setup conditions.

Where the Regional Plan May Fit

Several Supported Countries

Compare the regional plan when your route links listed destinations such as Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. Check your full route before purchase, including any transit stop where you need data.

Mexico Plus Another Stop

Mexico is included in this product alongside the six other listed countries. Compare the regional allowance with separate plans for your actual combination of destinations.

A Route with a Coverage Gap

If Belize, the USA, Canada or another unlisted destination is part of the trip, plan data there separately. A nearby country does not extend the supported list.

Does Central America coverage include the USA or Canada?
No. This is not an all-Americas plan. Neither the USA nor Canada appears in the supported list for this product.
Does it provide a local phone number in each country?
We provide mobile data, not a local phone number, standard voice calls or carrier SMS. Internet messaging and calling apps can use the connection.
What does Unlimited include?
The Unlimited options provide 1 GB of high-speed data where available per 24-hour period, then reduced speeds until the next reset. High-speed data itself is not unlimited.
Will the same network and speed be available everywhere?
