From the Panama Canal to the San Blas islands, stay connected across Panama.
Mobile internet in Panama
An eSIM is the easiest way to stay online while travelling in Panama. You can choose from 23 data bundles from €8.99, with sizes ranging from 1 GB to 100 GB. Need a lot of data? Unlimited bundles are available too.
In Panama your eSIM connects to local networks such as Telefonica Moviles-- Movistar, with 4G and 5G speeds where available.
How much data you need depends mostly on what you do while travelling. For navigation, WhatsApp and the occasional scroll through social media, 1 to 3 GB is usually plenty for a short trip. The smallest bundle for Panama starts at 1 GB, so you never pay for more than you need. If you stream a lot of video or share photos every day, pick a larger bundle or an unlimited option.
That way you avoid high roaming charges and skip hunting for a local SIM on arrival. You keep your own number for WhatsApp and texts, and use the eSIM purely for data. Installation takes a few minutes using the QR code you receive by email.
