eSIM Honduras
Honduras from 3,95€ runs on the Claro network: 1 to 10 GB of prepaid data, no contract. Set the eSIM up at home and you are online the minute you land in Tegucigalpa or San Pedro Sula.
Your Selection
Your plan only starts counting when the eSIM first connects at your destination — so you can buy today and travel in three weeks.
How does Simbye eSIM work for Honduras?
Get connected in under 2 minutes
Set it up at home
Buy the plan, get the QR code by email and install the eSIM over Wi-Fi — ideally a day or two before departure. Nothing starts counting yet.
Switch it on after landing
Airplane mode off, data roaming on for the Simbye line. That goes for Palmerola near Comayagua, the international airport serving Tegucigalpa, just as much as for San Pedro Sula, Roatán and La Ceiba.
Stay online and top up
Your plan starts with the first connection inside Honduras. Running low? Top up online: the eSIM stays in your phone and you never need a second QR code.
Check Device Compatibility
Make sure your device supports eSIM before purchasing
Which networks will you be on in Honduras?
After you land, your phone finds the Claro network on its own — there are no settings to type in.
Claro

The eSIM rides on Claro. Once you land, switch airplane mode off and data roaming on for the Simbye line — the phone does the rest: it finds Claro, registers and you are online. If nothing shows up after a few minutes, pick Claro manually in your mobile network settings and restart the phone. You travel on 4G — Honduras has no nationwide 5G yet, not for an eSIM and not for a card bought in a shop.
Coverage is solid in Tegucigalpa, Comayagua, San Pedro Sula, El Progreso, Choluteca, La Ceiba, Tela, Trujillo and Santa Rosa de Copán, and along the main road between the capital and San Pedro Sula. On Roatán it covers the inhabited corners — West End, West Bay, Coxen Hole, French Harbour — and on Utila the town around the dive schools. Copán Ruinas itself has signal; the mountain roads leading there do not, all the way. It thins out in Pico Bonito National Park and around Lago de Yojoa, and in La Mosquitia in the east there is next to nothing beyond Puerto Lempira. On the ferry to the islands and on any dive boat you are offline anyway.
eSIM or a local SIM card in Honduras?
Honduras makes the case for the eSIM: since 2025 a local card means showing ID and registering biometrically, plus cash in lempiras at a shop that is open. Yours is set up before departure — the trade-off is no Honduran number.
Why your plan from home turns into a lottery here
Roaming in Honduras is billed by your own operator at home, and how it does that sits in a price list almost nobody opens before departure. Sometimes it is a day pass, sometimes a price per megabyte, sometimes the country falls into a zone with no bundle at all. What they share: you only see the total on the bill after the trip — and until then you use your phone with the handbrake on.
A prepaid eSIM flips that around. You pay a fixed amount up front for a fixed amount of data, and when it is used up the connection stops instead of ticking on. No contract, no notice period, no surprise charge afterwards. A week of diving on Utila runs on a small bundle; four weeks working from a laptop in Tegucigalpa calls for the biggest one. You decide that before the flight, not after it.
How far Claro reaches — and where it stops
The cities are the easy part: Tegucigalpa, Comayagua, San Pedro Sula, El Progreso, Choluteca, La Ceiba, Tela, Trujillo and Santa Rosa de Copán have solid 4G, as does the main road between the capital and San Pedro Sula. On Roatán the network covers the inhabited corners, on Utila the town with the dive schools. For maps, a translator, a ferry ticket and a video call home that is plenty.
In between it gets harder. On the mountain roads to Copán Ruinas, in Pico Bonito National Park, around Lago de Yojoa and above all in La Mosquitia the signal drops out; only an offline map downloaded in advance helps there. On the ferry between La Ceiba and the islands, and on any dive boat, you are offline too. Travel the country by bus and you will have good reception in the towns and little in between — so plan bookings and messages around the stops.
How much data do you need in Honduras?
So you can work it out instead of guessing: how much an hour costs in the apps you actually use on holiday.
Just staying reachable
1–3 GB
Messages, the map now and then, checking mail. Everything else runs on the hotel Wi-Fi.
An ordinary holiday
5–10 GB
Navigating, social media, uploading photos, a few videos in the evening.
Out a lot, or a laptop along
20 GB and up
Streaming in the evening, video calls home, keeping a laptop or tablet online through your phone.
Data used per hour
The Netflix and Spotify figures come from the providers themselves (Netflix Help Center, Spotify Support, retrieved 28 Aug 2026). The rest are network-operator estimates (o2, Vodafone, EE) and vary with picture quality and reception.
