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?
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?

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.
| Feature |  Simbye eSIM |
Local SIM card |
|---|---|---|
| Ready to go | Set up before departure, online the moment you land | Only after arrival, and only while a shop is open |
| ID | No registration, nobody asks for your passport | Show ID and, since 2025, register biometrically; the card is in your name |
| Paying | Online with your own card, in your own currency | Cash in lempiras; not every kiosk takes cards |
| Phone number | None — data only | A Honduran number with calls and SMS |
| Home number | Stays active alongside, so family and your bank still reach you | On a single-SIM phone you have to take your own SIM out |
| Language | Purchase and instructions in your language | Advice and top-up menus mostly in Spanish |
| Topping up | Online any time, the same eSIM stays in the phone | Buy credit at a kiosk or in a pulpería |
| If something goes wrong | Support by email, a fresh QR code if needed | Back to the shop where you bought it |
For most travelers the eSIM is the simpler choice: set up before departure, no queuing on arrival.

Frequently Asked Questions about Honduras eSIM
Data, calls, real phone numbers, top-ups and setup — everything you need to know before you buy a Simbye eSIM.
The network you're on in Honduras is Claro. Your phone registers automatically once you land, in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula just as on Roatán. You browse on 4G — the country has no nationwide 5G yet.
No, not once you arrive in Honduras. You scan the QR code from the email at home on Wi-Fi, and after landing you only switch data roaming on for the Simbye line. No shop visit, no ID, nothing to type in by hand.
No, no calls or SMS with it. This is a data-only plan without a Honduran number: no calls, no text messages over the network. Calls inside WhatsApp or FaceTime run over data and work normally. Keep your home SIM active for SMS codes and set mobile data to the Simbye line.
You'll have signal on Roatán and Utila, mainly in West End, West Bay, Coxen Hole, French Harbour and around Utila's dive schools. On the ferry, on a dive boat and at empty beaches it drops out, and on Guanaja expect gaps.
For this eSIM, you don't register anywhere in Honduras. Buy a local prepaid card in a Claro or Tigo shop and you do have to show ID and, since 2025, go through biometric registration: a photo, fingerprints and your ID number are recorded, and the card is registered in the buyer's name.
You can buy an eSIM for Honduras right here on this page in a couple of minutes. Pick the plan you need from the table above, pay, and the QR code arrives by email straight away. Scan it with your camera and the Honduras profile is stored on your phone. Nothing gets shipped, so you can do it the night before you fly.
An eSIM for Honduras is a data plan on local partner networks. Your phone connects through local partner networks just like a Honduran SIM would, covering Tegucigalpa, San Pedro Sula and the main tourist routes. Any unlocked phone with eSIM support can run it, and you set the profile up before you leave home.
An eSIM for Honduras starts at 3,95€, though the exact price depends on the data volume and number of days you pick, shown in the price table above on this page for every Honduras plan. A short trip needs far less than a month of remote work, so smaller bundles cost less. It is prepaid: you pay once and nothing renews.
How much data you need for Honduras is about 1-3 GB a week; maps, messengers and bookings use roughly 30-60 MB a day. Diving days on Roatan and photos from Copan push uploads to 150 to 300 MB. Long bus rides between Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula use more, because the phone keeps hunting for signal. Streaming or hotspotting calls for the larger packs listed on this page.
There's no single eSIM that's best for Honduras — it depends on your route. Honduras runs on Claro here, on 4G, and there is no nationwide 5G for any eSIM or shop-bought card. So compare data volume, days and whether you need a local number. This one is prepaid data only with hotspot allowed, 1 to 10 GB. Mountain roads to Copan and Pico Bonito stay thin regardless.
