The data situation in Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico's mobile data averages $2.58 per gigabyte for locals, ranking it 179th of 237 countries and territories in the Worldwide Mobile Data Pricing study — pricier than many of its Caribbean neighbors despite running on the same major US carrier networks (AT&T, T-Mobile, Claro, Liberty). The territorial government also runs a free public Wi-Fi Spots program covering public squares, parks, community centers, and transit stops in all 78 municipalities, on top of the free Wi-Fi that's standard at San Juan's airport, most hotels, and popular Old San Juan and Condado cafés. Paid public Wi-Fi is essentially nonexistent as a standalone offering, so travelers heading outside these free zones — the rainforest at El Yunque, the bioluminescent bays, or the smaller outer islands — still need a dependable cellular data connection to stay online.
Local price/GB
$2.58/GB average for locals (rank 179 of 237 countries/territories, bestbroadbanddeals.co.uk Worldwide Mobile Data Pricing study)
Free Wi-Fi
Widely available — a territory-run free Wi-Fi Spots program covers public squares, parks, and transit stops across all 78 municipalities, and free Wi-Fi is standard at San Juan's airport, hotels, and popular cafés like Caficultura and Cafe Cuatro Sombras in Old San Juan and Condado.
Paid Wi-Fi
Uncommon as a standalone product — there's no notable network of paid public Wi-Fi kiosks; visitors who need guaranteed connectivity outside free zones typically rely on cellular data or a rented mobile hotspot instead.

Why Choose Jetogo eSIM?
See why Jetogo offers a smarter way to stay connected while traveling.
Buying a local SIM in Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico is a US territory, so buying a tourist SIM works much like buying one anywhere on the US mainland: there's no government SIM-registration law or mandatory biometric check, though airport carrier counters commonly ask for a passport as their own store policy before activating service. Claro and Liberty both operate counters in the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) arrivals area, with Claro's metered plans running $15 for 3GB up to $29 for 29GB over 30 days, while Liberty's tourist-oriented unlimited-data bundles cost considerably more, $65 to $85. Most airport SIM counters close by around 9pm, so late arrivals should plan on an eSIM or a 24-hour convenience store instead. Overall, Puerto Rico remains one of the least bureaucratic places in the Caribbean to get connected as a visitor.
KYC requirements
No government-mandated SIM registration or biometric capture applies — Puerto Rico is a US territory, and there is no federal or state law requiring ID to buy a prepaid SIM. In practice, airport carrier counters (Claro, Liberty) commonly ask buyers for a passport as their own store policy before activating a plan, but nothing is filed with a government registry.
Wait time
Fast — staffed Claro and Liberty counters in the SJU arrivals area activate a SIM on the spot with no appointment needed, though most counters close by around 9pm, limiting options for late-night arrivals.

Wi-Fi calling
Wi-Fi calling lets you keep receiving calls and texts on your home phone number over an internet connection — including the data connection from your Jetogo eSIM — without needing a local SIM or number. Turn it on in your phone's settings before you travel (Settings > Phone > Wi-Fi Calling on iPhone, or Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi Calling on Android), and your carrier will route calls to your regular number through data instead of a local cell signal, so friends and family can reach you exactly as they always have.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a passport or ID to use my Jetogo eSIM in Puerto Rico?+
No. Puerto Rico is a US territory with no government SIM-registration law, and since your Jetogo eSIM is installed before you fly, you skip the passport check that airport carrier counters often require for local prepaid SIMs.
Will I be charged US roaming fees since Puerto Rico is a US territory?+
No. Major US carriers (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile) already treat Puerto Rico as part of their domestic coverage area with no roaming charges for their own subscribers, and your Jetogo eSIM is a dedicated local data plan, so there's no roaming surcharge to worry about either way.
Which network does my Jetogo eSIM connect to in Puerto Rico?+
eSIMs for Puerto Rico typically ride on one of the island's major US-standard networks — AT&T, T-Mobile, Claro, or Liberty — all of which provide LTE/5G coverage across San Juan and the main tourist areas.
How does an eSIM actually work?+
An eSIM is a digital SIM built into your phone — instead of inserting a physical card, you install a small profile (usually by scanning a QR code) and your phone connects to a local or partner network for data. There's nothing to pick up at a store or swap in your device; the whole process happens over Wi-Fi in a couple of minutes.
Is my phone compatible with eSIM?+
Most phones from the last 4-5 years support eSIM, including iPhone XS and later, most Google Pixel models from the Pixel 3 onward, and many recent Samsung Galaxy, and other Android flagships. Check Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Network) for an "Add eSIM" or "Add Cellular Plan" option — if it's there, you're set. Your phone also needs to be carrier-unlocked.
When does my eSIM activate — do I need to already be in the country?+
You can install your Jetogo eSIM before you fly, but the data plan itself only starts counting once it connects to a network in your destination country — so there's no risk of burning through your allowance early. For most plans, connectivity kicks in automatically the moment you land and your phone finds a signal.
Can I use my eSIM as a personal hotspot?+
Yes — hotspot and tethering are included on Jetogo eSIM plans at no extra cost, so you can share your connection with a laptop, tablet, or a travel companion's phone.
What happens when I run out of data? Can I top up?+
You can top up directly from your Jetogo account in a couple of taps, without needing to buy a whole new plan or visit a store. Many travelers also use Jetogo's PayGo option, which lets you pay only for the data you actually use instead of committing to a fixed bundle.
Do I need a local phone number to use my eSIM?+
No — Jetogo eSIMs are data-only, so there's no local phone number involved. If you need to make calls or send texts, you can use an internet calling app (like WhatsApp or FaceTime) over your eSIM data, or rely on Wi-Fi calling to keep using your existing home number (see below).
What is PayGo and why does it start at $5?+
PayGo is Jetogo's pay-as-you-go option: you load a small starting balance — as low as $5 — and only pay for the data you actually use, with no expiration pressure or unused-data waste. It's a low-commitment way to try Jetogo or to cover shorter trips where a full data bundle would be overkill.
Will adding a Jetogo eSIM affect my existing phone number or home plan?+
No. Your eSIM runs alongside your regular SIM (physical or eSIM) as a second, independent profile — your home number, texts, and voicemail keep working exactly as before. You simply choose which profile handles data while you're on Jetogo, and switch back anytime after your trip.
