Why RoamZivo for Nicaragua
Skip the rental counter
No pocket Wi-Fi or SIM counter to find when you land in Nicaragua, and nothing to return before you fly home. The eSIM is installed before you leave.
Share with your laptop
Hotspot is allowed on the plan selected above, so a second device can use the same data in a cafe or a hotel room.

Nicaragua travel data guide
A Nicaragua eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Nicaragua that you install before you fly. Plans in Nicaragua run on Claro, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 12 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 10 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $3.99. Unlimited plans are listed too, each with its own fair use line. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Visiting more than one country? The Latin America eSIM covers Nicaragua and 19 other countries on one plan, from $12.99. The Global eSIM covers Nicaragua and 126 other countries on one plan, from $18.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Nicaragua, not when you buy, so you can install it at home days early. For a week of maps, messaging and social apps, most travellers are fine with 3 to 5 GB. Video calls or streaming need more, or an unlimited plan. Travel data in Nicaragua from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Nicaragua FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Nicaragua?
It connects wherever Claro has signal, which is the same network local customers use. The eSIM is data only.
When do my days start?
On the first connection in Nicaragua, not at purchase. The plan selected above (3 GB) runs for 1 day from that moment. You can install the eSIM at home and the clock stays still until you connect.
Do I get a local phone number in Nicaragua?
No. The eSIM is data only. Your own SIM stays in for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working over the eSIM data.
Can I share data with my laptop?
Yes. Hotspot sharing is supported on the plan selected above, so your laptop or tablet can use the eSIM data through your phone.
Which network does the Nicaragua eSIM use?
The Nicaragua eSIM uses Claro, listed as 4G in our catalogue. It is the only operator on these plans. If Claro has no signal where you are, the eSIM has no second network to try.
Is 5 GB enough for a month in Nicaragua?
5 GB is enough for a month in Nicaragua if you have WiFi where you sleep and use mobile data for maps, messages and bookings during the day. If you watch video on buses or upload a lot, choose 10 GB or the 30 days unlimited plan.
Does the Nicaragua eSIM work in Costa Rica?
No, the Nicaragua plan works in Nicaragua only. For a trip that includes Costa Rica, the Latin America plan covers both countries on one eSIM. You could also buy a separate plan for each country and install both in advance.
I do not know my arrival date yet. Can I still buy?
Yes, you can buy now and install whenever you have WiFi. The plan does not start on a calendar date. It starts when the eSIM first connects to a network in Nicaragua, whenever that turns out to be.
Where do I find my QR code?
The QR code is sent to the email address you used at checkout, right after payment. A copy is also kept in your customer account. If you cannot find the email, check the spam folder, then log in to your account.
What can I do on the slower speed after 3 GB?
At up to 1 Mbps you can send messages, read email, load simple web pages and follow a map. Video calls and streaming will be poor. Full speed returns the next day, so a heavy day in Nicaragua does not affect the following one.
Can I top up my Nicaragua plan?
Some Nicaragua plans support top up and some do not. If you think 1 GB or 3 GB may not be enough, check for top up in the plan details before buying. Without it you can simply buy another plan when you run out.
How do I top up if I run low?
Open My eSIMs, pick this eSIM and choose a top up. It goes onto the same eSIM, so there is no new QR code to scan.
