eSIM for North & Central America — 5 Countries, One eSIM

It is the flattest region in the catalog, and the only one of the nine where every member prices below the catalog-wide median of $3.69/GB.

The flattest table in the catalog
The gap between the cheapest and the most expensive country here is ×1.6. In every other region on this site, the largest single step between two neighbouring rows is bigger than that — the whole of this region is flatter than one jump anywhere else. The most expensive of the five is the United States at $2.25/GB, and the median, $1.84/GB, is Mexico.
Five countries, four distinct rates. No destination in this region carries the premium flag and no single row produces the range — which means a cross-border route here needs no rate planning at all, only enough balance.
One $20 top-up, all five countries
The minimum top-up is $20, billed per megabyte from one balance. Because the rates are this close, that single top-up sizes the whole trip rather than one country:
- Costa Rica — $1.43/GB, about 13.9 GB per $20 top-up
- El Salvador — $1.43/GB, about 13.9 GB per $20 top-up
- Mexico — $1.84/GB, about 10.8 GB per $20 top-up
- Canada — $2.15/GB, about 9.3 GB per $20 top-up
- The United States — $2.25/GB, about 8.8 GB per $20 top-up
The balance is one pool and does not expire, so crossing a border just spends the remainder at the new country's rate with nothing to re-buy. End to end, the cheapest and the dearest row above differ by about 5.0 GB on the same $20 top-up.
Central America is the cheap end, not the expensive one
Costa Rica and El Salvador share the region floor at $1.43/GB — below Canada and the United States, which price at $2.15 and $2.25/GB. Mexico sits between them.
That ordering is worth knowing because it is the opposite of how roaming is usually priced: on this eSIM the leg most travellers expect to be the expensive one is the cheapest row in the region.
How this page relates to the country guides
Two countries in this region have a dedicated destination guide: Mexico and the United States — linked from the rate table above and listed beneath it.
A guide is written for one destination and goes into installation, device support and what to do on arrival; it does not repeat this table. This page does the job a guide cannot — showing where a country's rate sits relative to the other 4 in the region. Read the table first, then the guide for the country you actually land in.

FAQ
Does one Roamzy eSIM really cover all 5 countries in North & Central America?
Yes — one eSIM profile, one balance. Crossing a border switches you to that country's per-MB rate automatically; there is nothing to re-buy or re-install.
How is data billed across North & Central America?
Per megabyte, from a prepaid USDT/USDC balance. Each country has its own rate (from $1.43/GB in Costa Rica in this region); you pay the local rate only for the megabytes you use there, and the balance never expires between trips.
Which country in North & Central America costs the most, and how much data does the minimum top-up buy there?
The United States, at $2.25/GB ($0.0022 per megabyte). The $20 minimum top-up is roughly 8.8 GB there, against roughly 13.9 GB at the region's floor rate of $1.43/GB. Same eSIM, same balance — only the per-megabyte rate changes.
Do I need a new eSIM for a multi-country trip?
No. That is the point: install once, top up once, and the same eSIM works across all 193 covered countries — this region and beyond. See the install guides to set up before you fly.
