Yes! This is the most important question. Our eSIM connects to local networks (like Claro) that provide 4G/LTE coverage in the main towns on the inhabited islands: Puerto Ayora (Santa Cruz) and Puerto Baquerizo Moreno (San Cristobal). Note: Coverage is only in these towns. Once your cruise ship leaves port or you travel to remote islands (like Isabela or Floreana), you must expect to lose signal. This eSIM is far cheaper than your cruise ship's expensive satellite Wi-Fi.
