How do I install my Puerto Rico eSIM on iPhone?

On Wi‑Fi before you travel: Settings → Cellular (or Mobile Data) → Add eSIM, then scan the QR from your Plota email or dashboard. Label the line (e.g. “Puerto Rico”), keep it ready, and when you arrive in Puerto Rico turn the line on and enable Data Roaming for it.

How do I install my Puerto Rico eSIM on Android?

How do I turn on Data Roaming for my Puerto Rico eSIM?

What APN and networks does the Puerto Rico eSIM use?

We email the APN and supported networks for your Puerto Rico plan after purchase, and the same details appear on that eSIM in your Plota dashboard. Set mobile data to Plota, turn Data Roaming on for that line, and enter the APN only if your phone requests it or data does not start automatically.

When should I install my Puerto Rico eSIM?

Install on Wi‑Fi before departure. The plan typically starts when you first connect to a local network in Puerto Rico, not when you scan the QR. On arrival: enable the Plota line, set it for mobile data, and turn Data Roaming on.
