Best eSim For Belize: Local & Online Sims Compared

The absolute best eSim in Belize is surprisingly Airalo which you can purchase online. Local providers like Digi & Smart also offer tourist eSims that are about double the cost.

If you plan on making calls or sending texts, purchasing from the local eSim providers like Digi & Smart would be a better choice. Most venders communicate via Whatsapp in Belize, so that would suffice in my opinion.

As a local, I honestly recommend Airalo, it's super convenient to purchase before you arrive in Belize.

Here's a quick look at the three eSim Providers to consider.

• Airalo - $9.00 USD, 1GB Data, 7 Days
• Digi Belize - $20 USD, 25GB Data, 10 Days for Service, 21 Days for Sim
• Smart Belize - $45 USD, Unlimited Data, 10 Days

Digi Belize Tourism Sim

Here's a bit more information about the Tourism Sim offered by Digi Belize. I got in contact with customer support and this is what they shared with me since it wasn't readily available on their website.

Digi Tourism Sim with 25GB LTE Data, International Allowances (50 Mins + 50 Text) and Local Allowances (500 Mins + 500 Text). The service expires in 10 days or can be consumed before. The sim card expires in 21 days. You can purchase TopUp and standard Data plans within the 21-day SIM lifetime, but this will not impact the expiration of the services or the SIM. The cost for the Tourist Sim is $20 USD ($40 BZD) including tax — Esim or physical sim.

Which Belize eSim has the best coverage?

As locals, we can vouch for Digi Belize which is the biggest and most popular provider in the country. They have better coverage than the competitor, Smart Belize. In some cases, the competitor has better coverage in small remote villages, but it's not a game changer for tourists.
