Panama's Unlimited Internet Providers for your mobile
We tried different internet providers in Panama. The four major internet providers are +Movil, Claro, Movistar (Tigo), and Digicel. Our recommendation is based on ease of use, connection, and the price for unlimited internet during your stay.
Note that if you are permanently living in Panama it might be more interesting to purchase a monthly plan. Learn more about the different monthly plans in this blog article.

You can easily top-up your prepaid SIM card at Super99, El Rey, and other big supermarkets. In addition, many payment points offer this service. Simply provide your phone number and cash bills to the machine, and your credit will be added directly.
Alternatives without the need of buying a Simcard
In case you don't want to purchase a physical SIM card you can install an app named Airalo. With Airalo you can purchase an eSIM with the internet while keeping your original SIM in the phone. Airalo can be used in 190+ countries.
