Which network does the Ecuador eSIM use?

It connects to Claro’s 4G network in Ecuador.

Does the Ecuador eSIM include calls and texts?

No. It is a data-only eSIM, so calls and texts are not included.

Can I top up the Ecuador eSIM?

Yes, you can top up the eSIM if you need additional data.

How long can I use the Ecuador eSIM?

Available plan durations range from 1 day to 30 days, including 3, 5, 7, 14 and 15-day options.

Ecuador: is an eSIM better than a local SIM?

For most travellers, yes. A local SIM in Ecuador means finding a shop once you have landed, usually with ID in hand, and it leaves you on a single carrier. An eSimHero eSIM installs before you travel, works the moment you arrive, connects across the networks we carry there, and leaves your usual number active on the same phone.
