About eSIMs in South America
One eSIM can cover a multi-country trip across South America and nearby destinations, so you can use one data plan as your itinerary changes. Plans are available for 7, 15 or 30 days, with data allowances suited to shorter breaks and longer journeys.
Coverage & networks
The regional plan covers Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Martinique, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico and Uruguay. Available network connections include 4G, 5G and, in Guatemala, 3G. Listed carriers include Movistar, Claro, Antel, Tigo and Digicel, depending on the country you are visiting.
How much data you need
Choose from 1GB, 3GB, 5GB or 10GB of data. A smaller allowance may suit light messaging, maps and occasional browsing, while 5GB or 10GB gives you more room for regular navigation, social media and travel searches. Unlimited data is not available. If you need more data during your trip, you can top up the plan.
Setting it up
Select a plan that matches your trip length and data needs, then activate the eSIM for use across the covered countries on your itinerary. This is a data-only eSIM, so calls and texts are not included; use data-based messaging and calling services instead.
