Travel across Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, and Uruguay with a single eSIM. No SIM swapping at borders, no roaming charges, no hunting for local SIM shops. Your South America eSIM activates the moment you land and works seamlessly as you cross between these six countries.
Tip: Most travellers pick 3-10GB plans for 7-30 day trips. Smaller plans are great for short stays or as a backup.
Stay connected across South America eSIM with instant eSIM data plans. 10 plans available from £2.64, with 4G/LTE coverage in major cities and tourist destinations. One-tap install directly from your email — no physical SIM card, no roaming fees, no visiting local shops.
Travelling to multiple countries? Check out our Latin America eSIM or Caribbean eSIM for multi-country coverage.
This plan covers the six most-visited South American countries for the best value on the classic Andes and southern-cone route: one eSIM for Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Peru and Uruguay, with no SIM swapping at borders and no roaming charges.
It is built for the trip most people actually take: Buenos Aires to Iguazu to Rio, or Quito down through Lima and Cusco to Santiago. One profile, installed once, stays connected the whole way.
Which countries and networks does it cover? Argentina (Movistar and Claro), Brazil (TIM), Chile (WOM), Ecuador (Movistar), Peru (Movistar) and Uruguay (Movistar), on 3G, 4G and 5G where available.
Coverage is strong in the capitals and along the main tourist corridors: Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Santiago, Lima, Cusco, Quito and Montevideo. Expect gaps on the Salkantay and Torres del Paine trails, in the Amazon away from river towns, and on long Patagonian road stretches.
South America plans start from £2.64 for a daily allowance and £2.93 for 1GB over 7 days, up to 50GB across 180 days for long trips.
Only visiting one country? A single-country plan is usually cheaper per GB. The regional plan wins as soon as you cross a second border.
The South America eSIM is the best value for the classic six-country route. Heading further afield, to Colombia, Bolivia, Central America or the Caribbean? Choose our Latin America eSIM (17 countries) instead.
Nothing you have to do. The eSIM reconnects to a partner network in the next country automatically, usually within a few minutes of switching your phone off flight mode. There is no second QR code and no settings change.
Most of the fixed-data plans can be topped up. Open my-eSIMs, select your eSIM, and a Top Up option appears if that plan supports it. Daily-allowance plans and the longest-validity bundles are fixed size, so for those, pick an allowance that covers the whole trip.
Validity starts when the eSIM first connects to a network in a covered country, not when you buy it. You can install weeks ahead while you are at home on WiFi without losing a day.
Choose your plan and check out in seconds. Your eSIM QR code arrives by email within minutes. Scan it on your eSIM-compatible device before you fly, and your plan activates when you first connect in any covered country.
iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, and most modern eSIM-enabled devices.
