South America eSIM questions
How much does the South America eSIM cost?

Which countries does the South America eSIM cover?
6 countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Peru and Uruguay. See the full list.
Does it switch networks when I cross a border?
Yes. Your phone joins a local network in each country by itself, usually within a few minutes of crossing. One plan covers all 6 countries, so your data and days carry on. If it doesn't connect, turn Airplane mode on and off.
Does it work at Machu Picchu?
In Aguas Calientes, yes. Up at the ruins signal is weak or missing, so download your entry tickets first.
Does it work in Patagonia?
In El Calafate, Puerto Natales and Ushuaia, yes. In Torres del Paine and on the trails there's little or none.
Does it work in the Galapagos?
In Puerto Ayora and the other towns, yes. On boat cruises between the islands, no.
Does it work in Bolivia or Colombia?
No. The Global eSIM covers Bolivia, Colombia and all 6 of these countries.
When does my South America plan start?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in South America. Install it on Wi-Fi a day or two before you fly: the days don't start counting until you land.
Can I use the South America eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. Every South America plan can share its data with a laptop, a tablet or a travel partner's phone. Anything you share comes off the same plan.
Does the South America eSIM include calls and texts?
No, it's data only, with no local number. Call and text over WhatsApp, iMessage or FaceTime. Your Australian number stays on your phone, so texts like bank codes still arrive.
