Does an eSIM work in Uruguay?
Yes. This eSIM runs on Claro and Movistar. Coverage is strong in Montevideo and along the Rio de la Plata and Atlantic coast, and reliable across the rolling plains of the small, flat interior, and it covers Montevideo, Salto, Ciudad de la Costa, Paysandu and Las Piedras. It can thin out only in very remote areas.
How much data do I need in Uruguay?
Most travelers use around 1GB a day in Uruguay across maps and messaging. A week is comfortable on 5GB to 7GB. Longer trips or lots of streaming lean to 10GB or unlimited daily. The country is small and low lying, so data holds up well from the capital out to the Atlantic beach towns like Punta del Este.
Is the Uruguay eSIM unlimited?
Our daily plans give you unlimited data at full speed each day. If you prefer a fixed amount, choose a prepaid plan from the 1GB to 20GB, or unlimited daily range above.
Will the Uruguay eSIM work on my phone?
Yes, on any eSIM-compatible unlocked device, including iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, and recent Samsung Galaxy models. It installs alongside your normal SIM, so nothing is removed.
When should I install my Uruguay eSIM?
Install it before you fly, ideally the night before. Activation uses no data, so you are online the moment you land in Uruguay.
Can I keep my number and use WhatsApp?
Yes. The Uruguay eSIM adds data only, so your regular SIM keeps your number for calls and texts. Apps like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger work over the eSIM.
What happens when I use up the daily full-speed data?
On unlimited daily plans you are never cut off. After each day's full-speed allowance, data continues unlimited at a reduced speed until the day resets, enough for messages, email and maps anywhere in Uruguay.
Can I hotspot to my laptop or travel partner?
Yes. Tethering works on our plans, so you can share the connection with a laptop or a travel partner in Uruguay. Heavy hotspot use counts toward your daily full-speed data.
Is it too early to buy my Uruguay eSIM?
It is never too early. Validity starts on your first connection in Uruguay, not at purchase. Buy today, install whenever you like, and the plan sits ready until you land.
What if the eSIM does not work on my phone?
You are covered. Check the compatibility notes before buying, and if your eSIM will not connect and we cannot fix it, you get a full refund. Refunds are available any time until the eSIM is installed.

Compatible with iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, and recent Samsung Galaxy models. Data-only plan. No calls or SMS.
