Bought the wrong plan? An unused, never-activated eSIM can be refunded in full within 30 days of purchase. See our refund policy for the full terms.
Fixed data plans give you a set amount of data, for example 1 GB or 5 GB, to use at full speed for the whole plan period. When it runs out, you top up or buy again. Pick this if you know roughly how much you'll use.
Unlimited plans have no total data cap for the plan period, but each day includes a high-speed allowance. Once you use that day's allowance, you carry on at a reduced speed. Reduced-speed data has a daily limit too, and if you reach it, data pauses until the allowance resets 24 hours after you activate the eSIM. Pick this for heavier or less predictable use. A fair-use policy applies.
Pay As You Go is not a plan at all. You add credit once and it comes off by the megabyte at the local rate as you use it, so you never pay for data you do not finish. Credit never expires, data pauses when the balance hits zero, and the same eSIM keeps working across every country we cover. It costs more per gigabyte than a plan, so pick this for light or hard to predict use rather than heavy days.
State-owned Entel holds the biggest share of Bolivia's mobile market, with Tigo second and Viva third, according to industry market data. Entel's own 4G coverage list names the covered towns in all nine departments.
Blockades go up often and without warning, and can disrupt public transport and even roads to airports. Never try to cross one. Canada's travel advice links to the national road administrator's road-closures page (in Spanish), worth checking before any long overland trip.
The Uyuni salt flats become dangerous in the rainy season, from November to March, and Bolivia sets no official minimum safety standards for tour operators. Book with a well-established company, as both UK and Canadian advice recommend, and keep an eye on the forecast before you set off.
Ambulance numbers vary: UK advice lists 118, while Canada's gives 165 for La Paz.
