Good to know in Ecuador
- Networks
Claro leads
Ecuador has three mobile networks, and Claro is the biggest: in the regulator ARCOTEL's monthly statistics it holds about half of all active lines. The other two, a second private network and state-owned CNT, split the rest, with CNT the smallest of the three.
- Help
The ECU 911 app
Besides calling 911, you can raise an emergency through the official ECU 911 app: register once, then hold the 911 button for three seconds and the centre calls you back. In remote areas, Canada's advice is to find a spot with signal and call 911 so the authorities can locate your phone.
- Arrival
Galápagos transit card
Flying to the Galápagos? You need a Transit Control Card, bought at the Galápagos Governing Council counter at Quito or Guayaquil airport before you check in, says Canada's travel advice. The islands' government lets tourists pre-register online to speed things up, and UK advice says to keep a copy of the card.
