Choose your data plan
Which plan type is right for you?
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.
Pick a plan and pay. Your eSIM QR code arrives by email instantly.

Good to know in South America
Roaming
French Guiana is EU
French Guiana is part of France and one of the EU's outermost regions, so EU roaming rules apply there for European SIMs, unlike in Brazil next door. Whatever SIM you use at home, this eSIM covers French Guiana and every other country on the plan at one price.
Coverage
Amazon and Andes gaps
Signal follows the cities and main roads. In the Amazon it can vanish entirely: Canada's advice for French Guiana says the network doesn't exist in parts of the rainforest. Before a remote Andean trek, Peru's regulator OSIPTEL publishes coverage maps by operator.
Alerts
Warnings on your phone
Chile and Brazil send emergency alerts straight to compatible phones in the affected area. Chile's SAE warns of tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and wildfires, and Brazil's Defesa Civil Alerta needs no sign-up and shows up even on a phone set to silent. If one arrives, follow it.
Help
Emergency numbers change
Each country has its own. 911 works in Ecuador and Uruguay and reaches police in Argentina and Paraguay, while Brazil's police answer on 190. Colombia uses 123, Chile 133 for police and 131 for an ambulance, Peru 105 for police, and French Guiana 112. UK travel advice gives each country's full list.
