South America eSIM Plans
Explore South America with reliable 4G coverage across Brazil, Argentina, Chile and more.






Available Plans
One prepaid eSIM covers your whole South America trip. Land in São Paulo, cross to Buenos Aires, fly on to Lima or Santiago — the same eSIM keeps working, so there is no hunting for a local SIM card at every border and no roaming bill when you get home. It installs from a QR code emailed to you within minutes of ordering.
The Plan
| Plan | Data | Validity | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Orange Global Explorer eSIM | 20GB high-speed, then unlimited at 128 kbps | 30 days | A$43.90 |
This is a single-plan collection on purpose. Rather than sell a different eSIM for each country, we cover South America with one multi-country plan that also works across the rest of the world, so the eSIM you buy for Brazil still works if your trip adds Colombia, Peru or a stopover in the United States.
Coverage: 13 South American Countries
The plan connects in:
- Argentina
- Bolivia
- Brazil
- Chile
- Colombia
- Ecuador
- French Guiana
- Guyana
- Paraguay
- Peru
- Suriname
- Uruguay
- Venezuela
The Falkland Islands are not covered. Beyond South America the same eSIM reaches more than 180 countries in total, including the United States, Europe, Asia and Oceania.
How It Works
- Order online. Your QR code is emailed to you — usually within minutes.
- Install the eSIM before you fly, while you still have Wi-Fi. Installing does not start the clock.
- Land, turn on data roaming, and the eSIM connects to the best available local partner network of Orange.
- Your 30 days begin at that first network connection, not at purchase.
Why Buy Your South America eSIM From Us
- One eSIM, one install. No swapping profiles at each border, no local SIM queues at the airport.
- Hotspot included. Share the connection with a laptop or a travel companion's phone.
- You keep your own number. The eSIM runs alongside your normal SIM, so WhatsApp and your bank's SMS codes keep working.
- No ID registration. Some South American countries require ID to buy a local SIM card. This plan does not.
- Instant email delivery. Nothing ships, so there is nothing to wait for or lose.
South America eSIM by Country
Brazil eSIM
Covers Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Salvador and the Iguaçu Falls region. Install before you fly and the eSIM connects on arrival, which saves dealing with the CPF paperwork that buying a local Brazilian SIM card usually involves.
Argentina eSIM
Works in Buenos Aires, Mendoza, Bariloche and El Calafate. Handy on the long-distance bus routes and for the Patagonia legs where finding a local top-up shop is not realistic.
Peru eSIM
Covers Lima, Cusco, Arequipa and the Sacred Valley. Coverage follows the towns and main roads — expect gaps on the Inca Trail itself, as no local network reaches the whole route.
Chile eSIM
Works in Santiago, Valparaíso, the Atacama and Puerto Montt. Because the same eSIM also covers Argentina, the Andes crossings and Patagonia loops that cross the border need no second plan.
Colombia eSIM
Covers Bogotá, Medellín, Cartagena and the Coffee Triangle. Data works from the moment you land, which matters for ride-hailing apps rather than negotiating an airport taxi.
Ecuador eSIM
Works in Quito, Guayaquil and Cuenca. Mainland coverage is good; the Galápagos Islands depend on the local network reaching the specific island you are on.
Bolivia eSIM
Covers La Paz, Sucre, Santa Cruz and the Uyuni town area. On the salt flats themselves coverage thins out quickly once you leave town, so download your maps first.
Uruguay eSIM
Works in Montevideo, Punta del Este and Colonia del Sacramento — a common short hop from Buenos Aires, and covered by the same eSIM you are already using in Argentina.
Paraguay eSIM
Covers Asunción and Ciudad del Este. Frequently added to a Brazil or Argentina itinerary, and again no separate plan is needed.
South America eSIM FAQs
Does one eSIM really cover the whole of South America?
Yes. The Orange Global Explorer plan connects in 13 South American countries — Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay and Venezuela — on a single install, so you do not swap anything at the border. The Falkland Islands are not covered.
How much data do I get, and what happens when it runs out?
You get 20GB at full speed. After that the eSIM keeps working at 128 kbps for the rest of the 30 days rather than cutting off — that is enough for maps, messaging and email, but not for video streaming.
When do the 30 days start?
At your first connection to a network, not when you buy. You can install the eSIM at home days before departure without using up validity.
Can I use it as a hotspot?
Yes. Tethering is supported, so you can share the connection with a laptop, tablet or a travel companion's phone.
Does it include calls and texts?
It includes 15 minutes of international calls and 50 SMS. These are outbound only — the plan does not come with a local phone number, so people cannot call or text you on it. Keep your usual SIM active if you need to receive calls.
Do I need to register my ID?
No. Several South American countries require identity documents to buy a local prepaid SIM card. This eSIM needs no registration — you install it and it works.
Will my phone work with it?
Your phone needs to be eSIM-capable and carrier-unlocked. Most iPhones from the XS onwards and most recent Samsung, Google Pixel and other flagship Android phones qualify. Check your settings for an "Add eSIM" or "Add mobile plan" option before ordering.
What if my trip also goes outside South America?
The same eSIM covers more than 180 countries in total, including the United States, Europe, Asia and Oceania. A stopover in Miami or Madrid on the way home uses the same plan and the same data allowance.
