The (almost) 5-star eSIM
The eSIM was very easy to install and, once I reached my destination, I had a connection from the very first moment without having to worry about roaming.
Activation was quick and simple, and I had a connection the whole time with no hassle. Coverage and speed were very good.
I went on a trip around Latin America and had coverage everywhere, at a very good price. Highly recommended 💪🏼

More about the Uruguay eSIM
eSIM for Uruguay: internet without roaming
With our eSIM for Uruguay, you arrive in Montevideo with mobile data working from the moment you turn on your phone, no airport queues and no swapping your physical SIM. You connect to the local networks of Antel, Movistar and Claro, which provide 4G/LTE coverage in the main cities and much of the coast. You book Ubers, open Google Maps, send WhatsApp messages and share photos just like at home, paying a fixed rate you know before you travel.
Roaming in Uruguay: why an eSIM makes sense for you
Uruguay is not part of the European Union, so your home plan's "roam like at home" doesn't apply here. Using your regular line recklessly can cost between 10 and 15 € a day, and a couple of videos or one call can spike your bill without warning. The eSIM removes that surprise: you only pay for the data you choose and browse at local rates. Plus you keep your usual number, which stays available to receive SMS from your bank or verification codes.
How much does an eSIM for Uruguay cost?
For a weekend getaway to Montevideo and Colonia del Sacramento, 1 GB is usually enough; for one or two weeks touring Punta del Este and the coast, budget between 3 and 5 GB if you use maps and messaging daily; and if you work remotely or share lots of videos, go for 10 GB or an unlimited plan. You can see all the options and compare rates at all destinations.
eSIM vs physical SIM in Uruguay
A traditional SIM card means finding an Antel or Claro store, showing ID and registering the line, which in Uruguay can take a while. The eSIM is a digital chip: you buy it before you leave, install it at home over Wi-Fi and it arrives active. There's no chip to lose, you keep your regular SIM inside your phone and switch between both from settings whenever you want.
Does the eSIM work in Montevideo, Punta del Este or Colonia?
Yes. Coverage relies on the network of Antel, the state-owned operator with the best reach in the country, plus Movistar and Claro. You'll have good signal in Montevideo, Punta del Este, Colonia del Sacramento, Maldonado, Salto and Piriápolis, as well as on the busiest routes and beach towns along the Atlantic coast. In rural inland areas the signal can be weaker, which is normal for any carrier.
How do you activate the Uruguay eSIM?
When you buy it you receive a QR code by email. You scan it from your phone's settings while still at home on Wi-Fi, and the eSIM is installed; when you land in Montevideo you just turn on data roaming for that profile and you're set. The whole process takes a couple of minutes and you don't need any technical know-how. If it's your first time, follow the step-by-step in our eSIM guide and you'll travel connected from the moment you arrive.
