Does the eSIM work as soon as I land in Latin America?

Yes. Install the eSIM before you leave Germany and it connects to a local network when you arrive in Latin America. Make sure data roaming is switched on for the eSIM.

Can I top up my plan for Latin America?

Yes. You can buy another plan at any time and add it to the same phone. Your existing eSIM profile stays in place.

How fast is the eSIM in Latin America?

Our plans for Latin America use local 4G/LTE networks. Real speeds depend on local coverage and are usually 10–50 Mbit/s.

Do I keep my German number while I use the eSIM in Latin America?

Yes. The eSIM is added as an extra data plan, so your German SIM and phone number stay active. You can still be reached on messenger apps and over Wi-Fi.

How much does an eSIM for Latin America cost?

eSIM data plans for Latin America start at €6.29. You pay once for the data you choose — no contract, no monthly fee and no surprise roaming bill. Bigger data packs and longer validity cost more.

Is an eSIM cheaper than roaming in Latin America?

It depends on the destination. Inside the EU your German plan usually includes roaming, often with a fair-use data cap; outside the EU, roaming is typically charged per day or per megabyte, and a travel eSIM is usually much cheaper. With an eSIM you see the full price before you buy and pay only for your data pack.

Can I use the eSIM as a Wi-Fi hotspot in Latin America?

Yes. You can share the connection with a laptop, tablet or a travel companion through your phone's personal hotspot. Hotspot use comes out of the same data allowance, so choose a slightly larger pack if you plan to tether.

Should I install the eSIM before I leave or after I arrive?

Install it at home over Wi-Fi before you travel. The data plan switches on automatically when your phone joins a network in Latin America, so you are online the moment you land instead of hunting for airport Wi-Fi.

How much data do I need for a trip to Latin America?

For maps, messaging and some browsing, 1–3 GB is usually enough. Add social media and photo uploads and around 5 GB is safer; for streaming, video calls or hotspot use, plan on 10 GB or more. If you run short, you can buy another pack at any time.

Will the eSIM work on my phone?

It works on any eSIM-capable phone, including iPhone XS and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later and Google Pixel 3 and later. The phone must also be unlocked (not tied to one network). To check yours, look for "Add eSIM" under Mobile Data or Connections in your settings.

Latin America is made for long round trips, from the cities of Mexico City and Buenos Aires through the Andes to the beaches of the Caribbean. If you combine several countries in one trip, a regional Latin America eSIM is the most flexible choice: one data plan covers all 38 countries included, you keep the same connection and do not have to change anything when you cross a border. Besides South and Central America, the islands of the Caribbean are included. Install the eSIM before you leave using a QR code and be online on arrival, with no pricey overseas roaming and no SIM swap.

When is a Latin America eSIM worth it?

A regional Latin America eSIM is worth it as soon as your trip covers more than one country, such as an Andes round trip through Peru, Bolivia and Chile or a combination of Mexico and the Caribbean. Outside the EU there is no cheap roaming, so a data plan of your own saves especially much here. For a stay in just one country, a single-country plan is usually the cheaper choice. Before you book, check that all your destinations are included in the plan.
