Coverage and networks

Your eSIM connects to a partner network in Argentina and switches if the signal is better on another one. The networks for each plan are confirmed at checkout.

Argentina is a country of long distances: overnight buses, domestic flights and road trips through wine country and the Andes. In Buenos Aires, ride-hailing apps and maps make data useful from the first day, and WhatsApp is how most hotels and tour companies stay in touch.

Coverage is good in Buenos Aires, Mendoza and the other cities. In Patagonia, the stretches of Ruta 40 between towns and many hiking trails around El Chaltén can be without signal for hours.

Check your phone first

Your phone must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. If it was bought from a mobile network on contract, ask them to unlock it before you travel.

  • Dial *#06#. If you see an EID number, your phone supports eSIM.
  • Most iPhones from XR and XS onwards, Google Pixel 3 onwards and Samsung Galaxy S20 onwards support eSIM.

We check it against the list of eSIM phones. Nothing is saved.

Argentina eSIM questions

Will it work on Ruta 40?

Near towns, yes; between them there are long sections with no coverage at all. Download maps, fill up the tank and tell someone your route before you set off.

Can I use it at the Iguazú Falls?

On the Argentine side, yes, around Puerto Iguazú and the park entrance. If you visit the Brazilian side too, you need a plan for Brazil or one that covers both countries.

Does an Argentina plan work in Chile?

No. Many Patagonia trips cross between El Calafate and Torres del Paine, so add a Chile plan or choose a Latin America regional plan that lists both countries.

Can I buy the plan now and travel next month?

Yes. The plan starts when the eSIM first connects in Argentina. Install it within 180 days of buying.
