Coverage and networks

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

Brazil runs on WhatsApp: hotels, tour operators, restaurants and even shops expect you to message them, and ride-hailing apps such as Uber and 99 are the usual way to get around Rio and São Paulo. Having data from the moment you land makes all of that simpler.

Coverage is good in big cities and along most of the coast. In the Amazon, the Pantanal and the interior of the north-east it is limited to towns and some lodges, and boat trips on the rivers are mostly offline.

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.

Brazil eSIM questions

Do I need data for WhatsApp in Brazil?

Yes, it is the main way businesses talk to customers there. WhatsApp keeps using your usual number while the eSIM supplies data, so you can message hotels and guides as you would at home.

Will it work in the Amazon?

In Manaus and other river towns, yes. On boat trips and at jungle lodges it is often limited or missing; many lodges offer Wi-Fi at set times instead.

Does it work on the Argentine side of the Iguaçu Falls?

No – that side is in Argentina. A Brazil plan covers the Brazilian park; for the other side, add an Argentina plan or 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 Brazil. Install it within 180 days of buying.
