Latin America eSIM

A South America loop crosses more borders than any other classic trip: Buenos Aires to Santiago to Lima to Bogotá, with Brazil, Uruguay or Ecuador on the way. Every country has its own SIM registration rule, and Brazil's needs a tax number tourists do not have.

The FairSIM Latin America eSIM covers 11 countries at one wholesale rate, on Telcel in Mexico, Vivo and Claro in Brazil, Personal in Argentina and Claro or Movistar elsewhere. One install for the whole trip, and top-ups from the app between buses.

How FairSIM works

  1. 1

    Pick a destination and a plan

    Choose the country or region and the data you need. The price you see is the price you pay.

    Tap install

    On iPhone (iOS 17.4+) the eSIM installs in one tap, no QR code. Do it at home while you still have Wi-Fi.

Latin America eSIM questions

Which countries does the Latin America eSIM cover?

Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Uruguay, Costa Rica, El Salvador and French Guiana. The full list is on this page and in the app.

Does it cover the United States and Canada?

No. Those are on the North America plan, together with Mexico.

Does it work for a cruise or a Caribbean island?

In the covered countries, yes. For Caribbean islands, the app sells a separate Caribbean plan; at sea, ships use satellite networks that no eSIM covers.

How much data for a month across South America?

About 20 GB for maps, ride-hailing, messaging and photos; more if you stream or work remotely.

What is an eSIM?

A SIM card built into your phone. Instead of a plastic chip, you download a profile. Every iPhone since the XS has one next to the physical SIM slot, so your home number stays put while FairSIM supplies the data.

Is my phone compatible?

FairSIM works with eSIM-compatible, carrier-unlocked iPhones: the XS, XR and everything newer. iOS 17.4 or later unlocks the one-tap install with no QR code. Check the full list on the How it works page.

When should I install my eSIM?

Before you travel, while you still have Wi-Fi. Installing does not start your plan; the validity typically starts when the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination.

Do FairSIM eSIMs come with a phone number?

No. FairSIM eSIMs are data-only by design, which keeps costs low. For calls and texts, your physical SIM stays active so you keep your existing number, and WhatsApp, FaceTime and iMessage work over data.
