Buy eSIM data plans for Ecuador

Your Ecuador eSIM is a prepaid data plan that connects your phone to local Ecuador networks at full speed the moment you land — a digital SIM you install before you fly, with no queues, no SIM swap and no roaming fees.

An Ecuador eSIM is a data-only plan that loads onto your phone digitally, so there's no plastic SIM to hunt for. Land at Quito's Mariscal Sucre International Airport and step out already online, with your eSIM connecting to Movistar's 4G network. Skip the roaming charges and the kiosk queues: from the moment you reach the terminal you can open maps, call a ride, and message family back home. Whether you're plotting a route between the Andes and the coast or just confirming your hotel, you stay connected without swapping out your everyday number.

Quito

A Quito eSIM keeps you oriented as you wander the narrow lanes of the UNESCO old town, where it's easy to lose your bearings between churches and plazas. Use mobile data to plan a day trip out to the Middle of the World equator monument, then check the weather around the surrounding volcanoes before you set off. Staying connected here means you can pull up directions and share photos without searching for Wi-Fi.

Frequently asked questions

Which mobile networks does the Ecuador eSIM use?

Your Ecuador eSIM connects to Movistar, running on its 4G network. You'll get a strong signal in city centres like the capital and other main towns, with reception becoming more variable once you head into remote rural and mountain areas.

Will I have coverage from the Andes down to the coast and the Amazon?

Across the highland cities, the coast, and most travelled routes you'll find reliable mobile data. As you move into the Amazon and other remote regions, coverage can thin out, so it's wise to download offline maps and send important messages while you still have a strong signal.

Does this plan work for a wider South America trip?

This is an Ecuador-only plan, designed for travel within the country. If your trip crosses into neighbouring countries, choose a regional South America eSIM instead so you stay connected across multiple borders without switching plans.

When should I set up the eSIM before arriving in Ecuador?

Yes. Install and set up your eSIM over Wi-Fi before you fly, so it's ready to switch on the moment you reach Quito's Mariscal Sucre International Airport. That way you're connected as you walk through the terminal, with no setup needed once you arrive.

Will my phone work with an Ecuador eSIM?

Most recent phones support eSIM, but you'll need a device that is both eSIM-compatible and carrier-unlocked. It's worth checking your phone's settings for an eSIM or digital SIM option before you travel, so there are no surprises when you arrive.

Can I keep my own number and use a hotspot in Ecuador?

Yes. The eSIM handles your data while your usual SIM stays active for calls and texts on your own number, so you can still receive codes from home. Most phones also let you share the eSIM's data as a personal hotspot for your laptop or a travel companion's device.
