Buy eSIM data plans for Uruguay

Your Uruguay eSIM is a prepaid data plan that connects your phone to local Uruguay 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.

A Uruguay eSIM is a data-only plan that loads onto your phone before you fly, so the moment you land at Montevideo's Carrasco International Airport you are online without hunting for a SIM kiosk. It connects to the local Movistar (4G) network, giving you mobile data the instant you reach the terminal. Skip the roaming bills, pull up maps to your hotel, message family back home, and book a ride straight from arrivals. Everything is already set up, so your first hour in the country is spent exploring rather than queuing.

Frequently asked questions

Which mobile networks does the Uruguay eSIM use?

The Uruguay eSIM connects to the local Movistar (4G) network, giving you mobile data across the country. Coverage is strongest in city centres and along built-up areas, while it can be more variable in remote spots.

Will I have signal for summer beach trips along the coast?

Yes. Town coverage is strong in coastal spots like Punta del Este, so you can navigate the beaches, check the weather, and share photos. Signal can vary once you head away from the built-up coast into quieter, remote areas.

Will one Uruguay plan cover a multi-country trip?

This is a Uruguay-only plan, so it keeps you connected right up to the riverside towns. If you are crossing the river toward the region and want data on the other side too, choose a regional eSIM that covers a wider South America trip.

I'm planning a wider South America trip. Is one Uruguay eSIM enough?

If Uruguay is your only stop, this plan is the right fit. For a multi-country journey across South America, a single-country plan won't cover the others, so pick a regional eSIM that spans the wider route instead.

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

Install it at home over Wi-Fi a day or two before you fly, then leave activation for when you arrive. That way it switches on as you reach Montevideo's Carrasco International Airport and you are online straight off the plane.

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

Yes. The eSIM runs as a separate data-only line, so your usual number stays active for calls and texts while it handles the data. You can also share the connection as a hotspot to get a laptop or travel companion online.
