Brazil’s networks
Vivo, Claro and TIM each won a national 3.5 GHz lot for 5G in November 2021, and in April 2022 they split Oi’s mobile business between them. The Brazil eSIM runs on Claro, as a Brazilian line.
Where you will travel
Away from the cities the signal thins out: in the rainforest, in the dunes and on the islands, so save maps and bookings first.
- The Amazon around Manaus
- Remote lodges can have no signal at all: Amazon Eco Lodge, reached only by boat or seaplane, has no phone signal or internet.
- Lençóis Maranhenses
- Barreirinhas has signal on every network, though it often drops when it rains, and in Atins it is poor on all of them.
- Ilha Grande
- Phones work well in Vila do Abraão but not on every beach, and when the power goes out the signal often goes too.
Arriving in Brazil
A SIM from a Brazilian shop needs only your passport, not a CPF, and Anatel does not treat phones bought abroad as irregular. The Brazil eSIM is a Brazilian line on Claro: install it at home and switch it on when you land.

How your eSIM works on this trip, and where to find help.
The Brazil eSIM runs on Claro, a Brazilian network: your phone connects as a line in Brazil, not as a roaming visitor. Buy it on this page, install it on Wi-Fi before you fly and switch it on when you land in São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro.
Brazil's other networks are Vivo and TIM. We sell one local plan for Brazil and name its network before you pay, so you can check it on your phone. A Brazil SIM card from the airport means a queue after landing. You install this eSIM at home, before you fly.
You pay by card, and the QR code appears on your order page seconds after payment: bookmark that page or save the QR code before you leave it. Then you add the eSIM to your phone. When you land, choose the eSIM line for mobile data and keep your own number for calls and texts. Full refund if it does not work. The steps for iPhone and Android are in the help centre.
Travelling on to Argentina, Chile, Peru or Ecuador? The South America eSIM covers Brazil too, with one eSIM for the whole trip. Both plans are on this page.
