Where you will travel

The signal gaps are in the far south and the high desert: save your maps before you leave town.

Torres del Paine
There is no mobile signal in the park, and most campsites sell Wi-Fi.
San Pedro de Atacama and El Tatio
Good mobile signal is rare in the area: download offline maps before the geysers and the salt flats.
The Carretera Austral
The signal is mostly in the larger towns along the road: carry offline maps.

Arriving in Chile

Since 20 August 2026, every prepaid line in Chile is tied to an ID card or passport number, and a phone from abroad on a Chilean SIM is blocked after 30 days unless it is registered. Phones on roaming, like the South America eSIM, need neither.

eSIM, airport SIM or roaming?

Three ways to get online, side by side.

Questions about eSIM in Chile

Which eSIM should I get for Chile?

The South America eSIM on this page: one prepaid plan for Peru, Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Ecuador. Choose the days of your trip and the data you need, and the QR code appears seconds after payment.

Does it keep working when I cross a border?

Yes. The same eSIM works in Chile, Peru, Argentina, Brazil and Ecuador, so there is no new plan to buy in each country.

Do I have to register my phone in Chile?

Not with the South America eSIM: phones on roaming need no registration. On a Chilean SIM, a phone from abroad works for 30 days and is then blocked unless you register it with the network or an approved certifier.

Do I need to turn on data roaming?

Yes, for the eSIM line only: the plan roams on a partner network in each country. Keep data roaming off on your usual SIM, so your home carrier cannot charge you for roaming.

Can I keep my WhatsApp number?

Yes. Your usual SIM stays in your phone with your number for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps the same number while the eSIM carries your data.

What if the eSIM does not work?

You get a full refund if it does not work and we cannot fix it, or if it is not delivered. Write to contact@esimamericas.com with your order link.

Good to know

How your eSIM works on this trip, and where to find help.

Get online in Chile with the South America eSIM: one prepaid plan for Peru, Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Ecuador. Buy it on this page, scan the QR code at home and switch it on when you land in Santiago. Cross a border and it keeps working.

In each country on the list it roams on a partner network, and your phone shows that network's name, so turn on data roaming for the eSIM line when you land. The mobile networks in Chile are Entel, Movistar, Claro and WOM. A Chile 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.
