An eSIM is an embedded SIM card, and you probably already have an eSIM-compatible device. When you install an eSIM for a country or region, it lets your device connect to local networks in that area. This means your device will have data without needing Wi-Fi or paying roaming charges.
From snow-capped mountains to beautiful beaches, Ecuador is a small country on the west coast of South America that is full of cultural, natural and architectural experiences.
When visiting Ecuador, you may want to stay connected on social media, drive around using digital maps, check email, video-call with family, and make reservations online. An Ecuador eSIM will give you a steady mobile data connection so you always have internet access on the go.
How much data you may need will depend on your usage and travel plans. If you’re hoping to explore the country and use apps and browse online at your convenience, you’re going to need data.
Not sure how much data you’ll need? You can pick a smaller data package and then top up later if you need more during your travels in Ecuador. It’s that simple!
We also have a travel data calculator to help you estimate how much data you’ll need for your trip, based on how you’ll likely be using your phone or tablet while you travel.
You won’t pay a penny in roaming charges when you’re using an Ecuador eSIM for your mobile data.
Just install your Ecuador eSIM while you have a strong internet connection (either at home, or while already travelling), and then activate your prepaid Ecuador data package when you’re ready to use it.
To avoid roaming charges on your primary SIM, please make sure you’ve turned off Data Roaming on your primary SIM (and confirmed you aren’t enrolled in a carrier travel plan) to prevent your home carrier from adding roaming charges to your next bill.
