Why an eSIM is Recommended for Uruguay

No Free EU Roaming

Unlike European countries, Uruguay does not benefit from free EU roaming. Your home plan will be expensive: between $2 and $5 per MB depending on your carrier. For a one-week trip with moderate usage (browsing, social media), you can easily spend $50 to $100 on roaming.

Free WiFi vs eSIM

Free WiFi is available in Uruguayan hotels and cafes, but it has risks:

Security: unsecured public networks, hacking risks
Reliability: unstable connections, frequent dropouts
Mobility: impossible to use while traveling (transport, excursions)

An eSIM offers secure and reliable connectivity everywhere, even in remote areas.

Network Coverage in Uruguay

Uruguay has excellent 4G coverage (95%+) in populated areas thanks to three major carriers:

Carrier	Coverage	5G	Market Share	Used by
Antel	95%+	Yes	50% (leader)	Airalo, Holafly
Movistar	90%+	Yes	30%	GoMoWorld, Saily
Claro	85%+	Yes	20%	Ubigi

Coverage by destination

Montevideo: excellent 4G/5G coverage throughout the capital
Punta del Este: excellent coverage in the resort city and beaches
Colonia del Sacramento: good coverage in the historic city
Piriapolis: good coverage in the coastal town
Rural areas: variable coverage depending on location

How to Install Your Uruguay eSIM

Purchase your plan (QR code received by email in 2 min)
Install 24-48h before departure from your WiFi
Activate upon arrival in Uruguay (timer starts)
Keep your home SIM for calls and texts

Compatibility: iPhone XS+, Samsung S20+, Pixel 3+, Xiaomi 12+, OnePlus 8+
