Collection: Latin America eSIM

For Australians, Latin America is the big one — a long haul across the Pacific that earns weeks winding from Mexico City down to Buenos Aires and Patagonia. Time it for July to September and you'll catch dry season in the Andes: winter at home, clear skies over Machu Picchu and the Salar de Uyuni. The catch is staying connected — buying a local SIM in every country means kiosks, paperwork and a new number at each border. A prepaid eSIM, from $8.60 AUD, sorts your data before you leave home.

Why an eSIM for Latin America

• One set-up, many borders — load your plan before departure instead of hunting down a SIM kiosk in each new country.
• Keep your Australian number — dual SIM means your normal SIM stays active for banking codes and calls home while the eSIM handles data.
• Prepaid with top-ups — pay up front, no roaming bill shock, and add more data if Patagonia keeps you longer than planned.
• Live usage tracking — the ESIMStore app (iPhone and Android) shows your remaining data, backed by Australian-based support.

How it works

Pick your plan and check out — your eSIM arrives by email as a QR code within minutes. Scan it on your home Wi-Fi before you fly. When you land, your data activates on 4G/5G partner networks where available, ready for the ride from the airport. The full walkthrough is on our how it works page.

Flying in via North America? Pair this with a Mexico eSIM or USA eSIM for a stopover, or cover both continents with The Americas. Then grab the ESIMStore app to watch your data in real time as you go.

FAQs

Will my iPhone work with an eSIM in Latin America?

Most recent iPhones and Android phones support eSIM — check your handset is eSIM-compatible and unlocked before you leave Australia. Your Australian SIM stays active alongside the eSIM, so you keep your normal number for banking codes and calls home.

Can I use one eSIM across several Latin American countries?

That's the point of a regional plan — you can cross from Peru into Bolivia or Chile without queuing for a new SIM at the border. Coverage varies by plan, so check each plan's country list against your route before you buy.

When should I set up my Latin America eSIM before I fly?

Any time — your QR code arrives by email straight away after purchase. Scan it on Wi-Fi at home before you fly, and your data activates when you land. Top-ups are available if you run low mid-trip.
