Argentina
An eSIM for Argentina is a digital data plan for the phone you already own. There is no physical SIM card, no airport lines, and no passport needed. Your plan is ready on your SIMAREA account before you even leave home.
It works safely alongside your normal SIM. You keep your own number for calls and important text messages. Your data goes through the SIMAREA plan. Just turn off data roaming on your home SIM to avoid high bills.
Every plan here uses more than one partner network. Your phone joins one when you arrive and can switch to another if the signal weakens.
If you stay longer, top up your current plan with more data. You do not need to buy a new one.
What it is not: a local phone number. If you need a number for verification codes, see virtual numbers.
Argentina eSIM on Claro and Movistar
Data for a stay in Buenos Aires or a trip that goes on to Uruguay or Brazil, as a day pass or a fixed plan of 7, 15, or 30 days.
The unlimited plan is the day pass we feature for Argentina: after its daily full-speed allowance it keeps you connected at a lower speed, and it is billed per day for the days you choose. Fixed plans are one price for the term shown. Nothing on this page is an estimate.
How to get mobile data in Argentina
Install it at home before you go. Some plans here start counting at installation, so check the line under the price for the plan you pick.
Pick eSIM plan
Choose how long you are there. The day pass is billed per day, so the term is yours to set.
Pay, then scan
Charged from your balance, which you top up with crypto. Your QR code is in your dashboard once the order is paid.
Turn it on when you arrive
Turn on data roaming for your SIMAREA plan when you arrive, and it joins a partner network.
What to know about an eSIM for Argentina
The specifics that decide whether a travel eSIM is useful once you're actually there.
More than one network
Every plan here lists more than one partner network. If one gets weak, your phone can switch to another.
Set up before you go
No SIM card store, no passport check. Install it at home, then turn on data roaming for it when you arrive.
Hotspot sharing
Share your internet with a laptop or a friend, if your plan and phone allow it.
Keep your own number
The eSIM is just for internet. Your normal SIM still receives calls and important bank codes. You can use both at once.
Keep using the same eSIM
Staying longer? Top up the same plan with more data from your dashboard. No need for a new QR code.
If it does not work
Not installed or connected yet? Ask for a refund within 30 days of buying it. Installed but not working on any of its networks? Support helps, and refunds you if it cannot be fixed.
Argentina eSIM plans on Claro and Movistar
All ten plans on this page list Claro and Movistar, run on 3G and 4G, and send traffic through Belgium. Sites see a Belgian address, not an Argentine one, and none of the ten confirms 5G.
The smallest plan is 100 MB for 7 days, a term that also comes with 500 MB or 1 GB. Two weeks means 2 or 3 GB for 15 days, and the month-long plans carry 3, 5, 10, or 20 GB for 30 days. The day pass gives you the first 1 GB each day at full speed, then 512 Kbps until the reset. Each plan tops up with more data on the same eSIM; the term doesn't change.
Personal isn't on the Argentina plans, but two lists have it
Some travelers look for Personal by name. No Argentina plan lists it. Two multi-country lists do, both with a UK exit:
- Latin America, 6-country list: Personal marked 5G, from 1 GB for 7 days to 50 GB for 180 days. The 30 GB and 50 GB plans don't top up.
- Caribbean, 25-country list: Personal with no 5G mark. Despite the name, this list includes Argentina. It has 1 GB for 7 days, 3, 5, or 10 GB for 30 days, and a day pass.
The 20-country Latin America list and Global 130 go the other way: Movistar alone in Argentina, with an exit in the UK or Norway.
Buenos Aires to Montevideo, Iguazú, or Santiago
Uruguay and Brazil are on all four of those lists with Argentina, so a side trip to Montevideo or the Brazilian side of Iguazú can use one eSIM. Chile is on three, all but the Caribbean list. Bolivia and Paraguay are on three as well, all but the 6-country list.
If you'd rather handle one country at a time, Uruguay, Brazil, and Chile have plans of their own to pair with this one.
Common questions about an Argentina eSIM
Is there an unlimited plan for Argentina?
The day pass is the closest thing, and it still has an allowance: full speed for 1 GB each day, and 512 Kbps from there until the reset. On the 20-country Latin America day pass, that same 1 GB slows to 1 Mbps.
Can I get a +54 number on this eSIM?
No. The eSIM is for data, while calls and SMS stay with your home SIM and its number. Virtual numbers are a separate rental for a term.
Do the days start when I install it?
Only on the 100 MB week. The other nine plans start at the first connection in Argentina, so you can install them before your trip, and an unused plan stays valid for 180 days.
What if I stay in Argentina more than 30 days?
A top-up gives you more data but no extra days, so a month is the ceiling on the Argentina plans. For longer terms, the 6-country list has 50 GB for 180 days, and Global 130 has 20 GB for 90 days or 1 GB for 365 days.
