Argentina travel data eSIM
What is an Argentina eSIM?
Keep your phone connected while exploring Buenos Aires, Mendoza, and Cordoba. This Argentina eSIM provides mobile data for navigation, messaging, and bookings during your trip. Install it on your unlocked device before departure. The plan activates only when you first connect to a local network in Argentina. Your home SIM remains active for calls and texts, allowing you to stay reachable without roaming charges or physical SIM swaps.
The plan connects to Movistar 4G and Claro 4G networks. Data usage is deducted from your selected package as you browse, stream, or use maps. The validity period begins upon your first connection in the country. You can monitor remaining data through the provider’s app. This setup ensures you have internet access for essential travel tasks while visiting major cities and regions.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which networks does the Argentina eSIM use?
It connects to Movistar 4G and Claro 4G. This means your device registers on whichever of these two operators is available at your specific location, providing data access without needing a local physical SIM card or manual network selection.
Does this eSIM work in neighboring countries?
No, this is a single-country plan valid only in Argentina. If you are traveling to adjacent regions like Chile or Uruguay, you need a specific regional plan designed for multi-country trips to ensure continuous data connectivity throughout your journey.
Which plan size suits a trip to Buenos Aires and Cordoba?
As a rough guide, the 5GB or 10GB options often suffice for two weeks in two cities, depending on your streaming habits. Light users may find 3GB adequate, while heavy data consumers might prefer 20GB to avoid running out mid-trip.
Will I lose my own phone number?
No. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls and WhatsApp. The eSIM only carries data, so both work side by side.
When does my plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy it. So you can install it days before you fly without losing any time.
Is my phone compatible?
Most phones from 2018 onwards are: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, you have eSIM. Full list on our Device Compatibility page.
How fast will I get my QR code?
Usually within a couple of minutes of payment, by email. If it has not arrived, check spam first, then write to us and we will resend it immediately.
Can I use hotspot or tethering?
Yes, on every plan we sell. Share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or the rest of your group.
What if I change my mind?
If you have not installed the eSIM, you get a full refund within 180 days. Once a profile is activated and data has been used it cannot be refunded — the allowance is consumed from the network. Full detail in our Refund Policy.
Do you sell plans for groups?
Yes. For Umrah and Hajj groups, student trips and tour operators we deliver the QR codes as a single batch before departure, at group rates. Email us with your group size and destination.
