229 of these 941 plans were checked against the seller's own shop on 17 October 2026. The rest come from the seller's own feed or plan pages and are not yet independently checked.
The Watchdog Pick is the lowest real price per GB of the 941 plans in this view. Bulk data pools above 50 GB cannot win it, because their per GB rate only exists if you use data no traveller uses. Providers cannot pay for it. Unlimited plans show their fair use allowance instead of a per GB rate, because there is no per GB rate to compare.
Price per GB counts only data you can use inside the validity, at most 3 GB a day, so a big pool on a short validity cannot buy the top spot. Every provider's best two plans come first, then the rest. A plan marked Unverified price undercuts every other provider here by more than half and waits at the end until we have checked it on the seller's site. How we rank
Unlimited rows show the daily amount at full speed. Some rows also show the speed after that amount. A row with no speed does not mean the plan stays fast, so check the plan on the seller's site.

Short answer. The cheapest South America eSIM we track right now is Tourist eSIM, 20 GB for 30 Days at $31.15, which is $1.56 per GB, covering 17 countries on one eSIM. Checked 17 October 2026, 06:01 GMT.
South America has fewer regional plans than any region except Africa, and the ones that exist cluster around Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru and Colombia. The rest of the continent is thin.
What the cheapest South America eSIM costs right now
As of 17 October 2026, 06:01 GMT, the best rate on a South America plan is Tourist eSIM at $1.56 per GB: 20 GB for 30 Days at $31.15, across 17 countries. The median across all 941 plans is $4.30, so half of what is sold in this region costs more than that.
- Smallest ticket price ASIMGO, Unlimited500 MB/day for 1 Day at $0.99. Useful for a short hop, rarely the best value per GB.
- Best rate on a large plan Tourist eSIM, 20 GB for 30 Days at $31.15, $1.56 per GB. Buying bigger is almost always cheaper per GB than topping up twice.
- Longest validity Roamix, 365 Days on one plan. Long itineraries lose money on short plans that have to be replaced.
- Features across these plans 432 can be topped up, 584 advertise 5G, 830 allow hotspot use, and 548 are sold as unlimited.
Which is the best eSIM for South America?
Best depends on the trip, so here are the winners on today's numbers rather than one name. Each line is the first row of a different sort on the 941 live plans above:
- Best value Tourist eSIM, 20 GB for 30 Days at $31.15: $1.56 per GB across 17 countries.
- Widest coverage FlyEsim, 39 countries on one eSIM, 50 GB for 30 Days at $281.04.
- Best for a long trip Roamix, 365 Days on one plan, Unlimited1 GB/day at $1,581.30.
- Highest daily cap on an unlimited plan Tourist eSIM, 1 Day at $29.40, full speed up to 10 GB a day. Set that daily cap against the fixed plans before you pay for the word unlimited.
A South America eSIM only earns its keep once you cross a border. If the whole trip stays in one country, the single country plan usually wins, and the next section prices both sides.
Is a South America eSIM worth it, or is one plan per country cheaper?
This is the comparison that decides the purchase, and nobody publishes it, so here it is from our own catalogue. We price both sides on the same basket: a plan of 5 to 50 GB lasting at least 15 days, which is what a real trip needs. Bulk data pools are excluded from both sides, because nobody buys 500 GB for a fortnight.
That regional figure is Tourist eSIM, 20 GB for 30 Days at $31.15, covering 17 countries. The country figure is the average of the cheapest comparable plan in each of the 13 countries we have prices for in this region.
Single country plans are cheaper here. The regional plan is buying you one install that keeps working when you cross a border, not cheaper data. On a two country trip, two single country plans usually cost less. From three or four countries the regional plan wins on effort even where it loses on price.
The averages hide a wide spread, and the spread is where the decision actually lives. The cheapest country in this region is French Guiana at $0.56 per GB on its own plan, well under the regional rate. The dearest is Suriname at $3.24. If your itinerary leans towards the expensive end, the regional plan is worth more than the averages suggest. If it leans cheap, buy per country.
How many countries does a South America eSIM actually cover?
There is no standard. Across the 941 plans on this page the country lists differ enormously, and the name on the plan tells you almost nothing. These are the widest plans each provider currently sells in this region.
| Provider | Widest plan | Plans here | Best per GB |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tourist eSIM | 39 countries | 77 | $1.56 |
| FlyEsim | 39 countries | 56 | $5.62 |
| eSIModo | 31 countries | 40 | $3.24 |
| Lempart Flex | 25 countries | 215 | $1.80 |
| HiRoaming | 25 countries | 32 | $2.84 |
| Earth Esim | 25 countries | 33 | $4.50 |
The countries below are the ones travellers assume are covered. The share is live: it is the proportion of the 941 South America plans in our catalogue that currently include that country.
Where the continent stops being covered
Brazil, Argentina and Peru are on effectively every plan here. Coverage thins as you move to the smaller markets, and Venezuela, Paraguay, the Guianas and Suriname are the ones to verify rather than assume. The figures above are read from the live plan lists, so check them rather than trust a plan name.
Distances change the maths here. Overland routes between countries are long, buses are slow, and a plan that expires in 7 days rarely survives a real itinerary. Longer validity is worth more in South America than a slightly lower price per gigabyte.
Networks outside the main cities lean on 3G in places, so plans that advertise 5G are advertising the best case rather than the trip average.
Are the unlimited South America plans really unlimited?
No, and they are not sold as a trick either. 538 of the 941 plans here are unlimited in the fair use sense: full speed up to a daily allowance, then slower until the clock resets. A further 10 plans are unlimited in a different way: one capped speed for the whole plan, shown next to the word Unlimited in the table. The published daily allowances on these plans currently run from 0.5 GB to 10 GB a day. Past the cap the speed drops, often to 1 Mbps or less, which is fine for messages and maps and painful for video.
That is why unlimited plans carry no price per GB in our table. There is no honest per gigabyte number to print, so we show the daily allowance instead and leave the value verdict blank rather than invent one. At $1.56 per GB from the cheapest fixed plan here, unlimited only pays off if you genuinely burn several gigabytes a day.
How to pick the right South America plan
Check the country list, not the plan nameOpen the plan and read which countries it covers. The table above shows the country count for every plan, and the shares further up show how often the tricky ones are actually included.
Compare against the single country pagesThe cheapest plan for your main stop may beat the regional plan outright. Here single country plans are cheaper per GB, so check both before you pay.
Size it for the trip, not the weekThree weeks moving between countries usually needs 10 to 20 GB, mostly because maps and ride hailing run all day. Use the filters on this page to set a minimum size and length, then compare only what clears the bar.
Install before you flyScan the QR code on wifi at home. Installing needs a working connection, which is the one thing you will not have when you land.
Every destination covered by a South America plan
These 12 destinations are covered by at least one of the plans on this page. No single plan covers them all, so treat this as the list of places worth checking rather than a promise. Several of these plans also reach countries outside the region, which is worth knowing if your trip crosses into one. Each name links to its own price comparison.

The questions people actually ask before buying a multi country plan
What is the cheapest South America eSIM right now?
Ranked by real price per GB, the cheapest is Tourist eSIM at $31.15 for 20 GB over 30 Days, which works out to $1.56 per GB across 17 countries. Prices move, and the table on this page is re-ranked every time our catalogue refreshes.
How many countries does a South America eSIM cover?
It varies by plan, which is the single most important thing to check. Across the 941 plans we track, the widest is FlyEsim at 39 countries on one eSIM. Others cover far fewer. Always open the plan and read its country list before you pay.
Which is the best South America eSIM?
Best depends on the trip, so we rank rather than pick one name. On today's prices the best value is Tourist eSIM at $1.56 per GB, while the widest coverage is FlyEsim with 39 countries on one eSIM. For heavy daily use there are 538 unlimited plans with daily fair use caps. Every pick is the first row of a sort on live prices, and no provider can pay for it.
Is a South America eSIM cheaper than buying one eSIM per country?
On a normal trip size, which we take as 5 to 50 GB over at least 15 days, the cheapest South America regional plan works out at $1.56 per GB (Tourist eSIM, 20 GB for 30 Days at $31.15). The average of the cheapest single country plan at that same size, across the 13 countries we price here, is $1.37 per GB. Single country plans are the cheaper route here, so the regional plan is buying convenience rather than cheaper data. The countries at the cheap end of the region still undercut it, so check your main stop before you decide.
Do South America eSIM plans offer unlimited data?
538 of the 941 plans here are sold as unlimited. In practice almost all of them are fair use: full speed up to a daily allowance, then slower for the rest of the day. The daily allowances on these plans currently run from 0.5 GB to 10 GB. That is why unlimited plans carry no price per GB in our table: there is no per GB rate to compare.
Which South American countries are hardest to cover?
The big markets are easy: Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru and Colombia are on most plans. The smaller ones are not, and Venezuela, Paraguay, Guyana and Suriname are the ones worth checking against the plan list before you buy. The coverage table on this page shows the live share for the countries people ask about.
How long should the validity be for a South America trip?
Longer than you think. Overland travel here stretches itineraries, and replacing an expired plan mid trip costs more than buying 30 days at the start. The table lets you filter by length before you compare price.
Do regional plans work in Patagonia and the Amazon?
Where there is a network, yes, but coverage away from towns is limited in both, and no eSIM changes that. Download maps offline before you leave the last city.
Can I top up if I run out mid trip?
432 of the 941 plans here can be topped up, so you add data instead of buying a second eSIM. The rest need a fresh plan. Topping up is normally dearer per GB than sizing the plan correctly at the start.
How much data will I actually need?
Three weeks moving between countries usually needs 10 to 20 GB, mostly because maps and ride hailing run all day. Use the filters on this page to set a minimum size and compare only the plans that clear it.
Will I keep my own number and still get bank codes?
Yes, as long as you leave your home SIM active. These are data only eSIMs and your phone can run both at once. Keep the home line on for SMS and one time codes, switch its roaming data off, and use the eSIM for everything else.
Do these plans include calls or a phone number?
No. The plans we compare are data only, so there is no local number to give out. Calls work normally over WhatsApp, FaceTime or any app that runs on data. If you need a real local number, a local SIM is the right tool.
Compare another region
Every region we track, ranked by the cheapest real price per GB, sits on the regional and global eSIM hub. If your trip stays in one country, the country by country comparison will nearly always be cheaper.
