South America eSIM FAQ
Which countries does the South America eSIM cover?
South America plans cover up to 20 countries, including Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador and El Salvador. Coverage differs between plans, so tap “See list” on a plan to check every country before you buy.
Does the South America eSIM include a phone number?
No. Every BlingSIM South America plan is data-only: there is no local phone number and no regular calls or SMS. Your home SIM can stay in your phone for calls and texts (your carrier's roaming rates apply to those), while WhatsApp, iMessage and FaceTime keep working over the eSIM's data with your usual number.
When does the South America eSIM validity start?
The validity period usually starts when the eSIM first connects to a supported network in one of the covered countries, not when you buy it. You can install it before you travel and switch it on when you arrive — check each plan's details before you buy.
Can I use the South America eSIM as a hotspot?
Hotspot (tethering) support depends on the plan and the local network, so check each plan's details or ask our support team before you buy. If you want to share data with a laptop, choose a larger data pack — tethering uses data quickly.
How much data do I need for South America?
As a rough guide: maps, messaging and browsing use about 0.5 GB a day; add social media and photo uploads and it is closer to 1 GB a day; video calls, streaming or a laptop hotspot can use 2 GB a day or more. That works out to roughly 3–7 GB for 7 days, 7–15 GB for 14 days and 15–30 GB for 30 days.
Will the South America eSIM work on my phone?
It works on carrier-unlocked phones that support eSIM, including iPhone XS/XR and newer, Google Pixel 4 and newer, and most recent Samsung Galaxy models. Check the list of eSIM compatible phones, then follow our eSIM installation guide to set it up in a few minutes.
