Networks the eSIM connects to in Uruguay
Once activated, the eSIM automatically connects to the strongest local partner network — no manual setup:

Along the coast and the capital
Most of your trip — Montevideo, the beach towns and historic Colonia del Sacramento — sits along Uruguay's coast, where your eSIM connects for maps, ride apps and messaging. Inland on the open ranch country coverage can thin, so save the routes you'll need before setting off.
Set up before you fly
Add the eSIM at home while your wifi is steady. Scan the QR code from your email and the plan waits on your phone until it connects in Uruguay. Doing it early means you land ready to catch a bus or taxi into town, without searching for a shop or a signal.
Keep your number and WhatsApp
Your usual SIM stays active alongside the travel plan, so your home number still receives calls and texts, and WhatsApp works just as it does now — useful across a region where it's widely used. The eSIM carries only your data, which you can monitor and switch off anytime.
FAQ
Can I use one eSIM around Uruguay?
Yes. A single Uruguay plan covers your whole trip, whether you're in Montevideo, along the coast at Punta del Este or over in Colonia. The same eSIM stays with you throughout, with nothing extra to buy as you move between towns.
When does the plan start?
When your phone first connects to a network in Uruguay, not when you buy it. That means you can install the eSIM before you leave home and still get the full length of your plan from the day you arrive.
Will my phone support an eSIM?
Most recent, unlocked phones support eSIM. Check that it appears in your settings and that your handset isn't locked to a single carrier at home, and you'll be set to add the Uruguay plan in a few minutes.
