How to Install and Activate Your eSIM

Follow these simple steps to get connected before your trip

1

Check Device Compatibility

Make sure your phone supports eSIM. Compatible devices include iPhone XR/XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, and Google Pixel 3 and newer. Your phone must also be carrier-unlocked - if you bought it on a contract, check with your carrier before you travel.
2

Purchase Your Plan

Browse eSIM plans by destination on aviaesim.com and pick the one that fits your trip. The moment payment clears, your QR code arrives by email and shows up in your account dashboard.
3

Scan the QR Code

On iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add Cellular Plan → Use QR Code. On Samsung: Settings → Connections → SIM Manager → Add eSIM. On Google Pixel: Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM. Point your camera at the QR code and follow the on-screen prompts.
4

Label and Configure Your Plan

Give your new eSIM a clear label like 'Travel Europe' or 'Thailand Trip'. Keep your physical SIM as the default line for calls and SMS, and set the new eSIM as the default for mobile data - your apps will use travel data while you're abroad.
5

Switch It On at Your Destination

Once you land, open your eSIM settings and turn on the eSIM line. Switch on Data Roaming if prompted. The eSIM connects to a local network automatically within a few minutes - no store visit, no SIM swap.

💡 Pro tip: install your eSIM on home Wi-Fi days before you fly. The plan only starts counting down once you first connect to a local network at your destination - so there's no rush to activate.

What Our Customers Say

Traveled through Colombia and Brazil for three weeks and the regional eSIM plan covered both countries on a single purchase. Connection quality in Bogotá and São Paulo was excellent. I was able to work remotely without any disruption, which was the most important thing for me.

Nikoloz Ch.

Tbilisi

First solo trip to Latin America - Argentina and Chile. Having a working eSIM from day one made everything so much less stressful. I could navigate, translate, and stay in touch with home from the moment I landed in Buenos Aires. Setup was easy and the price was very reasonable.

Keti A.

Tbilisi

Used aviaesim for Mexico and Costa Rica. The connection was 4G in all the cities I visited and even in some beach areas. Much cheaper than buying local SIM cards in two different countries and far more convenient. I recommended it to four friends who are all now using it as well.

One Latin America eSIM for Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Peru and beyond

A travel eSIM for Latin America keeps you online across 18 countries — from Mexico City to Buenos Aires, Cusco to Cartagena — on a single QR. Buying a local SIM in Latin America means navigating a Telcel, Claro, Vivo, Movistar or Personal kiosk in Spanish or Portuguese, often with a CPF (Brazil), CURP (Mexico), DNI (Argentina) or RUT (Chile) requirement that visitors don't have. Carrier roaming from the US is OK for Mexico ($10/day on T-Mobile) but ruinous in South America ($15/day, often capped at 512MB). A Latin America eSIM connects on the same Telcel, Claro, Vivo, Tigo, Movistar towers the locals use — instant activation, no document hassle, no Spanish-language SIM-shop confusion. Pick 5GB for a one-country city break, 10–15GB for a multi-country backpacker route, or unlimited for digital nomads in Medellín, CDMX or Florianópolis.

Latin America eSIM vs local SIM card vs carrier roaming

Three options across Mexico, Central and South America. Local SIMs are cheapest per country but require local ID; roaming is fast but expensive; a Latin America eSIM works in all 18 countries with zero paperwork.

More questions about Latin America eSIM

Which Latin American countries does the eSIM cover?

Most regional plans cover 18+ countries: Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil, plus the Caribbean (Dominican Republic, Cuba, Puerto Rico in some plans). Check the country list — Cuba and Venezuela have limited coverage on certain plans.

Best eSIM for South America specifically — Peru, Chile, Argentina, Brazil?

A South America eSIM covers the major Andes + Southern Cone destinations on one plan: Peru (Cusco, Lima, Machu Picchu), Bolivia (La Paz, Uyuni), Chile (Santiago, Atacama, Patagonia), Argentina (Buenos Aires, Mendoza, Iguazu), Brazil (Rio, São Paulo, Salvador). Useful for the classic gringo trail without re-buying SIMs.

Does the eSIM bypass the Brazil CPF requirement?

Yes — an eSIM activates without any Brazilian ID. Local prepaid Vivo and Claro SIMs in Brazil now require CPF (the local tax ID), which most foreign tourists don't have. The eSIM uses partner-network roaming, which doesn't go through the CPF system at all.

Is the eSIM OK for hotspot tethering on long bus rides?

Yes — most Latin America eSIM plans allow tethering at full 4G/5G speed. Unlimited plans cap at 3 GB/day fair-use before throttling to 1 Mbps. Great for the 24-hour Buenos Aires → Bariloche bus, Lima → Cusco overnight, or Salvador → Rio cama-leito.
