Works, but slow. Seems to only work on the Movistar network.

In Buenos Aires, I got OK 4g service. But everywhere else, including Mar del Plata and around, it degraded to intermittent 3g service, often showing a signal, but unable to send and receive data of any kind. In a country that depends on QR code payments etc., this was a letdown.

Pick a different eSim if you're going to be in Argentina.

Choppy coverage, sometimes too slow to use. Left me stranded without possibility of calling an Uber.

Horrible experience. Would like to give zero stars. Bought 2 sims for 20 EUR and neither works. Support team made me spend 3+ hours doing manual tweaks to end up saying it's a coverage issue and won't refund me. I've tested 10+ esims in many countries and this is the worst. AVOID at all costs!

My friend recommended Esimzon and now I get why. Their support team literally helped me at midnight when my phone didn’t pick the network. They refreshed the eSIM from their side and it started working immediately.
Great service!

The pricing for unlimited data ranges from a free option offered by Firsty to premium packages that cost up to roughly $449.07 USD, so travelers can choose a rate that fits their budget while still having unlimited connectivity.

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Argentina?

In Argentina, the primary Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) providing mobile services are:

Claro: Operated by América Móvil, Claro offers comprehensive mobile services, including voice, data, and messaging, with extensive nationwide coverage.
Movistar: A subsidiary of Telefónica, Movistar provides a wide range of mobile services and has a significant presence across the country.

Additionally, Argentina hosts several Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs), such as Tuenti and Nuestro. MVNOs offer mobile services by leasing access from major carriers, providing alternative options to consumers. However, most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of the primary MNOs rather than MVNOs.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Argentina?

Travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS are available for Argentina. Providers such as GlobaleSIM and Roamify offer these plans, which provide a phone number with voice and SMS capability. The numbers use foreign dialing codes, most commonly +1 from the United States and Canada and some with +33 from France, rather than the local Argentine code +54.

The plans range from 1GB to 20GB of data, with validity periods from 7 days up to 365 days, and prices from $4.00 USD to $105.00 USD. Most of the options include inbound and outbound voice calls and inbound, or inbound plus outbound, SMS, allowing travelers to receive and send calls and text messages while in Argentina.
