“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.”

“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!”

Argentina Travel eSIM FAQ

Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Argentina

How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Argentina, and how many prepaid data plans are there?

There are about 120 providers and more than 4, 100 prepaid data plans available in Argentina, giving travelers a wide variety of options to choose from. The extensive selection allows visitors to find a plan that matches their data usage and travel itinerary.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Argentina?

Unlimited data eSIM options exist for travelers heading to Argentina. Providers such as Firsty, abesteSIM, Yoho Mobile, Yesim, Truely, and Roamify offer plans with no data cap. Firsty’s one‑day plan comes at no cost but advertises a 256 kbps speed limit and may throttle speed. The other providers’ unlimited plans allow tethering, keep speeds capped at around 5 Mbps, and are all available on 5G networks. The plans’ prices range from free with Firsty up to $449.07 USD with Yoho Mobile, with most options falling between $8 USD and $160 USD. Travelers should consider their expected data usage and choose a plan that comfortably covers their internet needs.

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.
Personal: Part of Telecom Argentina, Personal delivers mobile services with a strong focus on data and digital offerings.

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?

Yes, travel eSIM providers GlobaleSIM, Roamify, and TravelKon offer plans that include a phone number and SMS capability for use while in Argentina. These plans use foreign dialing codes—either +1 (USA/Canada) or +33 (France)—so the number is not locally registered in Argentina. The plans allow inbound voice calls, and most also provide outbound voice. SMS is supported for all listed providers; Roamify and TravelKon offer inbound/outbound SMS, while GlobaleSIM plans provide inbound SMS only.

Prices vary from about $4 for a 1 GB plan with 7‑day validity to roughly $35 for a 20 GB plan with 30‑day validity, with data caps ranging from 1 GB to 20 GB. If a local Argentina‑number is essential, travellers can alternatively use a data‑only eSIM or VoIP apps such as WhatsApp or Telegram over the data connection.
