“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!”

The cheapest unlimited options start around $5.00 USD and the most expensive can reach almost $230 USD for up to 80 days of validity.

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 eSIMs that include a phone number and SMS service are available for Argentina. The providers that offer such plans include GlobaleSIM, ESIM.DOG, JamboSim, Roamify, RedEx eSIM, Airhub, and other vendors. Most of these plans use the telephone dialing code +1, which means the number is not locally Argentina‑based; only Airhub’s plans feature a local +54 number. Every plan offers inbound and outbound voice calls, and SMS is available either inbound only or both inbound and outbound, depending on the specific package. Data capacities range from 1 GB to 20 GB, while validity periods vary between 7 days and 365 days; prices begin around $4 USD and can exceed $100 USD for longer‑term, higher‑data options. Many packages also support 5G connectivity and allow tethering where specified.
