“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!”

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?

Travel eSIM plans that provide a phone number and SMS capability for Argentina are available from several providers. The lowest‑priced options start at about $4 USD for a 1 GB plan that is valid for 7 days, while larger data packages can last up to 180 days and cost up to $105 USD.

The providers that offer these plans include GlobaleSIM, ESIM.DOG, Airhub, Orange Travel, RedEx eSIM, and Roamify. All of them give a phone number that can send and receive SMS. The dialing code of that number is matched to the local Argentina code (+54) only for Airhub and RedEx eSIM; the other providers issue numbers with foreign dialing codes such as +1, +33, and +48, so the number is not locally Argentine.
