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!

Frequently Asked Questions

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

There are over 120 travel eSIM providers and more than 4, 000 prepaid data plans available for Argentina, offering a wide variety of options for travelers to find an eSIM that suits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Argentina?

Yes, several eSIM providers offer unlimited data plans for Argentina. Providers such as Firsty, abesteSIM, Yoho Mobile, Yesim, Truely, and Roamify all list unlimited data options. Most of these plans allow tethering and are delivered over 5G, but they generally include speed limits or throttling—Firsty limits speeds to 256 kbps and may display ads, while the other providers cap speeds at roughly 5 Mbps and may throttle bandwidth after certain usage thresholds. Prices for unlimited plans vary widely, ranging from free with ads (Firsty) to as high as about $449 USD for the longest‑validity option (Yoho Mobile). Travelers can choose a plan that fits their budget and required coverage, keeping in mind any speed restrictions that may apply.

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 include a phone number and SMS support for stays in Argentina are offered by Roamify and Earth Esim. Roamify’s Global Premium eSIMs use the dialing code +1 and provide inbound and outbound voice and SMS, giving callers a number that functions like a local Argentine number for all call and text traffic. Earth Esim’s Orange Global eSIM uses the dialing code +33, so while it also offers inbound and outbound voice and SMS, the number is not local to Argentina and will carry a foreign prefix.

The available options range from 1 GB data for 7 days priced around $15, up to 20 GB data for 365 days with a price near $105. Validity periods vary from a week to more than a year, allowing travelers to choose a plan that matches the length of their visit.
