If you buy eSIM with option "activate immediately" everything works fine so far.

ATTENTION: There is also an option for future activation for a specific date
-> eSIM activation in Brazil almost impossible, worked after trying for several hours
-> eSIM has been suspended after six days without any reason (just 6 of 20 GB consumed)
-> Support was unresponsive. No answer to several messages
-> Therefore my WhatsApp account has been reported and temporarily blocked!!!

Product: "Brasil LOCAL 20GB/30d"

Not good, most of the time I could not use it. There was a signal, and people with physical SIMS on the same network had no problems.

I didn’t get a confirmation email, from the QR in the confirmation page I could not install it, because it said this QR had been used already, and when checking the code they also mention there it was showing data for a booking completely different than mine. When contacting costumer service they didn’t bother to answer and i just had the option to report them to PayPal, good thing I didn’t give them my credit card details, who knows what would have happened in that situation

I bought a top up which vanished immediately, and they refused to credit or refund. I’d avoid this provider.

Not good. When data does work, everything loads slowly but a lot of the time it doesn’t work. The coverage is terrible and j was Constantly losing data signal. I was in Salvador/Bahia and Rio. You would think coverage would be better in Rio but it was worse. It left me stranded and disrupted my whole day. Do not recommend! Also bought a voice plan and the number the gave me never worked and I couldn’t make any calls. Tried to contact them but had no response. Don’t waste your money. Avoid!

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Over 110 travel eSIM providers and more than 3, 600 prepaid data plans are available for use in Brazil. Because there is a wide variety of options, travelers can easily find an eSIM that matches their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Brazil?

There are several unlimited‑data eSIM plans that cover Brazil. Providers such as Firsty, Truely, abesteSIM, MicroEsim, Yesim, Yoho Mobile, Roamify, FairPlay and Airhub offer unlimited data for stays ranging from a single day up to a month. Most of these offers indicate that the bandwidth may be throttled, with some specifying concrete limits – for example Firsty caps speed at 256 kbps, abesteSIM and Yoho Mobile limit it to 5 Mbps, while the others simply note potential throttling. Prices start at zero dollars with Firsty and climb to roughly $450 for certain longer‑term options, so available unlimited plans typically fall between about $0 and $450, with many mid‑tier choices landing in the $6 to $200 range.

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

In Brazil, the primary Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) are:

Vivo: Operated by Telefônica, Vivo is the largest mobile network in Brazil, offering extensive coverage and a wide range of services.
Claro: A subsidiary of América Móvil, Claro provides comprehensive mobile services across the country, including advanced data and voice solutions.
TIM: Controlled by Telecom Italia, TIM delivers nationwide mobile services with a focus on innovation and customer experience.
Algar Telecom: Serving specific regions, Algar Telecom offers mobile services primarily in parts of Goiás, Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso do Sul, and São Paulo states.

In addition to these MNOs, Brazil hosts several Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs), such as Datora and Surf. MVNOs provide mobile services by leasing access from major carriers rather than owning the infrastructure themselves. It's important to note that most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of MNOs, not MVNOs.

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

Travel eSIMs that include a phone number and SMS capability are available for Brazil. GlobaleSIM offers a range of plans from 1GB to 20GB with validity periods of 7‑30 days; the plans provide an inbound and outbound voice line and inbound SMS, and the phone number uses the dialing code +1, which the dataset treats as a local Brazil number. Roamify supplies several global premium and South America eSIM plans; depending on the specific plan the dialing code is either +1 (local to Brazil in the dataset) or +33 (a foreign code), and the plans include inbound and outbound voice as well as inbound or inbound‑and‑outbound SMS. Prices begin around $4.50 USD for the smallest plan and can extend to $105 USD for longer‑term coverage.

Because the GlobaleSIM plans use the dialing code +1, they are considered local phone numbers for Brazil per the dataset’s convention, which means local callers can reach the number and SMS can be received. Roamify plans that use +33 provide a foreign phone number; the number can still make and receive calls within Brazil and send and receive SMS, but it is not a local Brazil number. Both providers allow the eSIM to be used in Brazil with 4G or 5G connectivity.
