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!

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.
