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

In Chile, the primary Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) providing mobile services are:

Entel: The largest mobile operator in Chile, offering extensive nationwide coverage and a wide range of services.
Movistar Chile: A major operator owned by Telefónica, providing comprehensive mobile services across the country.
Claro Chile: Part of the América Móvil group, offering a variety of mobile services with a focus on urban areas.
WOM: Owned by Novator Partners, offering competitive mobile services and expanding its market presence.

In addition to these MNOs, Chile has several Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) that lease access from major carriers to offer mobile services. Notable local MVNOs include VTR Móvil, which uses Movistar’s network and specializes in low-cost prepaid plans, and Virgin Mobile, a subsidiary of Entel focusing on youth and student-oriented plans. It's important to note that most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of MNOs rather than MVNOs.

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

Travel eSIM plans that provide a phone number and SMS are available for Chile. The providers that offer these plans are GlobaleSIM and Roamify. Their telephony features include inbound and outbound voice calls and inbound SMS on all plans; Roamify adds outbound SMS on its packages. The dialing codes used are +1 (United States/Canada) on most GlobaleSIM and Roamify plans and +33 (France) on a few Roamify Chile‑specific bundles, so none of the options provide a local Chile +56 number. Prices for these plans start around $5.50 and rise to about $105 for a 365‑day package, with validity periods ranging from 7 to 365 days.

Because the numbers are foreign, travelers will see the +1 or +33 code when calling or texting from Chile. The eSIMs also offer data‑only connectivity, so travelers can use VoIP or messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection for local communication if they prefer not to use the foreign phone number.
