Extremely dissatisfied with the GlobaleSim experience in Ecuador.
Not a single place with 4G coverage and 3G was so slow it was barely usable. Next time, I'll choose another provider.
There are over 90 travel eSIM providers and more than 2700 prepaid data plans available for Ecuador, giving travelers a wide variety of options to find an eSIM that suits their needs.
Yes, several providers offer unlimited data eSIM plans for Ecuador. Firsty offers a 1‑day unlimited plan that is free but runs ads and limits speed to 256 kbps, while Truely, abesteSIM, Yoho Mobile, MicroEsim, Roamify, and Yesim provide unlimited data for validity periods of 1 to 30 days. Most of these plans allow tethering, but the speed may be throttled and some specify a limit of 5 Mbps; overall the price range for unlimited plans spans from $0.00 to $277.48 USD, giving travelers options to match their data needs and budget.
Claro Ecuador: A subsidiary of América Móvil, Claro is the largest mobile operator in Ecuador, offering extensive coverage and a variety of services, including mobile voice and data, fixed-line services, and broadband internet.
Movistar Ecuador: Part of the Telefónica Group, Movistar provides mobile voice and data services, broadband internet, and fixed-line services, with a focus on expanding network infrastructure to enhance coverage and data speeds.
CNT (Corporación Nacional de Telecomunicaciones): A state-owned telecommunications company, CNT offers mobile voice and data services, as well as fixed-line and broadband services, playing a significant role in expanding telecommunications infrastructure across the country.
In addition to these major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), Ecuador has Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) that offer mobile services by leasing access from major carriers. For example, Tuenti operates as an MVNO using Movistar's network to provide services. However, most travel eSIMs rely on MNO infrastructure, not MVNOs.
