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.
Over 90 travel eSIM providers and more than 2600 prepaid data plans are available for Ecuador. With thousands of options, travelers can easily find an eSIM that fits their needs.
Yes, there are unlimited data eSIM plans for Ecuador from several providers. These plans, which are valid from one day up to thirty days, are offered at prices ranging from free to about $277.48 USD. Most unlimited options come with the possibility of speed throttling; for example, Firsty limits speed to 256 kbps, whereas abesteSIM and Yoho Mobile cap speed at 5 Mbps. Other providers do not specify a fixed speed cap but indicate that speeds may be throttled. Travelers can review these details and the network coverage offered by each provider to choose a plan that meets 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.
