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.
Currently, over 90 travel eSIM brands offer service in Ecuador, with a substantial selection of over 2500 prepaid data plans available. This wide variety of options makes it easy for travelers to find an eSIM that suits their specific data needs and budget while visiting the country.
Several providers offer unlimited data eSIM plans for Ecuador, including Firsty, Truely, abesteSIM, Yoho Mobile, MicroEsim, Roamify, and Yesim. These plans generally range in price from approximately $0.00 to $277.48 USD depending on validity and provider. It’s important to note that most of these unlimited plans may experience speed throttling or have speed limits, such as 256kbps with Firsty or 5Mbps with abesteSIM and Yoho Mobile, which could affect data intensive activities.
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.
