Giga.Tel eSIM Data Plans for Ecuador

Giga.Tel does not offer a truly unlimited high‑speed data plan for travelers in Ecuador. All plans that include “Unlimited” in the name actually provide a 1 GB/day cap and switch to a reduced speed of 512 kbps once that limit is reached, which is not the same as having unlimited data. Travelers who need more data without the speed reduction can choose from Giga.Tel’s fixed‑data options, such as the 50 GB plan for 30 days or the 30 GB plan valid for 15 days or 30 days, which offer larger data allowances and maintain full 4G speeds throughout the validity period. Choosing a fixed data plan may be more cost‑effective for users who consume a significant amount of data during their stay.

Giga.Tel does not provide an eSIM for Ecuador that includes a local phone number or the ability to send or receive SMS. The plans sold by Giga.Tel for Ecuador are data‑only, which means they offer internet access without voice or text messaging services. Travelers can still use popular VoIP and messaging applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection for calls and messages.

Giga.Tel offers six single‑country plans that include coverage in Ecuador and forty multi‑country plans that also cover the country. The provider’s catalogue contains both daily‑capped and fixed‑data options – daily caps are limited to a predetermined amount each day, while fixed‑data plans give a single data allocation for the duration of validity. Across the entire range, prices vary from roughly $5.50 for the smallest daily bundles to nearly $196 for the longest, high‑cap international packages, and data caps span from 500 MB up to 50 GB.
