BetterRoaming eSIM Data Plans for South America

No. BetterRoaming does not provide an unlimited data eSIM plan for South America. Travelers can choose fixed data options such as the Regional LATAM 30 Days 20 GB plan for $80.99 USD or the Regional LATAM 30 Days 10 GB plan for $50.99 USD. These larger data packages may offer more value than buying several smaller plans for heavy data usage.

BetterRoaming does not offer eSIM plans with a phone number or SMS capability for South America. Only data‑only eSIMs are available. Travelers can still make and receive calls and send messages using VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage over the data connection.

<|channel|>analysis<|message|>The task:

The question: "What countries are covered by BetterRoaming's eSIM plans in South America?"

We need to provide an answer for the FAQ section of the eSIMDB site.

We have dataset in Markdown table format with 3 columns: Plan Name, Country covered in South America, Other Regions covered.

We need to use the dataset to answer the question.

We must produce a single paragraph, no bullet points, no title, using objective, third-party perspective. Avoid repeating or referring back to the question (e.g., "You're asking about").

Constraints:

• Only include countries in the approved list: Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Paraguay, Panama, Uruguay, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Bolivia, French Guiana, Suriname, Guyana, Venezuela, Belize, Falkland Islands.

We need to list the countries in the region (South America) that are covered by the plans.

We have two plans:

Plan Name: "Regional LATAM - -" South American coverage: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Peru, Uruguay

Plan Name: "Global - -" South American coverage: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, French Guiana, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay

Plan names are "Regional LATAM - -" and "Global - -". The latter covers all of those we see plus some others: Bolivia, French Guiana, Suriname, Panama, etc., many from the approved list. We need to identify and group the plan name entries if available, then address any plans that include countries or territories outside of the region mentioned in the Question. But we only refer to the plan name and its coverage area. Do not include other details.

But the question only references "South America". But we also have "Other Regions covered" data. However, we need not mention other region coverage; only mention plan names and coverage area, no details like data allowance. If there are plans that include countries outside region, we might mention them. But the requirement says: "If available, identify and group the 'Plan Name' entries, then address any plans that include countries or territories outside of the region mentioned in the Question. (But only refer to the plan name and its coverage area. Do not include any other details such as data allowance. Do not include specific country names outside of the region mentioned in the Question.)"

So we might include a mention that the "Global - -" plan includes coverage in other regions as indicated (then list maybe some continent names? Or maybe mention that it covers many other regions; but do not mention specific countries outside South America). The instruction says "Do not include any other details such as data allowance." It doesn't say we can't mention the coverage area of that plan. But it says we only refer to the plan name and its coverage area. For the global plan we might refer to its coverage area as "Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, French Guiana, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay" (but that coverage area is basically the list of countries covered in South America; we don't need to mention beyond that). Also we might note that the global plan covers other regions (but not specify which). But we may avoid mention of "other regions" as it's likely extraneous.

But requirement: "Only include countries from this approved list: [list]" So for each plan we must only list countries that are in the approved list. The approved list includes the countries above.

Now which countries are in the dataset's South American coverage lists per plan and which match the approved list? Let's enumerate.

Regional LATAM: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Peru, Uruguay.

All these are in the approved list; yes all but maybe Costa Rica is in the approved list? Yes, Costa Rica is listed in the approved list. (Check list: Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Paraguay, Panama, Uruguay, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Bolivia, French Guiana, Suriname, Guyana, Venezuela, Belize, Falkland Islands). So the 9 countries listed for Regional LATAM are all in the approved list.

Now Global: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, French Guiana, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay.

All these are in the approved list: confirm each:

• Argentina: yes
• Bolivia: yes
• Brazil: yes
• Chile: yes
• Colombia: yes
• Costa Rica: yes
• Ecuador: yes
• El Salvador: yes
• French Guiana: yes
• Guatemala: yes
• Honduras: yes
• Nicaragua: yes
• Panama: yes
• Paraguay: yes
• Peru: yes
• Suriname: yes
• Uruguay: yes

So all 17 countries in the global list are in the approved list. There is no mention of others such as Guyana, Venezuela, Belize, or Falkland Islands, but that's okay.

Now the question: "What countries are covered by BetterRoaming's eSIM plans in South America?"

We might answer: "The BetterRoaming eSIM plans cover Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Peru, Uruguay, Bolivia, French Guiana, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Suriname." We need to include all the countries that are covered across all plans in South America. Should we deliver in a single paragraph, list countries separated by commas.

Should we mention groupings for plan names? The guidelines: "If available, identify and group the 'Plan Name' entries, then address any plans that include countries or territories outside of the region mentioned in the Question. (But only refer to the plan name and its coverage area. Do not include any other details such as data allowance. Do not include specific country names outside of the region mentioned in the Question.)"

Simplify: We can mention that the "Regional LATAM" plan covers Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Peru, and Uruguay. The "Global" plan covers Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, French Guiana, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay. We need to include all of these countries in the answer. We could aggregate but with mention of each plan.

We should use third-person neutral voice. Possibly mention the two plan names and list the coverage.

We should be careful not to mention "BetterRoaming" narratively. We can say "BetterRoaming offers two eSIM plans, the Regional LATAM plan and the Global plan; the Regional LATAM plan includes coverage of the following countries: ... The Global plan expands coverage to include ...".

We should avoid marketing tone. Use neutral, descriptive language.

Also the problem says: The answer must clearly list the countries in the region (specified in the question) that are covered by the plans. And we must adopt an objective, third-party perspective.

Also we should not use dashes or bullet lists. So we need to write as a sentence or paragraph, no bullet points.

We need to include all the countries across the two plans. It's okay to include duplicates but that would be redundant. We can either include each unique country once. But the guidelines mention "If available, identify and group the 'Plan Name' entries, then address any plans that include countries or territories outside of the region mentioned in the Question." "Then address any plans that include countries or territories outside of the region mentioned in the Question". The question is "What countries are covered by BetterRoaming's eSIM plans in South America?" That implies we only need to talk about coverage in South America. But we might mention that the Global plan also covers other regions but refrain from naming those. But we might mention that the Global plan covers many other regions, but not list them. So it might be enough to mention the countries covered in South America and group them under plan names. But the requirement says: "Only include countries from this approved list: ..."

We also must not refer to the question itself. But that's fine.

Now prepare the answer: we can say something like:

"BetterRoaming offers a Regional LATAM eSIM plan that gives coverage to Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Peru and Uruguay. Its Global plan extends South‑American coverage to include Bolivia, French Guiana, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay and Suriname, in addition to the countries listed for the Regional LATAM plan. The Global plan also covers many other regions, though those are not listed in this answer."

But need to keep neutral. Also we cannot mention that the Global plan covers other regions; but requirement says we may address any plans that include countries or territories outside of the region mentioned in the Question. But only refer to plan name and its coverage area, no other details. So we can add a sentence: "The Global plan also includes additional regions beyond South America." But we could phrase: "The Global plan covers a broader geographic area, extending beyond South America." That's maybe safe.

But maybe we should include only the list of covered countries. We can note that the Regional LATAM plan covers these 9 countries; the Global plan covers these 17 countries; we can separate the lists but still in a single paragraph.

The instruction says "Write the answer in a single paragraph, and avoid bullet points." So we need one paragraph. That paragraph can have headings like "Regional LATAM" then colon and list. But we must not use headings? Not prohibited to use headings but we might use descriptive words like "The Regional LATAM plan covers Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Peru and Uruguay. The Global plan expands south‑American coverage to include Bolivia, French Guiana, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay and Suriname, in addition to the Regional LATAM list." Then maybe mention "The Global plan also spans other regions." That is a single paragraph. That should satisfy.

Also we must ensure no dashes (—). We can use hyphens if needed, but we can avoid them. Dashes may be problematic. The dataset has hyphens and dashes e.g. "Regional LATAM - -". But we don't need to copy that. We can just mention "Regional LATAM" as the plan name. Should we use quotes? Probably not. We just state "Regional LATAM". No trailing dashes or hyphens.

Now let's double-check: we should not mention "Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, etc." Let's list them all. We must ensure not to mention any other countries outside the approved list; though we have only those. Let's list all unique countries in a list: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Peru, Uruguay, Bolivia, French Guiana, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Suriname. That is 17 unique countries. We already have 17.

We should double-check the approved list includes all: Yes.

Now we must check: The question: "What countries are covered by BetterRoaming's eSIM plans in South America?" We need to answer that. It's not about detailed data allowances, only about coverage. So we can mention the plan names and the countries covered.

One nuance: The Global plan covers the same 9 countries plus additional ones. So the coverage across all plans is the union of sets, which is 17 countries. We might list each plan's coverage separately.

Now check for any pitfalls. Must not use a dash (—). The dataset uses dashes like "Regional LATAM - -". That might be considered a dash. But we don't want to copy that. But we might use the dash in a sentence. We need to avoid the long dash symbol; we might use a hyphen (-) if needed? But not "—". The guidelines say "Do not use dashes (—) in the answer. Instead, use commas, parentheses, and other standard punctuation." So we can use hyphen to separate words like "eSIM plan", but that is fine. But "—" is specifically the em dash. So don't include that. But we may use hyphen when connecting words like "Regional LATAM" is okay. "Regional LATAM" is a name, no hyphen. We just mention "Regional LATAM" exactly.

We also need to avoid any phrases that repeat or refer back to the question. But we can mention "Regional LATAM plan" etc. We can also mention "global plan" but careful with phrase "Your question" no.

Alright. Let's produce the answer.

Answer should be a single paragraph:

"The Regional LATAM eSIM plan from BetterRoaming includes coverage in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Peru and Uruguay, while the Global plan expands south‑American coverage to cover Bolivia, French Guiana, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay and Suriname in addition to the same nine countries from the Regional LATAM plan; the Global plan also reaches many other regions beyond South America."

But we must be careful: we mention "the Regional LATAM eSIM plan" and "the Global plan". This satisfies the instruction to identify and group plan names. The instruction: "If available, identify and group the 'Plan Name' entries, then address any plans that include countries or territories outside of the region mentioned in the Question." So we must mention that "Global plan also includes other regions". That is allowed. But we can't mention specific countries outside the region. We can mention it generally.

Now compliance:

• The answer must be a single paragraph.
• Avoid bullet points.
• Use objective language. "provides coverage" etc.
• Must not reference "You're asked" etc.

Let's create final answer.

Let's also check if the phrase "the Global plan also reaches many other regions beyond South America" is acceptable. We refer to "other regions" but not specific countries. This is allowed.

Now final answer text:

"BetterRoaming’s Regional LATAM eSIM plan covers Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Peru, and Uruguay, while the Global plan extends coverage to include Bolivia, French Guiana, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, and Suriname in addition to those in the Regional LATAM plan; the Global plan also spans many other regions beyond South America."

You could avoid "plan also spans" use "some" etc. But it's fine.

We must confirm we haven't used an em dash. We did not. We used hyphen only where "Bengal" is not needed. We used a hyphen in "South America" but that's fine.

Check for usage of "eSIM plan", "Regional LATAM eSIM plan". All good.

Double-check avoided duplication: we listed each country exactly once. We must check we haven't inadvertently repeated any. We had two lists. Combined we listed all countries but we might not want to list "Argentina" etc twice. It's okay because we separate by "while the Global plan extends coverage to include Bolivia..." It includes "in addition to those in the Regional LATAM plan". So we implicitly mention the regional 9 countries but don't need to list again. But we might list them anyway. We can do it like: "BetterRoaming’s Regional LATAM eSIM plan covers Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Peru, and Uruguay, while the Global plan extends coverage to include Bolivia, French Guiana, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, and Suriname in addition to those in the Regional LATAM plan; the Global plan also spans many other regions beyond South America."

Now let's double-check that we haven't added disallowed content. We mention "Regional LATAM eSIM plan" with hyphen? Actually "Regional LATAM eSIM plan" does not require a hyphen. It is "Regional LATAM" as name. It's okay.

We mention "South America" (two words). It's fine. No dashes.

Also check that we didn't use "–" dash. We used "and" in lists, so no dashes. We used "→" no. We used hyphen in maybe "South America" but "South America" is two words.

We used "El Salvador" with a space. That's fine.

We used "French Guiana" with a space. It's fine.

Now checking second requirement: "only include countries from this approved list". The countries we've included are all in the approved list. Good.

Now third: "If available, identify and group the 'Plan Name' entries" We did: "Regional LATAM eSIM plan" and "Global plan".

We addressed any plans that include countries or territories outside the region mentioned: our Global plan includes other regions. We referenced that generically. No specifics.

Now avoid any phrases that repeat or refer back to the question. We didn't include such. We didn't say "What countries are ...".

Now no title in answer. Good.

We don't have bullet points. Good.

We have a single paragraph. Yes.

We used objective language. Yes.

We didn't use em dashes. Yes.

Alright final answer ready.

But to be thorough, let's rewrite a final version:

"BetterRoaming’s Regional LATAM eSIM plan covers Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Peru, and Uruguay, while the Global plan extends coverage to include Bolivia, French Guiana, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, and Suriname in addition to those in the Regional LATAM plan; the Global plan also reaches many other regions beyond South America."

Double-check: "the Global plan also reaches many other regions beyond South America." That's fine.

Now final answer.<|end|><|start|>assistant<|channel|>final<|message|>BetterRoaming’s Regional LATAM eSIM plan covers Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Peru, and Uruguay, while the Global plan extends coverage to include Bolivia, French Guiana, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, and Suriname in addition to those in the Regional LATAM plan; the Global plan also reaches many other regions beyond South America.
