Skratch eSIM Data Plans for South America

Skratch’s plans that carry the “Unlimited” name are not truly unlimited. Each of those plans provides only 2GB of high‑speed data per day; once the daily limit is reached the speed is reduced to 1 000 kbps. The plans are available for 3, 7, 10, 15, 20 and 30 days. If a traveler needs more data without any daily restriction, Skratch offers fixed‑data options in South America, such as a 20 GB 30‑day plan for $89.99 USD, a 10 GB 30‑day plan for $58.99 USD or a 5 GB 30‑day plan for $38.99 USD. These fixed‑data plans may be a more cost‑effective choice for heavy data users.

Skratch does not offer any eSIM plan that includes a phone number or SMS capability for South America. The provider’s South America offerings are limited to data‑only plans, so travelers will not receive a local phone number or the ability to send or receive standard text messages.

If a traveler needs to communicate while abroad, using VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage over the data connection is generally possible. However, some destinations may restrict or block certain VoIP services, so it is advisable to confirm that the apps required for communication are accessible in the specific South American country before purchasing an eSIM.

Skratch’s South America 7d plan covers a broad selection of countries in the region, including Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Paraguay, and Uruguay, as well as several Central American states such as Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, and El Salvador. The same plan also extends coverage beyond South America to territories like Saint Barthélemy, Guadeloupe, Saint Martin, Martinique, and Puerto Rico, though these are outside the South American area in question.
