Share with your laptop
Hotspot is allowed on the plan selected above, so a second device can use the same data in a cafe or a hotel room.

Argentina travel data guide
A Argentina eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Argentina that you install before you fly. Plans in Argentina run on Movistar, Personal and Claro, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 13 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 10 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $3.99. Unlimited plans are listed too, each with its own fair use line. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on some of the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Visiting more than one country? The Latin America eSIM covers Argentina and 19 other countries on one plan, from $12.99. The Caribbean eSIM covers Argentina and 24 other countries on one plan, from $6.99. The Global eSIM covers Argentina and 126 other countries on one plan, from $18.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Argentina, not when you buy, so you can install it at home days early. For a week of maps, messaging and social apps, most travellers are fine with 3 to 5 GB. Video calls or streaming need more, or an unlimited plan. Travel data in Argentina from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Argentina FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Argentina?
It connects wherever Movistar, Personal and Claro have signal, which is the same network local customers use. The eSIM is data only.
When do my days start?
On the first connection in Argentina, not at purchase. The plan selected above (2 GB) runs for 15 days from that moment. You can install the eSIM at home and the clock stays still until you connect.
Do I get a local phone number in Argentina?
No. The eSIM is data only. Your own SIM stays in for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working over the eSIM data.
Can I share data with my laptop?
Yes. Hotspot sharing is supported on the plan selected above, so your laptop or tablet can use the eSIM data through your phone.
Is 10 GB enough for a month in Argentina?
10 GB for 30 days is enough for most travellers in Argentina who use maps, messaging and social apps daily and save video for WiFi. If you stream or upload video on mobile data, the 30 day unlimited plan is the safer choice, with full speed up to 3 GB per day.
Is it 4G or 5G in Argentina?
Both appear on this page. Movistar is listed at 4G and Personal at 5G, and each Argentina plan is sold as either 3G/4G or 4G/5G. Check the plan card before you pay, and remember your phone has to support 5G to use it.
Should I buy the Argentina plan or the Latin America plan?
Buy the Argentina plan if you are staying inside the country for the whole trip. Choose the Latin America plan if you will cross into Chile, Brazil or Uruguay, because the single country eSIM stops at the border.
Should I install the eSIM before I fly to Argentina?
Yes, install it at home over WiFi before you fly to Argentina. The days do not begin until the eSIM first connects to a network there, so early installation costs nothing. It also means you have data as soon as you switch the line on.
Can I keep my home SIM active at the same time?
Yes, your home SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls, texts and WhatsApp. Set the eSIM as the line for mobile data while you are in Argentina. Turn data roaming off on the home SIM so it cannot use data abroad.
Can I top up my Argentina eSIM?
Only on some plans. Top up is offered on part of the Argentina list, and the plan card tells you if yours is one of them. If it is not, you buy another plan when the first one runs out and install that.
Why did my unlimited plan slow down?
An unlimited plan in Argentina slows to a maximum of 1 Mbps after you use 3 GB at full speed in one day. It returns to full speed the next day. Heavy video or hotspot use is the usual reason people reach that amount.
How do I top up if I run low?
The plan selected above does not offer top ups. Buy a new plan from this page instead and install it as a second eSIM.
