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.

Latin America travel data guide
A Latin America eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for travel across 20 countries that you install before you fly. Plans run on partner networks in 20 countries, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 21 plans to choose from across 20 countries. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 20 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $12.99. Unlimited plans are listed too, each with its own fair use line. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in the countries covered, 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 across the countries covered from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Latin America FAQ
Does the eSIM work in every country covered?
It works in each of the countries listed, 20 in all. In each one it connects wherever the partner networks have signal, which are the same networks local customers use. The eSIM is data only.
When do my days start?
On the first connection in the countries covered, not at purchase. The plan selected above (2 GB) runs for 1 day 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?
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.
Does the Latin America eSIM work in Mexico?
No. Mexico is not one of the 20 countries and territories on the Latin America plan. For a route that includes Mexico, use the Global plan, which lists it, or add a separate Mexico plan next to the regional one.
How many countries does the Latin America plan cover?
The Latin America plan covers 20 countries and territories, including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru and Costa Rica. The full list is in the guide above. The eSIM does not work in a country that is not on it.
Is 20 GB enough for a month across Latin America?
For most backpackers, yes. 20 GB over 30 days in Latin America allows daily maps, messaging, bookings and regular video calls. If it runs short, every plan here supports top up, so you can add data without installing a new eSIM.
Do I need to reinstall the eSIM at each border in Latin America?
No. You install the Latin America eSIM once. When you enter another listed country, the phone connects to a local network there. Keep data roaming switched on for the eSIM line so it can do that.
When do the days on the Latin America plan start?
They start when the eSIM first connects to a network in any of the listed countries. Buying and installing in advance does not use any days, so you can set it up at home before the trip.
Can I top up the Latin America eSIM while travelling?
Yes. Top up is supported on all Latin America plans. You need an internet connection to buy it, so do it on WiFi or before your current data is completely gone.
Which network will I be on in each country?
It varies by country, and we do not list a single operator for the Latin America plan. Plans are labelled 3G/4G, 3G/4G/5G or 4G/5G. The phone picks up a local network automatically after you cross a border.
How do I top up if I run low?
Open My eSIMs, pick this eSIM and choose a top up. It goes onto the same eSIM, so there is no new QR code to scan.
