In the 21st Century, staying connected while travelling is the name of the game. But it’s also quite overwhelming deciding your provider when there are so many from which to choose.
Holafly’s Latin America eSIM: a digital SIM card promises unlimited data, instant activation, and seamless connectivity across multiple countries. After diving into the details, I’m convinced this is one of the smartest travel tools I’ll be packing.
Adventure Time (Hora de Aventura)
Hola mi amigos!
Good news: I’m off to South America in less than a fortnight with my 23yo son!
Bad news: Do you know how many eSIM companies there are out there?!! *fans self
In the interest of exploration and selfless dedication to the technological cause, I’m off to South America and Antarctica to discover the best eSIM in the market. No, no… I insist – I’m happy to take one for the team. *very dramatic coughing fit…
Superb Connectivity (Excelente conectividad)
Holafly’s eSIM is a virtual SIM card that allows users to connect to mobile networks without needing a physical SIM. For Latin America, Holafly offers a regional eSIM that covers a wide range of countries including Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Uruguay, Panama, Guatemala, El Salvador, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Honduras, Belize, and Puerto Rico. That means I can hop from one country to another without switching SIM cards or losing connectivity.
Holafly has multiple regional plans available across the globe, or you can simply choose by country – the choice is yours. With flexibility of 1 -90 days, you can choose the duration that fits your itinerary.
And if my travel plans change, Holafly has a generous refund policy. I can get a full refund if my device isn’t compatible, if I cancel my trip, or if I experience connection issues. This flexibility gives me confidence to book ahead without worrying about wasted money.
The Brief (El Breve)
My non negotiatbles are:
- Connectivity (hopefully) in every country we’re visiting (Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina (I’ll let Antarctica through to the keeper on this occasion!).
- Reasonable fees
- Decent data allowance
- eSIM easy set up and installation.
Holafly has certainly ticked all these boxes and more – their Unlimited Plan caught my eye and for very good reason! Great coverage and excellent fees with no hidden extras.
Easy Setup and Instant Activation (Configuracion y Activacion)
Holafly makes the setup process incredibly simple. After purchasing the eSIM online, I’ll receive a QR code via email. I just scan it with my phone, install the eSIM, and it’s ready to go. The plan activates as soon as I arrive at my destination and turn on data roaming. There’s no need to visit a store, wait for shipping, or fiddle with tiny SIM cards.
For peace of mind, Holafly recommends installing the eSIM before departure. That way, I can land and connect instantly; perfect for booking a ride from the airport or checking into my accommodation.
In the unlikely event I have issues, it’s reassuring to know help is immediately at hand through Holafly’s ‘Learn how to install your eSIM’ page and their 24/7 Customer support.
Compatibility (Compatibilidad)
Holafly’s eSIM works with most smartphones that support eSIM technology, including iPhones, Samsung Galaxy devices, Google Pixel, and others. If you’re unsure whether your device is compatible, Holafly provides a handy compatibility checker on their website.
Another bonus: I can use my physical SIM and Holafly eSIM simultaneously. That means I can keep my local number active for calls and texts while using Holafly for data. It’s ideal for dual SIM phones and travellers who need to stay reachable.
Holafly also lets me share up to 1 GB of data per day by creating a mobile hotspot. That’sperfect for group trips where not everyone has their own data plan.
Plus, I’ll keep my WhatsApp number, contacts, and conversations intact. Since Holafly’s eSIM is data-only, I can still use WhatsApp to call and message as if I were back home. It’s a small but meaningful feature that helps me stay connected with loved ones.

Reliable Coverage (Cobertura Confiable)
Holafly partners with local carriers to provide strong coverage in urban areas and popular tourist destinations. While coverage in remote jungle or mountainous regions may vary, their customer support team is available 24/7 to help check coverage quality before I go.
I love that Holafly is transparent about this and encourages travellers to reach out with questions. It shows they care about providing a dependable experience.
Pre Flight Thoughts ( Pensamientos Previos al Vuelo)
Holafly‘s eSIM feels like a game-changer. It eliminates the stress of staying connected, simplifies logistics, and saves money, all while offering unlimited data and reliable service.
Whether you’re backpacking through the Andes, lounging on Thailand’s beaches, or working remotely from a café in Brussels, Holafly’s eSIM is a smart investment. It’s not just a tech upgrade – it’s peace of mind in your pocket.
So excuse me while I resume madly getting all the things ready for South America, and load my Holafly eSIM. I’ll report back once the trip is over (who knows, maybe even during the trip?!), and let you know my final observations, coverage outcomes and reliability. Buenos tardes!
Thank you Holafly for the opportunity to explore your Latin American eSIM connectivity and coverage.
