The nitty gritty
Latin America eSIM FAQs
No, the Latin America travel eSIM is data-only. It won’t give you a cellular voice line. If you want to call, just fire up WhatsApp, Telegram, or FaceTime using your data allowance.
Definitely. Install your Latin America travel eSIM up to 30 days before departure, and it will activate automatically when you arrive.
Installing early won’t consume data or days from your plan until you land in Latin America.
If an iPhone shows an activation error when installing abroad, you can safely ignore it - check our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide for guidance.
No, the Latin America eSIM is data-only and excludes voice/SMS numbers. You’ll have to rely on data-based messaging platforms like WhatsApp or Messenger for calling.
Your eSIM will activate automatically once you arrive in Latin America. We advise installing your Latin America Travel eSIM before you travel (installation is distinct from activation).
To install, just scan the QR code we send or install via the ZenSim app over WiFi. On landing in Latin America, the eSIM will switch on by itself.
If you have any problems, check our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or contact us 😊
The eSIM activates when you touch down in Latin America - if you’ve already installed it, it should connect automatically.
Installing while already in Latin America works too; it will start as soon as you complete setup.
If you experience connection issues, check our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or reach out to our support team.
Good question! Opting for a travel eSIM instead of roaming in Latin America offers clear advantages:
Lower Costs: Say goodbye to outrageous roaming bills by switching to a local travel package designed for Latin America.
Seamless Switching: Change between data plans without fumbling with physical SIM cards - perfect for spontaneous travellers.
Budget Control: Track data usage in real time and avoid surprise charges or overages.
Data and plan days only kick in when you arrive in Latin America. Installing earlier just prepares it for activation which happens automatically when you arrive in Latin America.
Install over WiFi before your trip to get connected from the minute you touch down.
If you have trouble connecting, see our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or message us for assistance.
Yes - ZenSim’s eSIMs work in 200+ destinations, and Latin America is included. For travellers needing multiple-country access, we offer regional eSIMs. You can find those on our Travel eSIMs page.
Connectivity Troubleshooting: Check our troubleshooting guide if your eSIM won’t connect. Still stuck? Hit up our support team and we’ll get you back online fast.
eSIM Installation Help: For help setting up your eSIM, visit our installation guide, or simply contact us - we’re happy to assist.
Other Inquiries: Have another issue? Head to our contact page and we’ll respond ASAP.
If you’ve chosen a regional plan, your Latin America eSIM works in all included countries - check the section above to confirm coverage.
That means one activation gives you reliable service across the region and includes all of the countries specified above.
Yes, you can. Around 99 percent of our eSIMs allow quick and easy top ups through the ZenSim app. You can add more data, increase the days, or even include a different destination on the same eSIM right from the Zen Garden.
Open the app, go to the Zen Garden area, and you’ll see the top up button waiting for you.
Top up pricing: Latin America top up plans follow the same pricing as on the website, minus a 10% discount.
Travelling for a while: If your trip lasts more than 30 days, you can queue multiple top ups. None of them will interrupt your current plan because each one only activates when the previous eSIM expires.
Travelling to more destinations: Most eSIMs let you attach extra countries via a top up. For example, if you're heading home from Europe and stopping in Singapore, you can add Singapore to your Europe eSIM and it will switch on once you arrive.
You bet there is! Once you purchase an Latin America eSIM you will be able to access your unique referral URL which you can share with your travel buds.
If they click the URL and purchase a plan they will save A$5 on their order and you will receive a A$5 voucher on your account which will be automatically applied on your next purchase (provided they are a new customer of course).
You can track your referrals and access your referral URL in the ZenSim app. Check out our terms for more info.
Our Latin America unlimited plans include a 3GB daily allowance, which is more than enough for most people - average daily usage tends to sit under 1GB.
If you happen to use more than that in a day, your speed gets limited to 1Mbps until midnight, at which point your full-speed allowance kicks back in.
This only applies to unlimited plans - if you've chosen a fixed-data plan like 10GB or 20GB, there's no daily throttling at all, just use it freely until it runs out. We'll let you know before that happens, and you can top up in seconds via the ZenSim app.
Not at all - installing early doesn't use up any of your days or data, and it doesn't set a start date either. Everything stays dormant until you actually land in Latin America.
Once you arrive, and provided you've already installed it, your eSIM activates automatically and your plan's official start date is that moment of arrival.
The end date follows on from there - it'll expire once your data or days run out, whichever happens first (or just the days if you've gone unlimited). A 30-day plan gives you a full 30 days from the moment you land in Latin America, no matter how far in advance you bought or installed it.
Best way to find out is with our eSIM compatibility checker - just enter your phone details and it'll confirm whether it's compatible with our Latin America eSIM and networks.
Not 100% sure, or getting an unexpected result? Contact us and we'll help sort it out. Worst case scenario, if your phone truly isn't compatible, our refund policy gives you a full refund - so there's no risk in trying.
You're covered - our 100% money back guarantee exists for exactly this situation.
Trip cancelled? Phone not eSIM-compatible? Plans changed and you just don't need it anymore? All of these are covered.
The full details sit in our refund policy, but in short: if you can't install or use the eSIM, we'll give you a full refund. You shouldn't have to pay for something you can't use.
