Your Uruguay eSIM is designed for use within Uruguay, so once it's been activated there, it won’t work in other countries.
If you're visiting multiple destinations, a better option might be one of our regional Travel eSIMs that cover entire regions like Europe or Asia.
Absolutely! ZenSim’s eSIMs work in over 200 countries, and Uruguay is one of them. We also have regional eSIMs that cover several nations on a single plan - check out our Travel eSIMs page for details.
Our Uruguay travel eSIMs are purely data - no native voice or SMS services are included. If you need calling, use an internet - based app like WhatsApp or Skype over your data connection.
Data and plan days only kick in when you arrive in Uruguay. Installing earlier just prepares it for activation which happens automatically when you arrive in Uruguay.
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.
The eSIM activates when you touch down in Uruguay — if you’ve already installed it, it should connect automatically.
Installing while already in Uruguay 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.
Our Uruguay travel eSIM is strictly for data; it doesn’t come with a phone number or traditional call/SMS service. Use an internet calling app if you need voice communication.
Your eSIM will activate automatically when you arrive in Uruguay. Though we recommend installing your Uruguay Travel eSIM before you arrive (this is different to activating).
To do this, scan the QR code we provide or install the eSIM directly from the ZenSim app while connected to WiFi. Once you arrive in Uruguay, your eSIM will activate automatically.
If you encounter any issues check out our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or contact us directly ☺️
Absolutely! You can install your Uruguay travel eSIM up to 30 days before departure. Installing early means it will automatically activate once you land.
Rest assured, installing before you leave won’t start your data or count down your plan days until you arrive in Uruguay.
If you see an activation error on iPhone when installing before arriving, you can ignore it—learn more in our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide.
If you want to avoid roaming headaches in Uruguay, a travel eSIM is the smarter pick:
Big Savings: Our local Uruguay eSIM data plans are priced for residents, not tourists who pay premium roaming costs.
Easy Plan Changes: Upgrade or downgrade your data allowance on the fly - no need for a new SIM.
Full Transparency: See your data usage in - app so you won’t run out unexpectedly or incur extra charges.
It’s easy. Download the ZenSim app, sign into your account, and you’ll see options to top up your current eSIM right away.
Choose which plan you want to add based on your days or data needs, confirm, and you’ll have extended coverage in no time.
