To ensure a smooth experience when booking and tracking your rides, reliable mobile data is absolutely essential.

You will have signal in the town of Uyuni and at the "Train Cemetery." However, out on the vast salt flats of Salar de Uyuni and during the multi-day jeep tours to the colored lagoons, coverage is extremely rare.

Look up your phone’s exact model number with the manufacturer to see if it’s listed as compatible, and make sure your phone is not carrier-locked. Seeing an EID number or an “Add eSIM” option in your settings is a good sign, but some phones have regional restrictions. If you’re not sure, please contact our support team before you buy.

Tips for Using Your eSIM in South America
To make the most of your regional eSIM, keep these tips in mind. Having data upon arrival is useful for booking a ride or checking your hotel reservation. Internet coverage is generally strong in major cities and tourist areas across the continent. However, in remote regions like the Amazon rainforest, the high Andes, or rural parts of Patagonia, service can be intermittent or unavailable. In these areas, planning ahead and using Wi-Fi at your accommodation is recommended. Using Wi-Fi when available is also a good way to conserve your mobile data for when you need it most. Remember that you can keep your primary SIM active for calls and texts while using the Cellesim eSIM for data. Your apps like WhatsApp and iMessage will continue to work with your existing number.
