Most modern phones do, but you must check our specific list here: eSIM Compatible Devices to be 100% sure before purchasing. 

 Yes. Uber and 99 are the safest ways to travel in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, so reliable data is essential to avoid street taxis. 

 Coverage is limited. You will have signal in gateway towns like Cuiabá or Corumbá, but expect no service deep inside the Pantanal river areas. 

Brazil is in a high-cost roaming zone for most US and EU carriers, so using your home SIM would result in massive daily fees compared to this eSIM. 

 You must set expectations. You will have excellent 4G/5G coverage in all major cities (Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Salvador) and in the main Amazon city of Manaus. However, once you are on a boat on the Amazon River or at a remote jungle lodge, you must expect the signal to be intermittent or completely non-existent. This eSIM is for cities, not for deep jungle expeditions. 

You must set expectations. During the peak of Carnival (especially at the Sambadrome or at a bloco with 1 million people), the local networks in Rio are under extreme strain. While our eSIM uses the best local networks (like Vivo/Claro), you should expect data to be slower than normal during these peak hours. It will still be more reliable for sending WhatsApp messages than a congested public Wi-Fi. 

 To give you the best coverage in this vast country, our eSIM connects to Brazil’s premium Tier-1 networks, typically Vivo or Claro. These are widely regarded as the best providers with the most extensive 4G coverage, ensuring you stay connected from the beaches of Copacabana to the business district of São Paulo. 

 This specific plan is valid only within Brazil. This is a critical point. If you are visiting Iguazu Falls, your connection will stop the moment you cross the bridge to the Argentinian side. For a seamless multi-country trip, we highly recommend our Latin America Regional eSIM to stay connected in both Brazil and Argentina.
