Frequently Asked Questions
This specific plan is valid only within Uruguay. This is the most important question for travelers. If you are taking the Buquebus / Colonia Express ferry from Buenos Aires (Argentina), your connection will stop in the middle of the river. For this, we highly recommend our Latin America Regional eSIM to stay connected seamlessly in both countries.
No, absolutely not. Uruguay is NOT part of the EU, UK, or US domestic plans. Most home carriers (like AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, or UK's Vodafone/O2) will charge you their highest "Rest of World" international "Day Pass" rates (e.g., $10-$15 per day). A Cellesim eSIM is a one-time prepaid fee that is significantly cheaper.

Yes, absolutely. Our eSIM connects to premium networks that provide excellent 4G/LTE coverage not just in the capital Montevideo, but also in the historic town of Colonia del Sacramento (where the ferry arrives) and at all the beaches and resorts in Punta del Este.
To give you the best speed and coverage, our eSIM connects to Uruguay’s premium Tier-1 networks, typically Antel or Claro. Antel is the state-owned provider and is widely regarded as having the fastest and most extensive 4G/5G network in the country.

Yes, 100%. Buying a physical local SIM card (like Antel) at Montevideo Airport requires you to find the kiosk, wait in line, and go through a mandatory passport registration process. Our eSIM is 100% digital, requires no ID registration, and can be installed before you fly, so you are connected the moment you land.
Scan it at home before your flight. This ensures you get immediate data the moment you land at Carrasco International Airport (MVD) without searching for free WiFi.
Connect to any hotel or cafe WiFi in Montevideo and contact our 24/7 support via WhatsApp or Email immediately.
Signal is limited but available. Since Cabo Polonio has no electricity grid, expect spotty 4G coverage outdoors, mostly from the lighthouse area.
You will have strong signal at the ports, but connection often drops in the middle of the Rio de la Plata crossing.
