Before choosing your plan
Staying connected in Uruguay
Uruguay is a relaxed country tucked between Argentina and Brazil: Montevideo with its long riverside Rambla, the UNESCO-listed old town of Colonia del Sacramento just a ferry ride from Buenos Aires, and the beach resort of Punta del Este, packed in the December to February summer. Many visitors drop in as part of an Argentina trip, while others follow the coast to José Ignacio or Cabo Polonio and add a visit to the Tannat vineyards.
Coverage and networks
The plan information does not name a network for Uruguay. If the network matters to you, ask Simtel to confirm it for the exact plan before paying.
If you are taking the ferry from Buenos Aires or combining Argentina and Brazil, consider the South America 6 countries plan (which includes Uruguay) for more choice of duration and data.
Signal and speed depend on where you are, your device and network conditions, and can differ between plans.
Choosing a data allowance
eSIM plans for Uruguay currently last 30 days and come in this type:
- Total data (10GB): one allowance for the whole trip, handy when some days are heavier than others.
Suggestions for this trip
- The current plan is 10GB over 30 days: generous for a Montevideo – Colonia – Punta del Este trip with maps, ride-hailing and photo posts; if you stay the full month, keep video calls and heavy downloads for Wi-Fi.
Count your arrival and departure days. Before paying, check the exact plan for when validity starts, how days are counted, and whether hotspot, calls or SMS are included; these differ between plans.
Before you go
- Ride-hailing: Uber operates in Montevideo and Punta del Este, and long-distance buses leave from the Tres Cruces terminal for towns all along the coast.
- Ferry from Buenos Aires: Boats run to Colonia and Montevideo; keep e-tickets and documents on your phone and arrive early for border formalities at the terminal.
- Payments: Cards and digital payments are very widely accepted, even at small cafés; carry a few pesos for street markets and the countryside.
- eSIM setup: Before buying, make sure your phone supports eSIM and is not carrier-locked. Install the eSIM before you fly, on a stable Wi-Fi connection, following the instructions sent with your plan.
- On arrival: Set the travel eSIM as your mobile data line and follow its roaming instructions. Turn off data roaming on your home SIM to avoid unexpected charges.
