With the introduction of eSIM Chile, getting connected in the country is much easier.
The Airalo Chile eSIM will connect you to the local network to start exploring!
In simple terms, what is an eSIM?
An eSIM, or embedded SIM, is a digital SIM card already encrypted within a device. It works similarly to a material SIM card, allowing users to join multiple cellular networks and access data and message servicing apps.
Unlike a physical SIM card, eSIM doesn’t require swapping out those tiny cards in your device. Instead, an eSIM is downloaded digitally and then activated on your device.
There are simple steps to follow when downloading an eSIM to your device; we’ll cover that below.
eSIM Chile – Is it better than buying a local SIM?
When buying an eSIM for any country, not just eSIM for Chile – the most beneficial thing is its convenience!
You can buy, download and activate an eSIM on your device without visiting a physical store or navigating the language barrier upon arrival in a new country.
Furthermore, Airalo eSIM for Chile can be topped up anytime if you run low on data.

Download the Airalo app and purchase the eSIM for Chile.
Follow the steps to activate the eSIM for Chile just before you arrive (remember that the data pack starts from the activation date).
A Few Tips:
- Before you arrive in Chile, switch from your current mobile provider to the local eSIM provider. Don’t worry; there is a step-by-step guide on how to do it during installation.
- Once your eSIM card is activated, turn off data for all apps you don’t use, including those that can use a lot of data. Apps such as Instagram, YouTube and Netflix will consume your data quickly, so only access that once you reach your hotel and access the complimentary wifi.
And, if you decide to extend your stay in Chile, you can easily top up and buy another eSIM on the Airalo app within minutes. This is so convenient, one of my favourite features.
Regional eSIM to Travel in Chile & Beyond
One of the things I love most about Airalo eSIMs for International Travel is that they offer Regional eSIMs and Global eSIMs, too.
So, if you plan to travel to many countries in Latin America, your best bet is to purchase a Regional Latamlink eSIM.
Alternatively, a Global eSIM (which covers 84 countries) is an excellent travel product if you plan to travel to other continents.
Seriously, the eSIM product is excellent value and zero hassle!
