Coverage in Ecuador

Galápagos Islands have limited coverage, mostly 3G/4G on Claro and CNT; Movistar service is minimal. Amazon basin provinces (Pastaza, Morona Santiago) have large areas with no mobile service. Claro and Movistar use B4 (AWS) as primary LTE band, which some European and Asian phone variants lack.

Common Questions

The details worth knowing about your Ecuador eSIM

No, this eSIM is for Ecuador only. It does not include coverage in Peru or any other neighbouring country. If you need service in Peru, you would need a separate eSIM or plan for that destination.

Yes, you may have trouble. Claro and Movistar use B4 (AWS) as their primary LTE band. If your phone does not support B4, you might be limited to 3G or weaker 4G on other bands, especially outside major cities.

Coverage in the Galápagos is limited. You can expect 3G or 4G from Claro and CNT, but Movistar service is minimal. Speeds and reliability will be lower than on the mainland.

Your eSIM will connect to one of three operators: Claro Ecuador, Movistar Ecuador, or CNT. The network is selected automatically based on signal strength and availability in your location.

No, this eSIM does not require local ID or passport registration. It activates remotely and works immediately upon installation, unlike physical SIM cards that may require registration at a store in Ecuador.
