Common Questions

The details worth knowing about your Uruguay eSIM

Your eSIM connects to Antel, Movistar, and Claro. Antel covers rural interior areas with 4G and 3G, while 5G is mostly limited to Montevideo and departmental capitals. Movistar and Claro 5G only works in select urban zones, so expect 4G speeds in smaller towns and countryside.

Uruguay uses 5G n78 on all three carriers. Many non-US phones sold abroad lack n78, so check your device specs. For 4G, Antel uses B1, B3, B5, B28; Movistar and Claro use B2, B4, B28. Phones missing B28 may get weaker coverage outside cities.

Coverage stops at the Uruguay border. If you cross into Argentina or Brazil, the eSIM will drop signal and not roam onto local networks there. There is no automatic fallback to a neighbouring country’s network, so purchase a separate plan if crossing.

Uruguay does not impose government content blocks or throttling for regular eSIM data. However, the eSIM uses a foreign roaming network, so video streaming may be slowed to standard definition. No extra filtering beyond what the home provider applies has been reported.

No. Uruguay does not require SIM registration for visitors using roaming eSIMs. You can activate and use it immediately upon arrival. Local physical SIMs do require ID registration, but that rule does not apply to this eSIM since it is a roaming service.
