Is it worth getting an eSIM for Uruguay?
For most travellers, yes, if your phone supports eSIM. Uruguay plans start at $3.99 for 1 GB, and the longest lasts 365 days, which suits long stays and repeat visits. If your home plan already covers Uruguay at no extra cost, you may not need one.
Which networks do Uruguay eSIMs use?

Which eSIM is best for Uruguay?
No plan covers Uruguay alone right now, so the choice is a multi-country plan. The top one is 20 GB for 30 days at $44.99 from Sparks, covering 10 countries. We rank plans on quality and value for money. If price per GB is all that matters, the lowest right now is $2.00 per GB, with 20 GB for 30 days.
How much data do I need for a week in Uruguay?
It depends on how you use your phone. Light use (maps, messaging, browsing) takes about 0.5–1 GB a day; scrolling a lot of social video can take 2–3 GB or more. Typical use per hour:
- Instagram Reels, TikTok: 0.3–1 GB
- YouTube, Netflix at standard quality: 0.5–1 GB
- Video calls (WhatsApp, FaceTime): 0.5–1 GB
- Voice calls (WhatsApp, FaceTime Audio): 50–70 MB
- Maps and navigation: 2–6 MB
- Messaging and browsing: 50–150 MB
The cheapest Uruguay plan with at least 5 GB for a week or longer is 5 GB for 30 days at $14.99.
Do Uruguay eSIMs support 5G and hotspot?
Uruguay plans currently run on 4G/LTE. Hotspot (tethering) works on every plan, so you can share your data with other devices.
Does a Uruguay eSIM come with a phone number?
Most travel eSIMs, including most Uruguay plans, are data-only and have no local number. You keep your usual number on your main SIM for calls, texts and WhatsApp. Plans that include a number or minutes say so on the plan page.
Will my phone work with a Uruguay eSIM?
Yes, if it supports eSIM and is not locked to a carrier. To check, dial *#06#: if an EID number appears, your phone supports eSIM. Most iPhones from the XS/XR on, Galaxy S20 and later and Pixel 3 and later do, except most models sold in mainland China and some sold in Hong Kong and Macao.
Can I keep my own SIM and WhatsApp while using a Uruguay eSIM?
Yes. Your eSIM and your main SIM can be active at the same time. Use the eSIM for mobile data with data roaming on for that line, and turn data roaming off on your home SIM to avoid charges. WhatsApp keeps working on your usual number.

I bought two esims for two different countries because mobimatter has affordable prices. I had an issue connecting the second esim. The helpdesk responded fast. It turns out I was using the first eSIM instead of the second. Thanks for good data in both countries and for responding fast!

I have been using it for about 2 years and I am very satisfied. I used it in Greece, Bulgaria, and Romania, and I experienced internet speeds that I haven't seen in Turkey.

I love using it. The internet is a lifesaver for all of us everywhere, but it's especially necessary abroad, and having a reliable connection is fantastic. Even during my overseas vacations when I changed countries, I never experienced any internet disconnections or delays; the connection was excellent.

Very good data packages for a wide range of countries. I also had an issue regarding an esim which was resolved within minutes of me contacting customer service. Great app and customer service.

I recently used their service and I’m extremely satisfied. The package lasted longer than expected, and I was able to make great use of it across the Asian region. They also have the fastest support team — very responsive and incredibly detailed in the information they provide.

It's the most ideal in terms of usability and price. You don't have to deal with a SIM card. Regional packages are especially recommended.
