Everything you need to know about E-sims (Iphone X and later)
Everything you need to know about SIM cards in Ecuador (Iphone X and before)
Depending on your:
- cell phone provider, you may not have cell service in Ecuador. You may not have data.
- cell phone, you may need to purchase a SIM card in Ecuador or an E-SIM online before
- you must own your phone to do either of these
- it must be UNLOCKED by your cell phone provider (this takes some effort so start now!)
If you need an ESIM and would like to have a phone number so you can send texts, check out Airalo Discover + for 30 days plan.
If you need an ESIM and can use data only, check out Airalo Bacanet ESIM 5GB for 30 days plan.
If you need a SIM card, it seems that the authors on the links above are recommending a Claro card.
