How much travel data do I need in Uruguay?
A few factors will determine your travel data needs in Uruguay. When you’re in a hotel or café, you’ll probably have access to Wi-Fi. But when spending your time traveling and sightseeing, you might want to use several apps that require mobile data.
Thanks to a Uruguay eSIM’s flexible data plans, you can start with a small data package and upgrade whenever it’s needed.
We also have a travel data calculator to help you estimate how much data you’ll need for your trip.

To avoid roaming charges on your primary SIM, please make sure you’ve turned off Data Roaming on your primary SIM (and confirmed you aren’t enrolled in a carrier travel plan) to prevent your home carrier from adding roaming charges to your next bill.
