Latin America & Caribbean: eSIM Coverage by Country
ESIMBYCOUNTRY at checkout · See all codes →The eSIM landscape across Latin America and the Caribbean encompasses 37 countries with varying levels of connectivity infrastructure. Fourth-generation mobile networks are universally available throughout the region, with all 37 countries offering 4G coverage. Fifth-generation networks are less prevalent, currently operational in 15 of the 37 countries, meaning that 5G availability remains concentrated in select markets rather than widespread across the region.
Local mobile carriers directly issue eSIMs in only four countries within the region, indicating that eSIM issuance by carriers themselves remains limited. Travel eSIM services, however, provide a practical solution for connectivity across all 37 countries regardless of local carrier adoption. Additionally, 22 country entries in the database are still undergoing verification, suggesting that the full scope of eSIM availability and network capabilities in the region may evolve as data collection continues.
