Uruguay has three major mobile networks—Antel, Movistar, and Claro—that support 3G, 4G/LTE, and 5G connectivity. The networks operate on bands including B4 (AWS), B7 (2600 MHz), B28 (700 MHz), and n78 (3.5 GHz) for 5G. A travel eSIM will connect to these networks and their available generations on compatible phones.
Home-carrier roaming in Uruguay tends to be costly, making a travel eSIM the more practical choice for most visitors. Travel eSIM country plans are generally cheaper and simpler than obtaining a local SIM for short stays. While some local carriers do issue eSIMs, a travel eSIM remains the more straightforward option for travelers seeking reliable connectivity without the complexity of local arrangements.
