Your Brazil eSIM in two questions
Which Brazil eSIM plan do I need?
Start with how long you'll be away and how much you'll rely on your phone.
- Three-day city break in Rio de Janeiro: Standard use, meaning social media, music and some video, fits 2 GB for 15 days.
- Two weeks touring from São Paulo to Salvador: Standard use over 14 days suits 10 GB for 30 days.
- A month-long business stay in São Paulo: Standard use for messages, maps, social media and music suits 20 GB for 30 days.
- Brazil plus a neighbouring country: The six-country South America eSIM also covers Brazil, so one eSIM can carry the whole trip.
Most plans can be topped up, so you can add more if your trip stretches, and the longest plan lasts 30 days.

These eSIMs cover Brazil and more countries on one plan.
Will my eSIM have signal in Brazil?
Your eSIM joins Claro, TIM or Vivo, and your phone picks one of them by itself, so you don't have to choose. 5G is available on these networks, so if your phone supports it, you can use it.
Cities and most of the coast are well covered. Signal is patchy in the Amazon and the Pantanal, so save your maps before you set off.
Daily plans slow to a lower speed once you've used that day's allowance, so pick a plan that fits your busiest days. Not sure how much you need? Check our data guide.
