Collection: eSIM for Uruguay

Ballena!, in partnership with Airalo, is the data eSIM for Uruguay. It connects to the Movistar network with 5G where available and 4G elsewhere, with packages by GB from 1 to 20 GB or unlimited ones for 3 to 10 days, and lets you share your connection. If you will visit several countries on the same trip, a regional eSIM for the Americas includes other destinations on the continent.

There are six packages by GB (1 GB for 7 days; 2 GB for 15 days; and 3, 5, 10 or 20 GB for 30 days) and four unlimited ones for 3, 5, 7 or 10 days with 3 GB per day at high speed. No plan or contract: you pay once for the package you choose.

By GB you get a total allowance for the whole trip, useful if you mostly use maps, messaging and social media. Unlimited packages include 3 GB per day at high speed; after that you keep browsing at 384 Kbps until the daily reset. Choose unlimited if you upload video, make video calls or work remotely.

Yes, on the Movistar network, where there is 5G coverage and your phone is compatible. Where there is no 5G, the connection is 4G on the same network. Signal depends on coverage in each area: in Montevideo and Punta del Este it is usually more stable than in rural areas.

Before heading to remote areas, download your maps for offline use.

No. Ballena! works only within Uruguay. If your trip continues to another country, choose that country's eSIM or a regional eSIM for the Americas. Below you'll find destinations to continue your trip.

No. Ballena! cannot be topped up: when your package ends, you buy a new eSIM.

Yes. You can use your phone as a hotspot for your laptop, tablet or other phones, with no separate sharing limit. What you share is deducted from your package data; on unlimited packages it counts toward the 3 GB per day at high speed.

You receive the QR by email instantly. Install it before you travel, on a stable Wi-Fi connection, up to 90 days ahead. Installing it does not start the validity period, and your usual SIM stays in your phone.

The days start counting when it first connects to a network in Uruguay.
