Latamlink Plans
If you're looking for an affordable way to use your cellphone when travelling in Latin America, you can get a Latamlink eSIM from only US$15 for 7 days usage.
To get a Latamlink eSIM, you'll need to have an eSIM-compatible device such as the iPhone 11, Galaxy S20, Pixel 3 or later devices. You can then order your Latamlink eSIM through the Airalo app with instant delivery direct to your phone. There's no need to queue at the airport or to register the Latamlink eSIM with your ID, saving you lots of time.
The following table shows the eSIM plans that are currently available from Latamlink in Latin America:
Plan | Data | Plan Cost | |
---|---|---|---|
| 1GB data | US$15.00 7 days validity | See deal |
| 2GB data | US$28.00 15 days validity | See deal |

Once you've ordered your Latamlink eSIM, it will only activate when your cellphone actually connects to a supported network in Latin America. This means the validity period will only begin when you actually land in Latin America and turn your cellphone on.
Your Latamlink eSIM works with the dual-SIM function on most modern smartphones. This means you can use your regular SIM card alongside the Latamlink eSIM (e.g. to receive incoming phone calls and text messages on your normal phone number).

Alternatives to Latamlink
The main disadvantage of Latamlink is the fact you're getting a data-only service on the eSIM. You will not get a local phone number in Latin America when you're using the Latamlink eSIM in your phone.
If you'd like to call or text whilst you're travelling in Latin America, you'll need to use your normal SIM card instead (on which international roaming fees may apply). Alternatively, you can side-step these charges by making your calls through WhatsApp or other similar apps.
If you're looking for a more fully featured SIM card with a local phone number in Latin America, you could consider getting a regular prepaid SIM card upon arrival instead. This will involve some additional hassle (e.g. queuing up at the airport to get your SIM card, a registration process for the SIM card, etc) but it can be preferable and better suited for longer-term use in Latin America.
