São Paulo Rio de Janeiro Brasília Belo Horizonte Curitiba Fortaleza Salvador Manaus
Brazil has solid 4G/LTE coverage across the southeast (São Paulo, Rio, Minas Gerais, Paraná) and all state capitals. Vivo has the widest national footprint and best interior reach. Claro and TIM are strong in urban areas. São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro have 5G in major districts. The northeast coast — Salvador, Fortaleza, Recife, Natal — is well covered. Florianópolis, Foz do Iguaçu (Iguazú Falls Brazilian side), and Pantanal gateway towns (Campo Grande, Cuiabá) have 4G. The Amazon is the major coverage gap: Manaus city has solid 4G, but river travel on the Amazon, Madeira, and Tapajós has coverage only near river towns. Deep forest reserves are offline. Plan with offline maps for Amazonian travel.

How much data do you need?
Pick your travel style and trip length — we'll suggest the right Brazil plan, no guessing.
Yes. Foz do Iguaçu city has 4G on all major carriers. The Iguazú National Park (Brazilian side) has coverage at the main viewpoints and catwalks along the canyon.
Is the Amazon River covered?
Manaus city and nearby river towns have 4G. River boat travel between towns has intermittent coverage near settlements. Deep river routes away from towns (2+ hours by boat) are offline — download offline maps before departure.
Will this work in Rio de Janeiro beaches?
Yes. Copacabana, Ipanema, Barra da Tijuca, and all main Rio beaches have excellent 4G/5G. The cable car to Pão de Açúcar (Sugarloaf) has coverage. Tijuca Forest has 4G on main trails.
How does pricing compare to Airalo Brazil?
Flysimio is typically 40–55% cheaper for equivalent Brazil plans on the same Vivo or Claro network.
Do I need to register a Brazilian SIM?
Brazilian law requires local SIM registration with a CPF number. International eSIMs from providers like Flysimio operate as roaming data and are not subject to the local SIM registration requirement.
What is an eSIM?
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM built into your phone. Instead of a physical card, you scan a QR code and your plan installs instantly — no SIM tray needed.
Is my phone eSIM-compatible?
iPhone XS (2018) and newer, most Android flagships from 2020+, and all Samsung Galaxy S21+ devices support eSIM. Check our compatibility page for the full device list.
How do I install the eSIM?
After purchase, we email a QR code. On iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → Scan QR Code. On Android: Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM. The whole process takes under 60 seconds.
Can I keep my regular SIM while using this eSIM?
Yes. Most phones support dual SIM (physical + eSIM). Keep your home number for calls and SMS — use Flysimio for data abroad. You control which SIM handles what in your phone Settings.
Does the eSIM include a hotspot (tethering)?
Yes, all Flysimio plans include mobile hotspot at no extra charge. Share your data connection with laptops, tablets, or other devices freely.
What happens when my data runs out?
You can top up data from your account dashboard at any time. Top-ups are applied instantly — no need to buy a new eSIM or wait.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. We offer a full refund within 7 days of purchase. Contact contact@flysimio.com with your order number.
How long is the eSIM valid for?
You have 6 months from your purchase date to activate the eSIM. Once activated, the plan validity period (e.g., 7 days, 30 days) begins counting down.
Will the eSIM work at the airport when I land?
Yes — as long as you installed the eSIM before your flight, it activates automatically when your phone connects to a local network on landing. No Wi-Fi required for activation.
What if the QR code doesn't scan?
If the QR code won't scan, you can enter the activation code manually — we include both in the email. You can also contact our 24/7 support team and we'll resend or manually provision your eSIM.
eSIM in Brazil
The complete guide.
Best eSIM for travel to Brazil
The best Brazil eSIM combines wide coverage, clear pricing, and instant setup. Flysimio runs on Vivo, Claro, and TIM — with Vivo offering the widest national reach across São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, and the northeast coast — plus 5G in the major cities. Plans are prepaid with no contract and no roaming surprises, so the price you see is what you pay. Your QR code arrives by email seconds after checkout and installs in under a minute, every plan includes free mobile hotspot, and there's a 7-day money-back guarantee. Best of all, you skip Brazil's CPF-based local-SIM registration entirely — just land at São Paulo or Rio already connected.
How to set up a Brazil eSIM (step by step)
Getting online in Brazil takes about two minutes — and skips the CPF paperwork a local SIM requires. First, confirm your phone supports eSIM: iPhone XS (2018) and newer and most Android flagships from 2020 qualify. Choose your Brazil plan on Flysimio and pay with card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay; your QR code arrives by email within seconds. On Wi-Fi before you fly, open Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM (iPhone) or Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM (Android) and scan it — a manual code is included too. Keep your home line as default until arrival; when you land at São Paulo, Rio, or Brasília, your Flysimio line connects automatically.
How much data do you need in Brazil?
Most travellers over-buy. For maps, messaging, and email, roughly 300 MB a day is plenty, so a 3–5 GB plan covers a week in Rio comfortably. Add social media, beach photos, and music and you'll want about 700 MB a day — a 10 GB plan suits a two-week trip along the coast. Heavy streamers, video callers, and anyone tethering a laptop should plan for 1.5 GB or more per day or choose an unlimited daily plan. One note: the Amazon interior beyond river towns is largely offline, so download maps before boat travel. Use the calculator above to size it, and top up mid-trip if you run low.
Using a Brazil eSIM on iPhone and Android
Flysimio runs as a second line beside your usual SIM, so you keep your home number for calls and texts while your Brazilian data flows over the eSIM — standard dual-SIM behaviour on iPhone XS and later and most Android phones from 2018. After installing, set the Flysimio eSIM as your cellular-data line and turn on Data Roaming for that line only; it simply lets the eSIM connect to Brazilian networks, with no roaming fees. Unlike a local Brazilian SIM, an international eSIM isn't subject to CPF registration. If you're unsure about your model, the compatibility page confirms it before you buy.
Hotspot, calls, and texts on a Brazil data eSIM
Every Flysimio Brazil plan includes mobile hotspot at no extra cost and without throttling, so you can tether a laptop or tablet or share with a travel companion and use your full allowance freely. As a data-only eSIM it has no Brazilian phone number, but that rarely matters: WhatsApp — used by nearly everyone in Brazil — plus FaceTime and Google Meet handle calls and messages over data, and your home number stays reachable on your primary SIM. You stay connected from Rio to the northeast without the per-minute charges of traditional roaming.
Short Brazil trips vs. long stays
For a few days in Rio or a quick business trip to São Paulo, a small 1–5 GB plan on a 7-day validity is the most economical choice. For a two-week coastal trip or a longer stay, a 10–20 GB plan or an unlimited daily option lets you navigate, stream, and share without watching a meter. Because Flysimio gives you six months to activate, you can buy before you leave and the validity only starts when your eSIM first connects in Brazil. No contract, nothing to cancel — the plan stops when it's done, and you can top up or rebuy for your next trip.
