Santiago Valparaíso Concepción Viña del Mar
Entel operates Chile's most extensive rural and southern network, covering the Carretera Austral to Coyhaique and Villa O'Higgins. 5G is live in Santiago, Valparaíso, and Concepción. The Atacama Desert main routes (San Pedro de Atacama, Valle de la Luna) have 4G at town centres; remote altiplano and salt flats are offline. Torres del Paine National Park has 4G coverage at the administration centre and main trails; backcountry "W" and "O" circuits thin to no signal beyond base camps. Easter Island (Isla de Pascua/Rapa Nui) has 4G in Hanga Roa town; remote Rano Raraku quarry and Anakena Beach have limited signal. Santiago's Metro has 4G at all stations.
Plan size
How much data do you need?
Pick your travel style and trip length — we'll suggest the right Chile plan, no guessing.
Yes, in San Pedro de Atacama and on the main routes. Remote salt flats and altiplano areas above 4,000 m are typically outside network coverage. Download offline maps before venturing off-road.
Does the eSIM work in Torres del Paine?
Yes at park headquarters and main trailheads. The backcountry W and O circuits have no coverage beyond the first few kilometres — plan for offline navigation.
Can I use this on Easter Island?
Yes. Hanga Roa has 4G. Remote archaeological sites like Rano Raraku and Anakena Beach have limited or no signal.
What plug type does Chile use?
Chile primarily uses Type L (Italian round 3-pin) and Type C (European). Type A and B (US/North American) also work in many outlets. Bring a universal adapter to be safe.
Is 5G available in Santiago?
Yes. 5G launched in Santiago from Entel and WOM, with active coverage in Providencia, Las Condes, Miraflores, and the city centre. Speeds of 300–800 Mbps in 5G zones.
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 Chile
The complete guide.
Best eSIM for travel to Chile
The best Chile eSIM combines wide coverage across the world's longest country, clear pricing, and instant setup. Flysimio runs on Entel, Claro, Movistar, and WOM — with Entel offering the most extensive southern and rural reach, from Santiago to the Atacama Desert and Patagonia — plus 5G in Santiago. 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. Land at Santiago already connected — no airport SIM queue.
How to set up a Chile eSIM (step by step)
Getting online in Chile takes about two minutes. First, confirm your phone supports eSIM — iPhone XS (2018) and newer and most Android flagships from 2020 qualify. Choose your Chile 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 Santiago, Puerto Montt, or Easter Island, your Flysimio line connects automatically to a Chilean network — no kiosk, no physical SIM.
How much data do you need in Chile?
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 Santiago comfortably. Add social media, photos, and music and you'll want about 700 MB a day — a 10 GB plan suits a two-week trip taking in Santiago, the Atacama, and the lake district. 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 Atacama's remote salt flats, Torres del Paine's backcountry, and stretches of Patagonia have no signal, so download offline maps first. Use the calculator above to size it, and top up mid-trip if you run low.
Using a Chile 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 Chilean 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 Chilean networks, with no roaming fees. Keep your home SIM on for messages and calls, or switch it off to avoid your own carrier's charges. If you're unsure about your model, the compatibility page confirms it before you buy.
Hotspot, calls, and texts on a Chile data eSIM
Every Flysimio Chile 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 Chilean phone number, but that rarely matters: WhatsApp — used for almost everything in Chile — 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 the desert to Patagonia without the per-minute charges of traditional roaming.
Short Chile trips vs. long stays
For a few days in Santiago or a quick wine-country escape, a small 1–5 GB plan on a 7-day validity is the most economical choice. For a two-week trip from the Atacama to Patagonia 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 Chile. No contract, nothing to cancel — the plan stops when it's done, and you can top up or rebuy for your next trip.
