South America Verified Traveler Reviews
Fast 5G on Movistar in Argentina!
First time trying an esim for South America and honestly it was way easier than I thought. Had full 5G bars on Movistar pretty much everywhere in Argentina and Bolivia. saved at least $35 compared to airport kiosks.. will defintely use again
Slapp sim-kön på S-AMER Main Passenger Terminal, superenkelt att aktivera
Första gången jag testade eSIM i South America och allt gick hur smidigt som helst. Internetdelning till min partners mobil och laptop funkade klockrent i Argentina och Bolivia. Fungerade perfekt hela veckan utan ett enda avbrott.
Good value for South America, hotspot worked nicely in Argentina
The second we landed at S-AMER Main Passenger Terminal my phone connected to Movistar 5G before we even got off the plane. had a short 4G LTE fallback outside Bolivia yet Movistar stayed connected the whole trip.
S-AMER Main Passenger Terminal 공항 착륙하자마자 Movistar 5G 바로 연결됨
S-AMER Main Passenger Terminal 입국장 유심 카운터 줄 안 서고 바로 우버 호출해서 나왔습니다. 통신사 로밍보다 훨씬 저렴해서 다음 여행 때도 무조건 다시 쓸 거예요!
