Frequently asked questions
Does the eSIM really work in Brazil?
Yes. International eSIMs connect to Vivo, Claro or TIM on landing in São Paulo, Rio, Brasília or Salvador. Excellent coverage along the coast and in major cities.
How much data for 2 weeks Rio-Salvador-Amazon?
Plan for 10–15 GB : Uber, constant WhatsApp (essential in Brazil), iFood, Maps, cloud photos. Add more if you stream video.
Is there signal in the Amazon or Pantanal?
Manaus, Belém and Amazon state capitals have 4G. Deep jungle lodges or remote Rio Negro banks have nothing. Same in the Pantanal : only fazendas near roads have signal.
Can I use my European plan in Brazil?
Non-EU roaming is charged at premium rates (up to €10/MB). Check ; otherwise a travel eSIM is much cheaper.
Can I share the connection with other devices?
