Uruguay
- Hotspot
- 5G
Uruguay is often reached as a side trip from Buenos Aires: a ferry across the Río de la Plata to Colonia del Sacramento, then a run along the coast through Montevideo to Punta del Este. The rhythm of the trip is set by ferry departures, intercity buses and summer accommodation that books out fast, and almost all of it — confirming a rental, messaging a driver, checking a sailing has not been retimed — happens in writing rather than by phone, which is exactly what a working data line is for.

A GB plan is a fixed amount of data. When it is used up, data on that eSIM stops and nothing is charged automatically, but you can top up the same eSIM without a new QR code, and check what is left any time from your order page.

A typical trip runs about 700MB–1.5GB a day, mostly maps while driving the coast road, messages to hosts, and photo uploads. If you stream or post video each evening, budget an estimated 2GB a day instead.
The main airport is Carrasco in Montevideo (MVD), about 20 km from the centre, with seasonal flights into Punta del Este (PDP) over the summer. By sea, ferries run from Buenos Aires to Colonia del Sacramento and to Montevideo itself. Overland crossings from Argentina are at Fray Bentos, Paysandú and Salto, and from Brazil at Chuy and Rivera.
The coastal strip from Colonia through Montevideo out to Punta del Este and La Paloma has continuous service, and the main inland highways are fine too. The real gap is Cabo Polonio, inside a national park with no paved access — you arrive by dune truck and the village runs largely off-grid, so signal is thin at best. Remote estancias in the central interior and the valleys around Quebrada de los Cuervos also drop out.

Mid-river the signal drops or bounces between networks on either bank, so the simplest approach is to finish anything that needs data before you sail and switch the Uruguayan line on as the boat comes into Colonia or Montevideo. If you plan to hop back and forth, a regional plan covering both Argentina and Uruguay saves you from swapping lines on every sailing.
Close to it. The village sits inside a national park with no paved road, you get there by truck across the dunes, and power mostly comes from solar panels and generators. You may catch something from a high point, but do not plan around it. Book your stay and save the address beforehand, check the time of the last truck back before you go in, and let those couple of days be offline ones.
The main routes — Ruta 1, Ruta 9 and the coastal Ruta 10 — carry signal almost the whole way, so live navigation is fine. What is worth doing is saving an offline map of the eastern coast for the detours down to small beach villages, and keeping the rental company's number on the phone. Fuel stations in the countryside are spread out, so checking distances in advance pays off.
Most plans here start when the phone first connects to a network at the destination, so you can install in advance at home and switch it on after landing. Each plan page states its own rule.
No. The eSIM is a second line, so you keep your home number for SMS OTP. Turn off roaming data on the home line and set the eSIM as the data line.
