Setup
Set the eSIM up before you fly to Brazil
Set up your eSIM before you travel. Install it once from the link in your email, switch it on when you arrive, and you’re online.
On iPhone (iOS)
- After purchase, open the confirmation email and tap the install link — the eSIM adds itself (iOS 17.4+). Older iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → scan the QR from the same email.
- Label the plan (e.g. “vigxo travel”) and set your home line to keep calls/SMS.
- Turn on Data Roaming for the vigxo line — this uses the local partner network, not your home carrier.
On Android
- Tap the Android install link in your email (recent Android) — or Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → Add eSIM and scan the QR.
- Download the profile and set vigxo as your Mobile data line.
- When you land, turn on data roaming for the vigxo line so that line can use the local network.
Good to know
- Works on eSIM-capable phones (iPhone XR/XS+, Pixel 3+, Samsung Galaxy S20+). Older or carrier-locked phones may not support eSIM.
- Install before you fly on Wi‑Fi — you only need to enable it when you land, no signal required to set up.
- Data-only plans: keep your home SIM active for calls and texts. Use WhatsApp/FaceTime over data.
- Prices are final at checkout. Full refund before you install the eSIM.

5 plans can be topped up without installing a second eSIM. Plans run on Claro, TIM, Vivo.
Counted from our live catalogue, not a marketing figure. The list above shows the best-priced plan for each size and validity; the count here includes every plan.
Regional plans that also cover Brazil
31 regional plans include Brazil. The widest covers 127 countries — worth it if Brazil is one stop of several, rather than the whole trip.
Regional coverage starts at $16.99 for 3 GB over 15 days.
How eSIMs work in Brazil
A travel eSIM for Brazil is a digital SIM your phone downloads — no plastic card, no airport pickup counter. You buy online, tap the install link we email you (a QR code is included too), and it installs a second line alongside your existing SIM. Install it on Wi-Fi before you fly. When you land in Brazil, turn on data roaming for that line so it can use Claro, TIM, Vivo on 5G where available and LTE everywhere else. Your home number keeps working for calls and texts; the eSIM carries the data.
How much data do you need in Brazil?
Maps, messaging and rideshare apps are light — roughly 300–500 MB a day. Add photos, social and the occasional video and you’re closer to 1 GB a day. For a one-week trip a 5 GB plan is comfortable; for two weeks, sharing, or heavy use, choose 10 GB or more, or a reloadable plan you can top up on the go. Brazil plans start at $6.19 across 5 sizes, with the per-GB price shown on every one so the right choice is obvious.
What do you pay for data in Brazil?
A travel eSIM for Brazil is a local data plan. You pay the price shown at checkout. Set the eSIM as your data line and turn data roaming off on your home SIM, so your home carrier does not add this trip's data to your bill. Full refund before you install.
Setting up your Brazil eSIM
- 1. Buy a plan — your install link and QR code arrive by email right after payment.
- 2. While you’re still on Wi-Fi before you fly, tap the install link in your confirmation email — or open Settings → Cellular/Mobile Data → Add eSIM and scan the QR.
- 3. Land in Brazil, turn on data roaming for the eSIM line, and you’re online.
Brazil connectivity guide
Brazil has good mobile coverage across its populated coast and interior cities, and one administrative obstacle that makes buying a local SIM genuinely difficult for visitors: most prepaid registrations require a CPF, the Brazilian taxpayer number, which a tourist does not have. That single fact is why travel eSIMs matter more here than in most of South America. This guide covers the CPF problem, which networks you get, where the Amazon and the interior lose signal, and what a Brazilian trip consumes.
