Ecuador is an amazing country where you can enjoy the nature of the Galápagos Islands, explore colonial cities, and admire the breathtaking landscapes of the Andes. To stay connected and share your experiences, you need a high-quality internet connection. With an eSIM from Vlex eSIM you avoid extra roaming costs and the hassle of buying local SIM cards.
Roaming tariffs from Russian operators in Ecuador can reach very high prices per gigabyte. Local SIM cards require time and effort to purchase, including presenting your passport and figuring out plans in Spanish. With eSIM you get internet access immediately upon arrival — no queues and no extra hassle.
If you are planning to stay in Ecuador for 7–14 days and actively use the internet for social media and navigation, we recommend a package of 3–5 GB. For streaming video and video calls it is better to choose 10 GB or an unlimited Day Pass. To calculate the data volume more accurately, use our calculator on the homepage.
eSIM is supported by devices such as: iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20+, Google Pixel 3+, Huawei P40 Pro, and most modern smartphones. Make sure your phone is not locked to an operator (unlocked) before making a purchase.
