Does Entel have eSIM? A guide for travelers visiting Chile, Peru, and Bolivia
Explore the different Entel eSIM plans available in Chile, Peru, and Bolivia, as well as alternatives to make connectivity easier when traveling there.
Entel offers eSIMs in Chile, Peru, and Bolivia. It is one of the largest eSIM operators in Latin America.
However, travelers might have a hard time figuring out how to get an Entel eSIM in any of these three countries, so let’s look into everything from requirements to available plans.
This guide covers all you need to know about using an Entel eSIM in these countries, as well as how to use a Holafly eSIM in each country.
Entel Chile eSIM
Entel Chile offers eSIMs, available to locals and travelers alike, with travelers only having access to prepaid ones.
Travelers need to visit an official Entel Chile store, such as the Santiago Arturo Merino Benítez airport store, to get a prepaid plan and ask a customer support representative to activate it with an eSIM, not a SIM card.
The only two requirements are that the mobile phone be eSIM-compatible and that a valid ID be shown to activate the eSIM.
Note: If you buy a prepaid Entel Chile SIM card, you can turn it into an eSIM by downloading the Entel app and completing identity verification.
Entel Chile eSIM price and plans
Entel Chile offers five prepaid plans available in physical stores for travelers.
Here’s what you need to know about the available plans:
- Limited data plans: Range from CLP $500 to CLP $8,000 (~$0.60 to $8.40 USD), with up to 20 GB, up to 500 minutes per month, and validity from 2 to 30 days.
- Unlimited data plans: Range from CLP $990 to CLP $5,690 (~$1.05 to $5.98 USD) with unlimited calls included. Validity ranges from 1 to 7 days.
