Argentina eSIM — Buenos Aires, Mendoza and Patagonia
A BellRoam Argentina eSIM gives you mobile data across Argentina without buying a SIM on arrival. Receive the QR code by email, install it before you fly and switch it on when you land in Buenos Aires.
Network and coverage
| Network | Personal / Movistar |
| Strong coverage | Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Mendoza, Rosario, Bariloche, Iguazú and El Calafate town |
| Weaker spots | Long stretches of Patagonia and Ruta 40, the high Andes and national park trails |
The network shown on each plan is the one your eSIM connects to.
Which plan should I choose?
- A week in Buenos Aires: maps, messaging, ride-hailing and social media fit in a small total-data plan.
- Three weeks including Patagonia: choose a mid-size plan if you navigate all day, upload photos or share a hotspot.
- Remote work or lots of video: pick the largest plan and use Wi-Fi for big downloads.
