Latin America eSIM, no ID at the counter
Mexico now ties every mobile line to a CURP. Brazil asks for a CPF. Across the region, buying a local SIM increasingly means handing a government number to a shop assistant and hoping the database it lands in is well guarded.
A regional eSIM skips that entirely. One plan covers 11 countries, you install it before the flight, and no registry ever learns your name.
What the plan covers
Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, French Guiana, Mexico, Panama, Peru
Data only, so the number you already use stays on your physical SIM.

Why a regional plan fits this region
Distances are long and itineraries drift. A Mexico plus Guatemala trip becomes a Mexico, Guatemala and Belize trip. A digital nomad rents in Medellín for a month and ends up in Lima. Every change of country would mean another local SIM, another registration, another queue.
If you are going to one country and staying, the single-country plan is cheaper. Start from the country list.
Networks and what to expect
You roam on local carriers. Big cities are solid 4G with 5G in places. Mountain roads, jungle stretches and small islands are thin, and no travel eSIM changes that.
Worth knowing: in several countries the cheapest local prepaid deals are bundled with social apps, and they look attractive until you notice the fair use terms. A regional plan is plainer. You buy gigabytes, you use gigabytes.
Registration rules, in plain words
Mexico's registry is the strictest example. The law ties a mobile line to your CURP, which is a unique personal code. It has been challenged and rewritten before, and the current version is its third attempt.
A travel eSIM does not create a Mexican line. It roams on a partner network, so there is nothing to tie to a CURP and nobody to hand it to. Our Spanish-language guide covers the legal detail: eSIM sin CURP.
Paying with crypto
USDT on several networks, Bitcoin including Lightning, Ethereum, Solana, USDC, DAI, Monero, TON. No account, no email, no card, no bank in the middle. The QR appears on the page about a minute after the payment confirms.
Check your phone first
eSIM support, no carrier lock. The compatibility list is short. Install at home on wi-fi, and the plan starts when you first connect at your destination.
Frequently asked questions

Which countries are included?
11, listed above. The plan works in all of them without switching anything.
Is it legal?
Yes. You are roaming on a foreign operator, exactly as your home SIM does abroad. Registration laws are written for local lines.
Does it include calls or a local number?
No, data only. Your own number stays on your physical SIM.
How do I pay?
In crypto, including Monero if you want payment privacy as well. No card, no account, no email.
Can I add data later?
