No, unfortunately, roaming is typically not free in Ecuador with most European or US SIM cards. Ecuador is not part of any 'Roam Like at Home' zone that many European providers offer within the EU. Most international carriers charge extremely high international roaming fees for data, calls, and texts when you travel to South America. An Ecuador Abroad eSIM is by far the most cost-effective and convenient way to stay connected, allowing you to avoid bill shock and enjoy your trip.
