No, this is a common misconception for travelers in South America. While Ecuador shares borders with Colombia and Peru, and they are all part of the Andean community, your Ecuadorian SIM card will typically incur international roaming charges when you cross into these neighboring countries. Local carriers like Claro Ecuador or Movistar Ecuador do not offer free roaming in other nations unless specifically purchased as an add-on. An Ecuador Abroad regional eSIM is a better solution for multi-country trips.
