Is using an Ecuador Abroad eSIM simpler than buying a local SIM card at Santiago (SCL) Airport? Do I need ID?

Updated April 22, 2026

¡Sí, es mucho más fácil! An Ecuador Abroad eSIM offers a significantly smoother experience compared to purchasing a physical SIM card at Santiago (SCL) Airport. Buying a local 'chip' typically involves locating a carrier store (like Claro or Movistar), waiting in line, potentially dealing with language barriers, and completing a mandatory passport registration process. Our eSIM is 100% digital, can be activated from your home country, and requires no ID registration, meaning you land in Chile already connected and ready to explore.
