We highly recommend activating your Ecuador Abroad eSIM before you even depart for Ecuador. Scan the QR code and follow the simple steps while you're still at home. This way, the moment your plane touches down at Mariscal Sucre International Airport (UIO) in Quito or José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport (GYE) in Guayaquil, you'll have instant connectivity, ready to message family or book a ride.
