Bolivia
BO LTE onlyBolivia's mountainous geography makes mobile coverage highly variable, with good signal in major cities but large gaps in remote areas. An eSIM lets you avoid the hassle of buying a physical SIM with passport registration at a local store, giving you data as soon as you land.

Pick a row — it prices the box aboveLocal SIM registration
Buying a physical SIM in Bolivia often requires showing your passport and registering the number. An eSIM purchased in advance avoids this step, though you should ensure your phone is compatible with Tigo's LTE bands.
Public Wi-Fi scarcity
Outside hotels and a few cafes, public Wi-Fi is rare. Having your own data is important for navigation, translation, and staying in touch.
Cash and connectivity
Many small shops and transport services only accept cash, and they may not have reliable internet for card payments. Carrying cash helps avoid problems, but it does not affect your mobile data.
Which network does this eSIM use in Bolivia?
The eSIM connects to Tigo, which is the only network on this plan and provides LTE service across the country.
Will I get 5G in Bolivia?
No, Tigo only has LTE in Bolivia. 5G is not currently available on this plan.
How is coverage in rural areas?
Outside urban areas, coverage can be very weak, especially in mountains and jungle regions. You should download offline maps before travelling.
Do I need to register anything?
Pre-purchased eSIMs usually do not require in-country registration. Check with your eSIM provider to confirm their specific terms.
Can I use it in neighbouring countries?
No, this plan is only for Bolivia. If you cross into Peru, Chile, or elsewhere, you will need a different eSIM.
What data allowance should I choose?
It depends on your usage. A 3 to 5 GB plan is often enough for a week of light use, and the options go up to 20 GB.
