eSIM Travel Tips for Brazil
Sort your data before your flight from Dublin
Buy your HelloRoam eSIM for Brazil at home, activate it over Wi-Fi, and enable data when you land in Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo. You skip the airport telecom queues entirely and step off the plane already connected.
Keep your Irish number active
On a dual SIM phone, keep your Eir, Three IE, or Vodafone IE SIM for calls and texts while using HelloRoam for data in Brazil. Family and colleagues back in Ireland can still reach you on your regular Irish number.
Offline maps save data on city breaks
Download Google Maps for Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo offline before you leave Ireland. Offline navigation saves data and works even in areas with a weaker signal. Brazil's major cities are well covered on TIM but rural regions and national parks can be patchy.
Travel insurance and emergency numbers
Travel insurance is essential for Brazil. The emergency number is 190 (police), 192 (ambulance), and 193 (fire). Save these before you go. Your HelloRoam eSIM keeps emergency apps, your insurer's contact number, and the Irish embassy in Brasília accessible at all times.
Currency and card acceptance
Notify your Irish bank before travelling to Brazil. Card acceptance is generally good in Brasilia but carry some local currency for smaller vendors and public transport. Currency conversion apps work well on a HelloRoam data connection.
Mobile networks in Brazil: what Irish visitors need to know
HelloRoam connects on TIM in Brazil. TIM has 5G in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and major cities, with 4G coverage across the country. Your eSIM selects the best available signal automatically.
