eSIM Travel Tips for Rio de Janeiro

Sort your eSIM before you leave Dublin
Buy your HelloRoam eSIM for Rio de Janeiro at home, scan the QR code over Wi-Fi, and switch on data when you land at Galeão International Airport. You step off the plane already connected on local 4G LTE. No queuing at airport telecom shops.
Keep your Irish number live
On a dual-SIM phone, leave your Three Ireland, Vodafone Ireland, Eir, or GoMo SIM active for calls and texts. Use HelloRoam for data in Rio de Janeiro. People back home can still ring your Irish number without international charges.
Download offline maps first
Save Google Maps or Maps.me for Rio de Janeiro offline before you fly. Offline navigation uses no data and keeps working even where signal is patchy. It's a handy backup when you arrive and need directions quickly.
Watch your data usage
The HelloRoam app shows your balance in real time. You get alerts at 80% and 95% usage so there are no nasty surprises. Top up inside the app if you need more data in Rio de Janeiro, no reinstall needed.
Save emergency numbers offline
The emergency number in most countries is 112. In Rio de Janeiro it is worth checking the local number too. Save these offline before you travel. Emergency calls work on any available network regardless of your HelloRoam data balance.
