Is an eSIM Better Than a Chile SIM card for International Travelers?
Skip the SIM card for Chile airport counters at Santiago's SCL and land with data already live on your phone. Airport SIM desks at Arturo Merino Benitez charge $8-20 for tourist plans, and setup requires ID registration under Chilean telecom rules. HelloRoam connects to WOM from $4.49 with QR activation in two minutes at home.
HelloRoam activates without the ID document that a prepaid SIM card Chile counter requires for registration. Chilean regulations mandate ID registration for all SIM cards, which means an extra step and wait at the airport desk. Scan the HelloRoam QR at home and land at SCL with data running from the gate.
Unlike a tourist sim card Chile vendors sell at the airport, HelloRoam works on WOM 5G networks from Santiago to the Atacama and Patagonia regions. Physical SIM counters at SCL close at night and cannot assist with top-ups or plan changes remotely. HelloRoam offers 24/7 email support on every order.

Cat
On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
