Using mobile data in Uruguay
Your eSIM connects to a local network in Uruguay, so maps, messages, rides, and translation work like they do at home. Data roaming must be switched on for the eSIM line. That is normal for travel eSIMs and it does not cost extra.
Distances in South America are big and bus rides are long. An eSIM keeps maps, translation, and messages working the whole way.
Mobile networks in Uruguay
eSIM plans for Uruguay connect through Entel, Claro and Movistar, depending on the plan. 5G is available where the network has built it out. Elsewhere you get 4G.
These plans can connect through Entel, Claro, and Movistar. Entel and Movistar reach 5G where they have deployed it, while Claro runs on 4G here, so speeds vary a little by which network your eSIM uses.
Coverage is strong across Montevideo, Punta del Este, and the developed south. Uruguay is compact and fairly evenly populated, so data holds up well along the main routes and the coast.

A compact country to cover
Distances here are short, and the connection stays steady between Montevideo and the coastal resort towns. A mid size plan handles a week of maps and messaging comfortably.
The unlimited short windows suit summer trips to the beach where you might stream and post a lot.
Messaging and codes
WhatsApp is the everyday messenger for reaching hotels, drivers, and rentals. It runs on data with no local number needed.
The eSIM is data only, so keep your home SIM in the phone for any SMS verification.
