Stepping off the plane in Rio with a dead phone is no way to start a trip. With a HelloSIM eSIM you arrive already online, ready to call a ride, pull up a map, or message home before you even reach baggage claim.

FAQ
Will my phone work with an eSIM? Most phones from the last few years support eSIM, including recent iPhones, Samsung Galaxy, and Google Pixel models. Check your settings for an eSIM or digital SIM option.
When should I install it? Install before you fly using home Wi-Fi, then simply switch it on after you land in Brazil. Setup takes a couple of minutes.
Can I keep WhatsApp on my number? Yes. Your WhatsApp stays tied to your usual number. The eSIM only provides data, so your account and chats are unchanged.
