Quick answer: an eSIM is the easiest way to have data in Brazil, from the arrivals hall in São Paulo or Rio to a ride across a city you do not know. As of 27 October 2026, Roamaly's Brazil plans run from $3 to $133: 6 day passes from $3 a day, 10 fixed bundles from $3, and no unlimited plan.

Do I need an eSIM for Brazil?

For most visitors, yes.

  • A local SIM is a shop counter and paperwork on arrival, and one country's card.
  • Getting around runs on data. Brazil's cities are large, and ride-hailing and navigation are how most visitors cross them.
  • Your own carrier's roaming is charged by the day. Find your daily rate in your carrier's app and multiply it by your trip length; that is the number to compare against.

How much does a Brazil eSIM cost?

Read from our catalogue on 27 October 2026, in US dollars:

FromExamples
Day passes (6)$3 a day500 MB $3, 1 GB $3, 2 GB $6, 3 GB $8, 5 GB $12, 10 GB $27 a day
Fixed bundles (10)$31 GB for 7 days $3, 3 GB for 15 days $8, 5 GB for 30 days $13, 10 GB for 30 days $23, 20 GB for 30 days $44, 50 GB for 30 days $104
Unlimited—none

The top of the range is not a Brazil plan. Two bundles are Global plans — 1 GB over 365 days for $14, and 20 GB over 90 days for $133. The dearest Brazil plan is 50 GB for 30 days at $104.

A week or a month? A 7-day bundle starts at $3 and a 30-day bundle at $8, so a short trip does not have to pay for a month.

Roamaly does not sell an unlimited Brazil plan. If unmetered data is a requirement, buy it from a provider that sells it.

How to set up your Brazil eSIM

  1. Check your phone takes an eSIM, and is unlocked — before you travel. Check if your phone is compatible
  2. Choose a Brazil plan, and buy before you fly; it stays dormant until it first connects.
  3. Install it at home, on Wi-Fi, from the QR code in your email.
  4. Switch it on when you land, and enable data roaming for that line.
  5. Keep your own SIM in the phone so calls and texts to your number still arrive.

Coverage in Brazil

Our Brazil plans connect through local networks. We do not publish a coverage map. The pattern visitors report:

  • The state capitals and big cities — São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, Brasília — are well served.
  • The coastal tourist routes are generally good.
  • The Amazon, the Pantanal and the rural interior are thin or absent. Download maps before any trip into them.

Tips for staying connected in Brazil

  • Download offline maps before any Amazon or Pantanal trip.
  • Use ride-hailing apps to get around the cities.
  • Keep a translation app to hand, with Portuguese downloaded for offline use.
  • Turn off your home SIM's data so nothing roams by accident.
  • Install before you leave home, on your own Wi-Fi, rather than at the airport.

Why buy your Brazil eSIM from Roamaly

  • Both plan shapes, from a 7-day bundle to a month.
  • No registration and no shop — connected from arrival.
  • A price you know before you go, read from the catalogue and dated.
