Coverage thins out in the Amazon, on the dunes of Maranhao and on long roads through the interior, whichever network you are on. Airalo rides TIM. Saily does not name its network on its listing. Ringo Light rides a local partner network. For the cities and the beaches, any of them works; for remote places, download offline maps before you go.
