The best eSIM for Chile in 2026. Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Chile, priced on the same day: two weeks unlimited for $44.99, a month for $86.99, which to buy.
Prices read on 28 September 2026. Six travel eSIMs sell a Chile plan and get most of the traffic for this search. We priced all six on the same day, for a week in Santiago and Valparaiso, two weeks from the Atacama down to Patagonia, and a month, and read the fine print on unlimited. Here is where each one wins, and where we do not.
Ringo Light: Cheapest unlimited for two weeks. Unlimited data with no speed cap for 2 weeks at $44.99, one payment, nothing renews. Airalo asks $50 and Holafly $50.50 for 15 days. For a month we charge $86.99, and Ubigi is $18.99 cheaper at $68.

Chile is long, and most first trips run two weeks: Santiago and Valparaiso, a flight north to the Atacama, a flight south to Patagonia. For 15 days of unlimited, Airalo asks $50 and Holafly $50.50. Nomad stops at 10 days for $45. Ubigi sells no 15-day unlimited for Chile and Saily no Chile unlimited at all. Ringo Light charges $44.99 for 2 weeks, one payment, nothing renews.
For a month the order changes. Ubigi sells 30 days at $68, with 60 GB at full speed and 2 Mbps after that. Ringo Light's 30 days is $86.99, $18.99 more. Saily sells unlimited only on its Global plan, listed at $59.99 for 30 days in June. Airalo asks $92 and Holafly $95.90. We would rather you read that here than at checkout.
Read what unlimited means before you pick. Airalo gives 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps. Nomad gives 2 GB a day. Ubigi gives a fixed amount, then 2 Mbps. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone and limits sharing to 1 GB a day. Ringo Light has no speed cap: the 2 weeks starts with 10 GB and the 30 days with 20 GB, and when you have used 80% we add 10 GB once and charge the $44.99 top-up. So a heavy two weeks with us costs $89.98, more than any rival's 15 days, and a heavy month costs $131.98, more than any rival's month. If you will stream every day, Ubigi's 60 GB month is the better buy in Chile.
For a short trip, Ringo Light sells no 3-day or 7-day plan. Airalo and Holafly sell 3 days of unlimited at $12.50, and Ubigi a week with 20 GB at full speed for $25.
Chile has four national networks: Entel, Movistar, Claro and WOM. All four cover Santiago, Valparaiso and the towns of the central valley. Coverage thins on the desert roads of the Atacama, on the Carretera Austral and inside the Patagonian parks, whichever network you are on; on the trails of Torres del Paine there is almost none. Every rival here rides Movistar, and Airalo adds WOM. For the cities any of them works; for the far north and the far south, download offline maps before you leave town.
Ubigi, $24 for 10 GB. The cheapest 10 GB, on Movistar, installed by QR code, no app needed. For 20 GB it sells 25 GB at $48.
Nomad, $25 for 10 GB. The cheapest 20 GB at $39, on Movistar.
Saily, $27.99 for 10 GB. 20 GB at $48.99. Its listing is from June; saily.com would not load for us.
Airalo, $28 for 10 GB. Its Altoque plan, on Movistar and WOM: 20 GB for $48, buckets from $4.50 for 1 GB.
Ringo Light, no buckets. Our 2 weeks starts with 10 GB for $44.99 and our 30 days with 20 GB for $86.99. For a fixed amount of data, Ubigi, Nomad, Saily and Airalo are all cheaper in Chile. Buy Ringo Light for unlimited, not for a bucket.
Ringo Light is our own data eSIM, sold to fund the full Ringo, one plan that works everywhere with your own number ported onto it. For Chile it sells two trips, both unlimited data with no speed cap: 2 weeks at $44.99, starting with 10 GB, and 30 days at $86.99, starting with 20 GB. Each adds 10 GB once at 80%, charged at $44.99. One payment, nothing renews. The eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan, no app.
In Chile it is the cheapest two weeks of unlimited of the six. It is not the cheapest month: Ubigi is $18.99 less. One more thing we would rather tell you here: our own Latin America trip covers Chile too, and on the same day it cost $29.99 for 2 weeks and $59.99 for 30 days, on one eSIM that also works in Argentina, Peru and Bolivia. The card to buy it is just below this article.

You need your own number to keep ringing. None of these travel plans does that. The full Ringo, which Ringo Light funds, ports the number you have.
What to do in Chile, and what your phone needs for it. Eight places most first trips include, from the Atacama desert down to Patagonia and out to Rapa Nui, with the one thing your data does for you at each. Signal is good in the cities; in the desert, the parks and on the islands it drops, so offline maps matter.
Cerro San Cristobal, Santiago. A hill park in the middle of the capital, with a funicular up to the statue of the Virgin and a view over the city to the Andes. Go on a clear morning, before the haze builds. Uber and Cabify both work in Santiago, and a route app tells you which Metro line and exit to take.
Cerro Alegre and Cerro Concepcion, Valparaiso. Painted houses and street murals on the hills above the port, a UNESCO site reached by old funicular lifts. About an hour and a half by bus from Santiago. The lanes twist and double back. Keep a map open to find the next lift down.
Valle de la Luna, San Pedro de Atacama. Salt and clay ridges and a great dune in the desert just outside San Pedro. Most people go in the late afternoon for the sunset. Tickets are sold online ahead of time. Buy yours in town, where the signal is, and keep it on your phone.
Saltos del Petrohue, Near Puerto Varas, Lake District. Rapids of green water over black volcanic rock, with the cone of Osorno volcano behind. An easy day trip from Puerto Varas. Check the bus times back to Puerto Varas on your phone before you set out.
Pucon and Villarrica volcano, Araucania. A lake town under a smoking volcano, with hot springs, rafting and the guided climb to the crater in summer. Volcano climbs are called off for weather at short notice, and operators confirm on WhatsApp.
The palafitos of Castro, Chiloe. Wooden houses on stilts over the water, the image of the island. A ferry from the mainland and a drive south brings you to Castro. Check the Chacao ferry and the tide on your phone; the palafitos look best at high tide.
Torres del Paine, Patagonia. Granite peaks over glacial lakes, walked as day hikes or the W trek over several days. The season runs from October to April. There is almost no signal on the trails. Download offline maps and your park and refuge bookings in Puerto Natales.
Ahu Tongariki, Rapa Nui (Easter Island). Fifteen moai stand in a row on one platform with their backs to the sea. Come at sunrise, when the sun comes up behind them. Signal is best in Hanga Roa. Save an offline map of the island before you drive out to the sites.
We priced Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Chile on 28 September 2026, all on the same day, in US dollars. Each rival's price comes from its own website where it showed dollars, otherwise from an esimdb.com listing, and every source and its date is listed below. Ringo Light's prices come from the catalogue our checkout charges.
We compare the trips people actually book: a week, two weeks and a month of unlimited data, and a 10 GB bucket. We read each brand's fair use and speed rules and quote them as the brands state them. We did not run speed tests, so this page makes no speed claims for any brand.
Ringo Light is our own product. We put it in the table on the same terms as everyone else, and where a rival is the better buy the page says so.
Left out: Maya Mobile, we could not read its own prices for this country on the day, so it stays out rather than being guessed.

Airalo rides Movistar and WOM, and Holafly, Nomad and Ubigi ride Movistar. Saily does not name its network on its listing. All cover Santiago, Valparaiso and the central valley; in the Atacama and Patagonia coverage thins on every network.
Every brand has a limit somewhere. Airalo slows you after 3 GB a day, Nomad after 2 GB, Ubigi after its fixed full-speed amount. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone. Ringo Light has no speed cap: it starts with 10 or 20 GB and adds 10 GB once at 80%, charged.
A Chile-only plan, ours included, stops at the border, which matters on the Patagonia crossing between Torres del Paine and El Calafate. Airalo's Latamlink, Nomad's Latin America plan, Saily's Latin America plan, Ubigi's Best LATAM and Ringo Light's Latin America trip all cover both countries.
