eSIM data plans for Brazil

Two ways to get data for Brazil: a set amount that lasts up to 30 days, or unlimited data sold by the day. TIM carries the fixed data plans, VIVO carries the unlimited ones.

Fixed data plans, for a set trip with predictable use

The TIM fixed data plans suit someone who wants to fix their data cost before landing, checking maps, messaging apps, and browsing without watching a meter. If the data runs out before the trip does, a top-up on the same eSIM restores it, so a smaller size is not the final amount for a trip that stretches longer than expected.

Unlimited plans, for heavier or less predictable use

The VIVO plans are sold by the day, at a flat unlimited rate for the period chosen. Streaming video, video calls, or working online for stretches suits this style better than staying inside a data allowance. Each plan carries a fair use policy: past a daily amount, speed for that day is reduced, then returns to normal the next day.

Installing before the trip

Validity begins the first time the eSIM connects to a network in Brazil, not when it is bought or installed. It can be installed as soon as it is purchased and left ready on the phone until arrival, without losing any of the days or gigabytes it holds.

Sharing the connection

Hotspot and tethering work on every plan, fixed data or unlimited, so a single eSIM can supply a laptop or a second phone alongside the one it is installed on.

Travellers spending time in São Paulo also have WiFi Livre SP, a free public network the city government runs at parks, plazas, and cultural and sports centres, with no login required.
