When does my eSIM validity start?
Your validity period starts only when the eSIM connects to a local network in Uruguay. You can purchase and install it earlier - it won't activate until you land and the phone detects the network.
Does the eSIM support calls and SMS?
NoveSIM Uruguay plans are data-only. You can still make calls through apps like WhatsApp, Viber, FaceTime, Messenger, and others.
Do I need to change APN settings?
Usually no — the APN configures automatically. If needed, the APN is typically:
APN: data.esim
(no username, no password)
Does the eSIM work immediately after installation?
Yes. After scanning the QR and installing the eSIM, it becomes available on your phone. It will auto-activate once you arrive in Uruguay and turn on mobile data & data roaming.
Can I use the eSIM in multiple countries?
If the plan you selected is regional or global, it will work in all included countries. If it is Uruguay-only, it will work exclusively there.
What if my eSIM doesn’t work when I arrive?
Try the following quick checks:
