Newcomer Sim Card for short stay tourists

[ArtmikeGG]

Do you know how I can get a SIM card from which company to get data? Any with e-Sim? I've been using rouming data but I've seen that the chip is cheaper!

Hello @ArtmikeGG

I leave you the pages of the 3 main companies in Argentina so that you can evaluate which one is best for you:

Rouming currently costs about the same as buying a new SIM card. The only good thing about the SIM card is that for calls in Argentina they don't charge you for international calls!

If it is for a short time I recommend you not to buy if it is a stay of 1 month or more I would recommend you to buy the SIM card!

Does anyone recommend one company over another for SIM or eSIM? Which is better Claro, Personal or Movistar?

I would go for anything but Movistar. I don't know anything about the other companies but my experience with Movistar has been so bad I can't imagine anything could be worse even in Argentina

Personal is good. I use them and don't have any issues or problems with them.

Is Personal the best to use. Anyone have any experience with Airalo?

If you're just going to be here a short stay Airalo works perfectly. If you will be here a while Clara's plan is great. Very cheap internet service .

Claro can be a hassle waiting in line and I think you still need your passport to register.
