Each Checkout link opens payment with that plan selected: only the email address and payment remain.

## How it works

1. Choose a plan and pay on the product page (card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal or crypto).
2. The eSIM QR code arrives by email; install it before you travel (Settings > Mobile/Cellular > Add eSIM).
3. On arrival, select the eSIM for mobile data and turn on data roaming for it. Your own SIM stays in the phone for calls and SMS.

Data-only: the eSIM has no phone number. Requires an eSIM-compatible, carrier-unlocked phone.

## A Chile eSIM for travellers from the UK

British Airways flies non-stop from Heathrow to Santiago, about 14 and a half hours, several times a week. Install the eSIM before you leave and it connects when you land: one plan covers Santiago, the Atacama, the lakes and Patagonia, wherever the networks reach. It is data only, so your UK number stays reachable for bank texts.

No visa is needed for up to 90 days. You get a tourist card on arrival - keep it safe and hand it back when you leave - and your passport only needs to be valid until your departure. Rapa Nui (Easter Island) has its own entry form and needs a return ticket (gov.uk, updated 9 October 2026).

## A time difference that moves twice a year

Chile and the UK change their clocks at opposite ends of the year, so the gap moves: Santiago is three hours behind the UK in the British winter, five behind from early April to early September, and four behind in the weeks between. Chile moves its clocks on 6 September 2026 and 3 April 2027. Sockets are types C and L - bring an adaptor.

On a UK plan, EE charges £8 a day (£40 a week), O2 Travel £7, Vodafone £8 and Three £5 on most plans. The Foreign Office warns of taxi card-reader scams: check the amount, including the number of zeros, before you pay.

## FAQ

### What is the time difference between the UK and Chile?

It changes through the year: three hours behind the UK in the British winter, five hours behind from early April to early September, and four in between, because the two countries change clocks at opposite seasons.
