| Country coverage | Bolivia only. These offers don't cover neighbouring countries or onward border crossings, so buy separate data for each other country. |

| Data & validity | Allowances from 100 MB up to 20 GB, with 7, 15 or 30 day validity depending on the plan. These are fixed totals, not daily renewals; the key features to compare are total data and validity. |

| Hotspot | The listed networks support hotspot. Any device you connect draws from the same data allowance. |
| Your phone | Needs an eSIM-compatible, network-unlocked phone. Check your exact model and regional version, because compatible phones vary by device. |

Frequently asked questions.
Answers to common setup and buying questions.
Which Bolivia data plan should I choose?
Start with how long you'll be there and how much hotel Wi-Fi you can lean on. For a quick city visit on a short holiday, 1 GB for 7 days at €4.65 is usually enough. For 2 weeks of travel, 3 GB for 15 days at €13.58 gives more headroom, and 5 GB for 30 days at €22.53 suits a longer stay. The best value depends on your real usage, and the best price per gigabyte only matters if you'll actually use that data, so compare costs rather than grabbing the largest plan; a family sharing one hotspot drains data faster than a single tourist using maps.
Which mobile networks can I use in Bolivia?
Listed networks: Tigo Bolivia. Connects to 4G/LTE where available. 5G is not confirmed on this plan. Speeds and signal vary with your phone, location and network conditions.
Are the 100 MB and 500 MB data plans sufficient for a trip?
The 100 MB plan is the cheapest listed option and the 500 MB plan isn't much more, but both are small total allowances, affordable only for very light use. They suit brief messages or occasional checks when most of your use stays on Wi-Fi. Maps, app updates and photo uploads can empty them in one day, so for daily travel data use, compare the GB data plans and pick a validity that covers your stay.
Will my phone work with this eSIM?
Check that your exact model and regional variant support eSIM and that the phone is network unlocked. On iOS, a compatible iPhone can add the eSIM card using a supplied QR code or carrier app; on Android, you add the eSIM card through the SIM settings. It's a virtual sim card, so there's nothing physical to insert. Follow the manufacturer's steps and install over a stable connection before you travel.
When does the plan validity start?
Follow the activation instructions that come with your plan, because installing the eSIM and starting its validity aren't necessarily the same event. Keep those instructions offline, then select the travel line for mobile data when you're ready to use it at your destination.
Can I continue using WhatsApp and receive bank codes?
You can keep your existing WhatsApp account and let it run over the travel eSIM service's internet connection. This is a data-only plan, so it doesn't include ordinary calls or SMS. Bank verification texts still depend on your regular SIM, carrier and bank, so check home-carrier charges before leaving that line switched on.
Can I share the data with my laptop via hotspot?
The listed networks support hotspot. Any device you connect draws from the same data allowance. Tethering a laptop draws from the same total allowance, so switch on the data hotspot only when you need it and pause cloud backups and system updates first if you want the plan to last.
Can I rely on this eSIM for an Uyuni salt-flat tour?
Don't plan a remote excursion around continuous reception. Confirm the tour meeting point, route and return with your operator while you're connected, then keep those details offline. Tigo Bolivia is the listed network; expect 4G/LTE where available and treat 5G as not confirmed. The plan doesn't guarantee coverage across the salt flats or highland roads.
Does the plan cover me if I cross the border?
These offers cover Bolivia only. Arrange separate data for each other country on your itinerary, including transit stops where you'll need mobile data. A regional name or a shared operator brand doesn't extend this country plan.
Is the data unlimited, or does it reset every day?
No. Each plan is a fixed total allowance from 100 MB to 20 GB, shared across its validity and any hotspot devices, and it doesn't reset daily. There's no 1 day option and no 14 days offer in the listed range; the shortest validity is 7 days, and a 30 day plan isn't the same as one month. There's no monthly subscription either, and YouTube or video calls can empty an allowance fast.
What should I check if data doesn't connect?
Check that you're in Bolivia, the eSIM line is enabled and selected for mobile data, and the plan still has data and validity left. Apply the supplied roaming and APN instructions to the travel line. Try airplane mode briefly or restart the phone, then move to another location if the signal quality is weak. Keep the eSIM installed while you look for help.
Can I add more data or request a refund?
Check the pricing and options supplied with your order before you buy online. Buying another plan doesn't automatically extend an existing one or move its remaining data across. Whether you can top up, and how activation and refunds work, depend on the applicable terms, so keep your order reference and setup details ready if you need to ask. These are prepaid offers, and 'no contract' describes the usual prepaid setup rather than a confirmed seller policy, so read your purchase terms.
