Staying online from Buenos Aires to Patagonia
In Argentina the plan uses the Movistar and Claro 4G networks. In Buenos Aires, Cordoba, Mendoza and Bariloche the connection usually works well. In Patagonia outside the towns, on long stretches of road and in the Andes coverage is weaker, and you should not count on the network on hiking trails.
As well as maps, ride apps and messages, data helps you follow flight and bus times, since delays happen. WhatsApp is widely used, and hosts and guides reply there. Save your bookings and border-crossing details on your phone if you are travelling on to Chile. Note that the Argentina plan works only in Argentina, not across the border, so check Chile's own plan separately.
Getting a local SIM usually requires a passport and registration, and there may be a queue. The eSIM is installed beforehand and the data starts on arrival. Your own number stays in the phone and calls go through data. Roaming on your own plan is often dearer than a separate data plan, so an eSIM suits a tour.
