A very long country, big differences in coverage
In Chile the plan uses the Claro and Movistar networks. In Santiago, Valparaiso and the other big cities the connection usually works best. Speed varies by network and area, but in cities it generally suffices for maps, messages and light browsing.
Chile is more than 4,000 kilometres long, so coverage varies a lot between the northern desert, the cities of the centre and Patagonia in the south. In the Atacama Desert, in Torres del Paine National Park and elsewhere in Patagonia coverage is weaker and the roads have long dead zones. Download an offline map and save your bookings on the phone before you set out. Note that the Chile plan works only in Chile, not on the other side of the border.
A local SIM can usually be bought with a passport, but there may be a queue. The eSIM is installed beforehand and the data starts on arrival. Your own number stays in the phone and WhatsApp calls run over data. Roaming on your own plan is often dearer than a separate data plan, so an eSIM suits a trip here.
