eSIM for Travelers at Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP)

📱 What is an eSIM and why is it ideal for travel?

An eSIM (or virtual SIM) is the digital version of a physical SIM card. It can be easily activated by scanning a QR code or through an app — no need to fiddle with the SIM slot or search for stores upon arrival.

Main advantages of the eSIM

• Instant connection: You can activate your data plan as soon as you land.
• Easy setup: No tools or tech support needed — just an initial internet connection.
• Dual SIM compatible: You can keep using your regular line for calls while using the eSIM for data.
• More secure: Since it's not physical, it can't be lost or damaged.

⚙️ Requirements for using an eSIM

Before purchasing an eSIM, make sure you meet the following conditions:

• Compatible phone: Models like iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel, and mid-to-high-end Samsung Galaxy phones are usually supported. Check the official list.
• Unlocked phone: It should not be locked to your mobile carrier. If you bought it on a contract, check whether it accepts eSIMs from other providers.
• Connection for setup: You'll need Wi-Fi or a temporary data connection to download and install the eSIM profile. At Aeroparque, you can use the free Wi-Fi network for this step.

💡 Use cases for eSIM at Aeroparque Jorge Newbery

Upon arrival (Arrivals area)

As soon as you turn off airplane mode, you can order a taxi or ride-hailing service. Aeroparque has complex access areas that are frequently under renovation, so having a connection from the get-go is key to locating pickup points or using transportation apps.

During a layover or long wait

Although the airport offers Wi-Fi, many travelers say it's not always reliable. Having your own data connection lets you work, stream content, or stay in touch without depending on crowded public networks.

Before boarding

You can install your destination country eSIM — in this case, Argentina — while waiting at the gate. That way, you'll be connected instantly upon landing, with no need to find a local store. If you're departing from Aeroparque to another country, you can check Holafly's official website or use their mobile app. Everything is sent by email and you're ready to go in seconds.
