Why use an eSIM in Brazil

Cheaper than roaming
Carrier roaming bills a daily fee whether you use data or not. A prepaid plan bills once, upfront.
Working the moment you land
No hunting for a shop, no passport registration, no airport queue at midnight.
Your number stays yours
Dual SIM keeps calls, texts, and WhatsApp on your home line while data rides on Jelly.

Getting online in Brazil

  1. Buy a plan and scan the QR code from your email while you still have Wi-Fi.

  2. Land in Brazil, switch the Jelly line on, and set it as your data line.

  3. Turn off data roaming on your home line so your carrier cannot bill you.

Brazil eSIM questions

When does my Brazil plan start counting?

Validity starts when the eSIM first connects to a network in Brazil, not when you buy it. Installing early costs you nothing.

Can I make calls in Brazil?

Jelly plans are data plans. Calls work over WhatsApp, FaceTime, or any app you already use, and your home number stays reachable on your other SIM.

Can I tether a laptop in Brazil?

Yes on most compatible phones. Tethering uses data quickly, so pick a larger plan if a laptop is coming with you.

What if I run out of data in Brazil?

Top up from your dashboard. The top up applies to the eSIM already installed, so there is nothing new to scan.
