Where these estimates come from

Planning examples, not guaranteed totals. We use 1 GB = 1,000 MB, round down complete files and minutes, and exclude overhead, retries and background traffic.

5 MB is Verizon’s high-resolution photo example. Your files can be smaller after compression or much larger as originals or RAW. Check the actual file size on your phone. Verizon ↗
63 MB models a 1-minute H.264 Full HD export at 24–30 fps using YouTube’s recommended video and stereo audio bitrates. It is not a universal camera-file size or the cost of watching a clip. YouTube ↗
Viewing examples use Netflix’s published rates: up to 0.7 GB/hr at Medium and up to 3 GB/hr in HD. Other apps and quality settings can differ; these are not YouTube playback rates. Netflix ↗
The call example uses Zoom’s 1:1 720p bandwidth: 1.2 Mbps up and 1.2 Mbps down, together about 1.08 GB/hr. Group calls and higher resolutions can use more. Zoom ↗

On iOS 26, a Turn On Travel eSIM notification may appear after arrival. Choose the travel line for data and check whether you also want to keep your home line active. If no notification appears, use the manual steps below.

Check when your package starts: at payment, installation or first connection. If it starts on installation, install nearer your trip. Installing later does not postpone a package that started at payment.

These screens show settings on the models named below. Your operator and eSIM labels will differ. Screens retain the source language; each caption translates and identifies the control to use. Tap any image for a closer look.

iPhone 17 · iOS 26 · Screen source ↗

Before your trip · install the eSIM

Use a stable Wi-Fi connection or hotspot. Your exact phone model must support eSIM and be unlocked for other operators.

01
Open your eSIM installation
Connect the phone you will use for your eSIM to Wi-Fi. Choose one of the two options below. If this eSIM is already installed, skip to choosing the line for mobile data.

The app or email on this phone
In the Letisim app, open My eSIMs, choose your purchased eSIM and tap Install. On the preparation screen, tap Copy name and install.
Or open your eSIM email on this same phone and tap Install eSIM. If the link opens your order page first, use the installation button shown there.

A QR code on another screen
Open your eSIM’s QR code from the email or order on a computer, tablet or another phone. Point the camera of the phone you are installing the eSIM on at the code, then tap the installation prompt.

Both options lead to the phone’s system setup. Continue with step 2.

The button or camera did not open setup?
You can add the eSIM by scanning its QR code in Settings. Follow the path below, choose the QR scanner and use the code for your own purchase. If the QR is on this same phone, see the options without a second screen below the guide.
iPhone: Settings → Mobile Service / Cellular → Add eSIM → Use QR Code → Scan QR Code → Continue
Google Pixel / Android: Settings → Network and Internet → SIMs → Add SIM → Set up an eSIM → scan your QR → Set up
Samsung: Settings → Connections → SIM manager → Add eSIM → Scan QR code → Add → Next
Huawei: Settings → Mobile network → SIM management → SIM 2 → Add eSIM → Add eSIM → Scan code → Add this eSIM
Honor: Settings → Mobile network → SIM management → Add eSIM → Add eSIM or transfer from your device → Set up an eSIM → Set up

After scanning, tap Continue to confirm installation of your eSIM. Screen source ↗
03
Give the new line a clear name
For example, “Letisim Bolivia”, so you can distinguish it from your home SIM. This is a label on your phone; it does not change the number or plan.
iPhone: Settings → Cellular / Mobile Service → new eSIM → Cellular Plan Label → Custom
Google Pixel / Android: Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → new eSIM → Edit name
Samsung: Settings → Connections → SIM manager → new eSIM → Name
Huawei: SIM management → SIM 2 → your eSIM → Card name. You can keep the existing label if no rename option is shown.
Honor: SIM management → SIM 2 → eSIM name. Rename it if your MagicOS version offers this option.
Xiaomi / Redmi: Manage eSIM → your plan → Change nickname, if available.
Motorola: Open the new eSIM in SIM settings and use the edit-name option if available.
OPPO: Open the installed profile in eSIM settings and change its label if your ColorOS version allows it.
OnePlus: Open the installed eSIM and edit its name if the option is available.
Line name: Letisim Bolivia

No second screen for your QR code?

If the scanner has a gallery button, save the QR from your order and choose that image. If your order includes manual installation details, choose Enter details manually and copy the fields exactly. The available methods depend on your phone and eSIM. If neither is available, contact support; do not scan a sample code from this guide or delete an installed eSIM.

Menu names can differ by phone model and system version.

Mobile operators in Bolivia

Compare network coverage separately from speed. A national result does not predict reception inside your hotel or along a mountain road.

This comparison covers Entel, Tigo and Viva. Check which network is listed in your chosen eSIM package, then compare coverage for the places on your itinerary.

Coverage Experience is a score, not a percentage of territory. These dated averages are not promised speeds for your connection.

The network in your chosen package is what matters. This country comparison does not mean every plan includes every operator. 5G depends on the package, phone and local coverage.

Coverage across Bolivia

🇧🇴 Bolivia

La Paz
Lake Titicaca and Isla del Sol
Sucre
Rurrenabaque and Madidi

La Paz

La Paz is a practical place to test your eSIM before onward trips. City riding, taxis and cable-car routes benefit from having data ready, and the ATT and tourism sources describe the city as a major tourist gateway and cable-transport hub. [1] [7]

Lake Titicaca and Isla del Sol

For boat crossings and island stays, download offline maps in advance and assume that signal can change as you move between lakeside towns, boat docks and the island itself. Keep local transport details saved before departure. [8]

Sucre

Sucre is a useful base for city walks and day trips. A data plan helps with maps, messaging and ride-hailing while moving between the historic center, bus terminals and nearby attractions. [9]

Rurrenabaque and Madidi

This Amazon route usually means boats, lodges and longer transfers, so it is sensible to install and test the eSIM before leaving La Paz or Santa Cruz. Save reservations and meeting points offline. [10]

What to expect from mobile data in Bolivia

Bolivia’s mobile market is built around three national operators confirmed by the telecom regulator and market sources: Entel, Tigo and Viva. Public coverage tools are available for Entel and Tigo, which makes it possible to check service by operator before you choose a plan. The practical takeaway for travelers is simple: compare the network you expect to use with the places on your itinerary, especially if you are moving between La Paz, the lake region, Sucre and the Amazon side of the country.

A measurement snapshot from Opensignal’s November 2024 report gave Entel the strongest Coverage Experience score among the three operators, and Entel also led the report’s Download Speed Experience figure. That is a useful reference point, but it is still a dated study, not a promise of identical performance on every street, road or excursion route. For trip planning, the smarter approach is to use the operator maps, keep offline maps ready, and choose a data amount that matches how much you rely on ride-hailing, messaging and navigation.

Useful apps and travel tools

Yala Mi Teleférico ↗

Official app for using Mi Teleférico services in La Paz, including virtual card functions. Useful if your itinerary includes cable-car travel in the city. [13]

App La Paz Bus ↗

Transit app for La Paz Bus with route, stop and arrival-time information. Helpful for city movement when you want to avoid guessing schedules. [12]

Pasaporte Áreas Protegidas ↗

Government conservation-passport app for visiting protected areas, recording trips and collecting digital stamps. Useful when your itinerary includes nature destinations. [14]

Before you buy

Tourist routes are spread across very different landscapes

Bolivia’s tourism destinations include high-altitude La Paz and the Cordillera Real, the lake region around Titicaca, colonial Sucre, the Amazon route to Rurrenabaque and Madidi, and the eastern heritage area of Chiquitos. A single data plan can cover all of them, but the way you travel changes what you should prepare for: city navigation, transfers, boat crossings or multi-hour road trips. [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]

Coverage checks are operator-specific

Bolivia’s regulator identifies Entel, Tigo and Viva as the mobile operators to compare, and public coverage tools are available for Entel and Tigo on their official websites. That means travellers can check service pages before choosing a plan, but real-world experience still depends on the exact route, device and network generation available at the place of use. [1] [3] [4]

06 / FAQ

Questions about eSIM in Bolivia

Which mobile networks should I compare before buying a Bolivia eSIM?

The regulator and market sources point to three national mobile operators: Entel, Tigo and Viva. Entel and Tigo have public coverage tools on their official websites, so you can check their service pages before deciding which plan matches your route. That matters more than choosing by brand alone, because your experience can differ between city streets, highways and lake or mountain transfers. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Is one network clearly the best everywhere in Bolivia?

No. Opensignal’s November 2024 report showed Entel leading Coverage Experience and Download Speed Experience, while Tigo and Viva were close on some other measures. That is a useful snapshot, but not a universal rule for every trip. For travelers, the better question is which operator fits the cities and routes you will actually use. [5]

Where is mobile data most useful on a Bolivia trip?

It is especially useful in La Paz for rides and cable-car travel, around Titicaca for transfers and boat logistics, in Sucre for walking around the historic center, and on the Rurrenabaque and Madidi route where trip details are easier to manage when saved on the phone. The common thread is navigation and coordination, not just browsing. [7] [8] [9] [10]

Should I rely on signal in remote nature areas?

You should plan conservatively. Bolivia’s tourism pages show that some of the most attractive itineraries involve mountains, lakes and Amazon travel, which often means changing conditions rather than a single fixed network pattern. Download offline maps and keep essential booking details saved locally, because that is what helps when you move between towns, docks and lodges. [8] [10] [11]

Which apps are worth having before I arrive?

For La Paz, the most relevant apps on their official websites are Yala Mi Teleférico and App La Paz Bus. If your trip includes protected areas, the government’s Pasaporte Áreas Protegidas app can also be useful. These apps help with local transport and trip organization, but they work best when you already have data ready on arrival. [12] [13] [14]

When should I install the eSIM?

Install it before you need it, ideally while you still have a stable connection. Product validity can start at purchase, installation or first connection depending on the plan, so it is safer to set everything up in advance and then switch to the eSIM when you land or when you are ready to use it. That also lets you keep your home SIM separate from travel data. [13] [14]
