Global eSIM: your worldwide connection without borders

Traveling and staying connected has never been easier. Inter’s Global eSIM represents a true revolution in international connectivity — offering freedom, convenience, and affordability for people who live across borders.

With it, you can keep your number, data, and connection anywhere in the world — without relying on physical SIM cards or paying high roaming fees.

What is the Global eSIM?

The Global eSIM is a virtual SIM that replaces the traditional physical SIM card. It’s already built into your smartphone and can be activated digitally, with no need to swap SIMs when traveling between countries.

For Inter customers in the United States, the Global eSIM is the perfect solution for traveling with reliable international connectivity— removing physical barriers and simplifying the experience for those who need to stay online anytime, anywhere.

This technology allows you to activate and manage plans directly in the Inter app, with secure and flexible options. You can even keep multiple carrier profiles, making communication management much more efficient.

Available plan options

Inter’s Global eSIM was designed to adapt to different travel styles and user needs.

There are three main types of plans, varying in duration, data volume, and coverage area — always with transparent prices that you can check directly in the super app before purchasing.

Local plans

Perfect for those visiting a single country, local plansensure stable and secure connectivity so you can land with internet access right away — no stores, physical SIMs, or extra steps needed.

They’re ideal for short trips, vacations, or quick business travel.

Regional plans

Regional plans are ideal for travelers visiting nearby countries.

They offer coverage in groups of countries — such as North America, Europe, Asia, or Latin America — maintaining a continuous connection as you cross borders.

Perfect for backpackers, professionals on regional business trips, or families traveling through multiple cities, these plans offer convenience and stability without the need to change carriers along the way.

Global plans

For those who want borderless connectivity, global plans are the ultimate solution.

With coverage in more than 150 countries, they ensure freedom and security for professionals, students, and frequent travelers.

In addition to wide coverage and easy activation, Inter offers the Global Number — an exclusive annual product for customers who want to make and receive calls anywhere in the world.

With the Global Number, you receive an international number with country code +1 (U.S.), which you can use to sign up for websites, apps, and U.S. services.

It’s the perfect solution for anyone who needs to maintain an international presence and interact with customer service or businesses in the U.S. with ease.

The Global Number expands the power of the eSIM, offering a complete global connectivity experience — voice and data in one digital environment.

What makes Inter’s plan different

The biggest advantage of Inter’s Global eSIM lies in its combination of competitive pricing, flexibility, and simple activation. You choose the country or region, the plan (data or data + voice), and the local carrier — all digitally and securely. Plus, there’s no need to download another app to manage your plan — you can handle everything right inside the super app.

The larger the plan you select, the longer your eSIM will remain active — perfect for longer trips. It also works alongside your physical SIM, so you can keep your original number while using your international plan.
