Is HotelESIM easier to set up than purchasing a local SIM card upon arrival at <strong>Montevideo (MVD)</strong> Airport, and is ID required?

Updated April 22, 2026

Opting for HotelESIM offers a significantly smoother experience compared to acquiring a physical local SIM card, such as from Antel, at Montevideo Airport. With a traditional SIM, you'd typically need to locate a vendor, endure potential queues, and complete a mandatory passport registration. HotelESIM bypasses all these steps; it's entirely digital, requires no ID verification, and can be activated conveniently before you even arrive or from the comfort of your hotel room, ensuring you're connected the moment you need it.
