The Maya Global eSIM is the best eSIM for Brazil for travelers who want unlimited data at one flat price for their trip length. Plans run 3, 7, 14 or 30 days, from USD 9.99.
Brazil is a big country to cross with a dead phone and a SIM-shop queue. We skip both.
Maya gives Brazil travelers unlimited data at one flat price by trip length
The 3-day plan costs $9.99, the 14-day plan costs $27.99, and the 30-day plan costs $49.99.
That’s the decision. One eSIM, one price for your trip length, no hunting for a pack per country.
What does unlimited data mean on the Maya Global eSIM in Brazil?
Some restrictions apply to very high usage of Unlimited eSIM plans, in order to assure high service quality for everyone. An Unlimited eSIM plan that has consumed more than 1 GB of data over any period of time generally cannot be returned.
Your maps, your messages, your photos, all day.
How long should your Maya plan run for a Brazil trip?
Match the plan to your days on the ground: 3, 7, 14 or 30 days, one flat price for each. A plan is a one-time purchase that ends when its days end, and if your trip runs longer, you add another plan from the app while the eSIM stays on your phone.
The Unlimited 3 Days plan suits weekend trips and short getaways, and costs USD 9.99 (USD 3.33/day). The 14-day Unlimited plan is for holidays and two-week trips at USD 27.99 (USD 2.00/day). The Unlimited 30 Days plan suits long trips and digital nomads, costs USD 49.99 (USD 1.67/day) and is marked Best Value.
Pick your days and go.
Why skip a local SIM in Brazil?
Maya stays on your device permanently, with no deleting or reinstalling between trips. For each trip you only buy a new plan, and we recommend keeping the eSIM installed so it’s ready for the next one.
No counter. No paperwork. You’re out of the airport faster.
What should you check before choosing Maya or any eSIM for Brazil?
Check four things: the local network the eSIM uses, how the data is sold (unlimited or by the gigabyte), whether the price is flat for the trip, and whether the plan renews by itself. Holafly lists Claro, TIM and Vivo as its Brazil networks, and Saily’s Airalo vs. Holafly comparison lists TIM as Airalo’s Brazil network. Our Global eSIM sells unlimited data at one flat price by trip length.
We don’t name the local networks we use in each country. Our destination pages say we connect you “to the strongest local network in every country,” and the eSIM connects automatically to the best available one. On landing, switch on the Maya eSIM in your phone settings. If resetting the data connection doesn’t work, you may need to select a network manually, and support can advise which networks are best to connect to. Afterward, leave Network Selection on Automatic so your device keeps searching for a signal.
Rivals’ buyers describe what goes wrong. A 1-star Trustpilot review of Saily by Will, dated September 25, 2026, said he had to reinstall his eSIM almost every day in Brazil: “Had the worst experience with Saily in Brasil. Almost every single day I had to remove and reinstall my esim. I wasted so much time on it. Luckily I was with my wife who could hot-spot me to reinstall the esim otherwise I would have been struggling even more.”
Will a Brazil eSIM plan charge you again after your trip?
No, not unless you switch it on. Every Maya plan is a one-time purchase that ends when its days end, and Auto Top-Up is opt-in and off by default.
We’re not a subscription. With Auto Top-Up off, your plan runs until it expires and stops with no further charge, and there’s no automatic recurring charge unless you turn on Auto Top-Up.
You decide. Then you get back to the trip.
Per-country packs or one global plan: which travel eSIM suits a Brazil trip?
The table lists how each travel eSIM company sells its plans, in its own published words: per country, per region or global, and by the gigabyte, by day or unlimited. A Brazil traveler reads it row by row to see which companies sell one plan for the whole trip.
| Travel eSIM | How plans are sold | Unlimited plan allowance, as published |
|---|---|---|
| Maya Mobile | One Global eSIM for 165+ countries, unlimited data at a flat price by trip length: USD 9.99 for 3 days, USD 19.99 for 7 days, USD 27.99 for 14 days, USD 49.99 for 30 days | A daily high-speed data allowance (the Daily Quota) at up to 4G LTE or 5G where local networks offer it, reset every 24 hours; unlimited data at standard speed once the Daily Quota is used |
| Airalo | Per country, per region, or one global plan; priced in USD | Our unlimited data packages don’t have a fixed total data cap. However, to keep the network running fairly for everyone, when you use more than 3GB in a day, we’ll slow down (or “throttle”) your internet speed to 1 Mbps for the rest of that day. |
| Holafly | Per country, per region (Europe, Latin America, Cruise plans), and monthly global plans: Light, 25GB of data, $ 49.90USD/month; Unlimited, $ 64.90USD/month; Ultra, $ 90.95USD/month | Unlimited data means there is no fixed limit on the amount of data you can use. However, some network operators may temporarily reduce your speed after a certain amount of high-speed data usage. |
| Saily | Per country and per region, plus one global plan; by the gigabyte, unlimited, or both | The Unlimited plan gives you 5 GB per day at full 4G/5G speed, then keeps you online at 1 Mbps for the rest of the day — fast enough for navigation, messaging, and standard browsing. |
| Nomad | Per country, per region and global plans; by the gigabyte | How many GB of high-speed data you wish per day. You can continue to use your data at a throttled speed of 512kbps after you’ve used up your daily allocation. |
The rival rows quote each company’s own published wording or briefly summarize it, and the Maya Mobile row gives Maya’s own plan terms.

FAQ
How do I call and text people from Brazil on a travel eSIM?
eSIM plans are data plans only, so Maya Mobile eSIM plans don’t include a local phone number or provide one for calling or SMS. After activating, you can keep using your existing phone number to send and receive calls and text messages (SMS). You can also make voice and video calls through apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime or Telegram using your regular home number.
What should I check about hotspot sharing on a Brazil eSIM?
Turn on Mobile Hotspot / Internet Sharing on your phone, where supported in the country, and connect your other devices to the broadcast Wi-Fi network. Using it for a laptop or tablet to join Zoom calls is acceptable regular use.
What do I need for data on a cruise that stops in Brazil?
You need the Global + Cruise plan, a separate purchase priced on its own: USD 49.99 for 3 days, USD 109.99 for 7 days, USD 299.99 for 30 days. It covers 20+ cruise lines and 165+ countries, including Norwegian Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean International and Carnival Cruise Line, with unlimited data at sea.
What do I do if my eSIM has no signal in Brazil?
Check that the Maya eSIM is switched on and selected for Cellular Data in your phone settings. To reset the data connection, enable Airplane Mode, wait 30 seconds, then switch it off again. On Android, after creating the APN, select it and restart the device to reset the mobile network. On iOS, open Settings > Cellular (may be called Mobile or Mobile Service), tap the eSIM plan, tap Cellular Data Network, and enter the APN name in the APN fields.
How do refunds work if my Brazil eSIM does not connect?
Maya’s 100% Money Back Guarantee covers a plan that doesn’t work or can’t be installed on your device. Under the Terms of Service, you get a full refund, less any applicable payment processing fees, if you haven’t used any data and ask within 30 days of purchase, or if an activated plan is completely unusable due to an error on Maya’s part that isn’t fixed within 10 days of your refund request. A plan that has used some data but doesn’t work properly because of a network issue on Maya’s side gets a partial refund for the unused portion. An Unlimited plan that has used more than 1 GB of data generally can’t be returned. Requests must be submitted within 30 days of the issue arising, and refunds go to the original payment method, or as Maya Rewards Points if you prefer. The complete terms are in the Terms of Service.
Is a travel eSIM better than roaming on my home carrier in Brazil?
Maya’s flat prices run USD 9.99 for 3 days (USD 3.33/day), USD 19.99 for 7 days (USD 2.86/day) and USD 27.99 for 14 days (USD 2.00/day), the 14-day plan being marked Most Popular. Your home carrier adds no roaming charges for data while the Maya eSIM carries it, as long as the eSIM is installed and configured correctly and Data Roaming is turned off on your regular phone plan.
How do I cover Brazil and nearby countries on one trip?
One plan covers multi-country travel, so you can move on without switching SIMs or changing plans. Maya eSIMs work in 165+ countries, including Colombia and Peru. All listed countries are included in every plan.
Maya gives you one eSIM, installed once, with unlimited data across 165+ countries at a flat price for your trip length.
