Will I have signal deep in the São Paulo Metrô?

Coverage across the metro network is generally good, with signal on platforms and most tunnels, though it can drop between deeper stations at rush hour. Download your route in advance so transfers stay simple.

Can I use the same plan for a trip to the coast or Rio?

Yes. This is one national Brazil eSIM, so it keeps working if you drive down to Santos, fly to Rio or head inland to Campinas. A single allowance covers the whole country, not just São Paulo.

Good to know in São Paulo

São Paulo's traffic is legendary, so lean on live-traffic maps and the transit apps together; the Metrô and CPTM trains often beat a gridlocked Uber across the centre, and your data shows real-time platform and arrival times.

Two simple ways to buy

São Paulo eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

Every São Paulo eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in São Paulo — you can always top up or switch on your next trip.

Traveller streaming and browsing freely on an unlimited-data travel eSIM

Unlimited plans

High-speed data, nothing to count

Priced per day — the longer you stay, the better the daily rate. Ideal for streaming, hotspot and longer trips where you'd rather not watch a data meter. A fair-use policy keeps speeds fast for everyone; see each plan for the detail.

Best for streaming, video calls & hotspot
Great for longer or open-ended trips
One price per day — no GB anxiety

By-the-GB plans

3GB10GB20GB

A set bundle, brilliant value

A fixed data allowance (say 3 GB or 10 GB) valid for your travel days. The best-value pick for lighter trips built around maps, messaging and a bit of browsing. Running low? Top up in a couple of taps — nothing to reinstall.

São Paulo eSIM: your local data guide.

In a city this vast, getting from Avenida Paulista to a Vila Madalena bar or the Mercadão food stalls means constant maps and ride-hailing. A São Paulo eSIM keeps you connected the instant you land, ready to navigate the Metrô, split a rodízio bill by Pix and pull up gallery times at Ibirapuera Park.

One eSIM for São Paulo and all of Brazil. It's the national Brazil eSIM — from $6.97/day with unlimited data, working the same in São Paulo as it does the moment you leave it.

Landing at São Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport (GRU)?

Install the QR at home, then switch the eSIM on as you taxi in — you're online before you reach the arrivals hall.

How much data for São Paulo

For a city trip of Metrô navigation, ride-hailing, Pix payments and restaurant hunting, 3-5 GB comfortably covers most visitors; choose Unlimited if you are working remotely or hotspotting a laptop between meetings.

Peace of mind

Your São Paulo eSIM: data-only, zero bill shock.

Your São Paulo eSIM handles the internet while you travel. Your home number stays exactly where it is — no surprise roaming charges in São Paulo, no swapping your real SIM out.

Keep your number & WhatsApp

The eSIM is data-only and runs alongside your home SIM. Your number, iMessage and WhatsApp keep working exactly as they do at home.

No roaming bills, ever

Turn data roaming OFF on your home SIM and ON for the eSIM. You pay once, up front — no overage, no metered surprises, no bill waiting when you land home.

One thing worth knowing

Because it's data-only, the eSIM can't receive bank verification (OTP) text codes — those still go to your home number. Keep it reachable on Wi-Fi calling, or use app-based codes.
