We recommend scanning your Ecuador Abroad eSIM QR code before you even depart! Activating it at home ensures that the moment you land at Mariscal Sucre International Airport (UIO) in Quito or José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport (GYE) in Guayaquil, your data will be live. This way, you can instantly order a ride, check maps, or message loved ones without scrambling for airport Wi-Fi after a long flight.
