Prepaid data is priced by the day and costs very little. Some packs include free roaming in Argentina and Uruguay, which matters at the triple border.
Prepaid packs are daily, not monthly
- Personal sells 700 MB for 4,750 guarani, valid 24 hours.
- An unlimited one-day pack costs 10,000 guarani, with unlimited calls to all networks and unlimited overnight browsing between 22:00 and 06:00.
- The model is a daily or short-validity pack rather than a monthly bundle, so top up for the days you need rather than buying a large allowance up front.
Roaming at the triple border
- Some Personal combos include free roaming in Argentina and Uruguay. If your trip includes Foz do Iguacu, Puerto Iguazu or a hop across the river, check which pack carries it before you buy.
- Note that free roaming covers Argentina and Uruguay, not Brazil, which is the neighbour most visitors actually cross into at Ciudad del Este.
Why it is worth having a connection before you leave the terminal
- The FCDO's advice is to call a licensed taxi from a landline or a hotel rather than hail one. Doing that from the arrivals hall needs either a phone that works or the airport's own wifi.
- You are required to carry ID. A photo of the passport page and the entry stamp on a phone is not a substitute for the paper copy the FCDO recommends, but it is a useful backup.
