FAQ
Can I really not get a local SIM without a CPF?
Essentially no — CPF binding is mandatory and the visitor process is painful. Travel eSIMs bypass the requirement entirely.
Does street crime affect phone use?
Phone snatching happens in big cities — navigate via earphones and keep the phone out of sight. A stolen eSIM phone can be remotely deactivated, safer than a physical SIM.
Is there signal at Iguazu Falls?
The Brazilian side is well covered; for the Argentine side check whether your plan includes Argentina (or use a LatAm regional plan).
