eSim card that covers Argentina and Uruguay?

We're flying into BA (EZE) and flying out of AEP to Punta del Este the same day. A week later we come back to BA and will spend two more weeks in Argentina.

Is there a mobile phone carrier that will issue an eSim that will cover Argentina and roam to Uruguay or vice versa?

I started using eSIMs on my US based phone since late October. I haven't travelled to South America in many years but the company that I have used to buy eSIMs, Airalo, has a Latamlink eSIM available that covers nineteen countries. This includes Argentina and Uruguay and also for SAPMAN, Chile. Outside of one random night in Vancouver where I couldn't get it to work, my experience with the eSIMs I purchased for Canada and South Korea have been good.

Can you get pre-paid eSims issued in Argentina...? I had the impression that eSims were only available for post paid cellular accounts.

Thanks

I am pretty certain that Claro offers pre-paid eSIM cards. Their "tourist offer" is actually quite competitive at 3,500 ARS which includes 25 GB of data + free use of Whatsapp and social media. The only problem I see is that you need to buy it at a Claro store.

I don't think any of the three operators (Claro, Movistar, Personal) offer free roaming on pre-paid. They will likely give you coverage in Uruguay or Chile but it will be expensive.

I got an eSIM from Personal at their office in Palermo Soho. It was very quick and easy. She said you can cancel the plan whenever you want. It was dirt cheap too. It was at Honduras 4748.
