Buying a SIM card at Santiago Airport?

Hi, we're heading to Chile soon and need physical SIM cards (not eSIMs). Is it possible to buy them at Santiago Airport? We’ll have a few hours layover before our flight to Easter Island but not enough time to go downtown. Thanks for your tips!

Hi,

You shouldn’t normally have any trouble finding a SIM card at Santiago Airport.

Of all the telecom companies in Chile, ENTEL is the one that personally seems to have the best mobile coverage to me.

Have a great trip,

Thierry
