While 5G networks are expanding, especially in capital cities like Santiago or Manila, the Global South is primarily a robust 4G+ (LTE Advanced) region. Your SouthESIM will mostly rely on these very stable and fast 4G networks. Don't worry, 4G speeds are more than sufficient for all your travel needs: streaming, video calls, navigation, and social media. You might occasionally catch 5G in central urban areas, but our focus is on providing consistent, wide-ranging 4G/LTE coverage to keep you connected throughout your adventures.
