Frequently asked questions
How much does roaming cost with Personal?+
Roaming is pay-as-you-go and sold in blocks, not daily passes. A block in the US, Mexico, Europe, the UK, Turkey, Japan and Thailand sits well above the regional Mercosur and Chile rate, so where you land changes the bill.
Is there any free roaming data included?+
Yes, but only for customers holding more than one Personal service. The included benefit is a small monthly allowance plus WhatsApp for a limited window, once a year, so it covers a short trip rather than a long stay.
Does Personal offer unlimited data?+
No. Unlimited data is not part of these plans, and the roaming fair use policy caps the free benefit, with paid data charged in blocks. Travellers who stream heavily should expect the bill to climb quickly.
How many countries can I roam in?+
Roaming reaches 200 countries, served on the Personal network. The home base is Argentina, and the legal entity behind the service is Telecom Argentina S.A.
Can I use my phone as a hotspot?+
Yes, hotspot sharing is supported, along with 5G on the same plan. That makes Personal a reasonable fit if a laptop or tablet needs data while you are away.
What is the cheapest destination to roam in?+
Mercosur and Chile have the lowest pay-as-you-go rate, charged per smaller block. Airplane and maritime coverage is the most expensive by a wide margin, which matters if you connect mid-flight or on a ship.
How do I get support while travelling?+
Support runs through phone, chat and a help centre, listed on phone, chat and help centre. Because it is a carrier, you are dealing with the same team that handles your home mobile line.
Can I top up my data while abroad?+
Top-ups are available, which helps if you burn through the included allowance early. Keep an eye on the block size, since charges are made per block rather than per day of use.
