Tigo Bolivia review

Pay-as-you-go international roaming is priced in US dollars, and the rate depends on the zone: the US and CAN, then Europe, then a group of frequent countries, then the rest of the world. The nearer the zone to Bolivia, the lower the per megabyte rate. Roaming runs across from 46 countries in those zones.

Unlimited data is not offered. Daily roaming data caps apply instead, with the highest allowance in CAN and Nación Tigo América, lower caps in Nación Tigo Europa and Países Frecuentes, and the lowest in the rest of the world, after which data stops until the next day.

A fair use policy governs the roaming data. Speed drops in the last stretch of a daily cap, and once the cap is used data stops until the next day. The caps differ by zone, with the most in CAN and Nación Tigo América and the least in the rest of the world. It forms part of the carrier plan roaming, listed under carrier plan.

Roaming reaches from 46 countries, split across CAN, Nación Tigo América, Nación Tigo Europa, Países Frecuentes and the rest of the world. The region listing is global, and the frequent countries group covers Japan, Thailand, Turkey, China, Australia and India.

Hotspot sharing is not available, and the Roaming Libre data allows no tethering either. Travellers who need a laptop or several devices connected at once will need a separate solution.

Roaming Libre Móvil comes included at no cost with eligible plans, bundling data, minutes and messages in CAN and Nación Tigo América countries. The data pool accumulates across months, which helps on a trip with a slow start, and the offer sits inside the carrier plan category rather than a separate purchase.

This is a carrier-plan option, listed under carrier plan, so roaming runs on an existing Tigo line rather than a separately purchased travel eSIM. It suits subscribers already with the carrier; visitors without a Bolivian line should look at a standalone eSIM.

Support runs on chat and help centre, so help comes through chat and a help centre. Top-ups are available, which matters on pay-as-you-go roaming, where charges draw down the balance as data is used abroad.
