Pros and cons
Pros
- Coverage reaches from 100 countries, well above the 74 median across the site.
- Travel to Argentina and Brazil is bundled into the monthly plan instead of sold as an extra, and the usage cap on the included gigabyte is stated up front.
- Unlimited data: yes, and the fair use terms behind it are published rather than left to a support agent.
- Hotspot sharing: yes, and the portable modem plan serves 10 devices at once.
- The modem arrives with home delivery and order tracking, and is also sold in WOM stores, so setup does not wait on a courier.
Cons
- Coverage spans from 100 countries but all of it sits on WOM, so one network has to carry the whole trip and a local carrier outside Chile is never a second option.
- Cruise ship coverage is not among the features listed in unlimited data, 5g and hotspot, so a ship leg needs a different connection.
- Email is not among the support channels in phone, chat and help centre, which lists a phone line, chat and a help centre.
- Zwitchy covers 200 countries against from 100 here, so border heavy trips suit Zwitchy better.
Who it suits
- Travellers on a budget who want plenty of data, since the home plans reach an unlimited option.
- People heading to Argentina or Brazil, where travel data sits inside the plan with the usage cap stated up front.
- Groups who would rather carry a device than a profile: unlike eSIMGo.is at $0.99 with nothing to carry, the modem serves 10 devices at once.
Who should look elsewhere
- Cruise travellers: cruise ship coverage sits outside the roaming bags, so a ship leg needs its own connection.
- Anyone calling and texting abroad: the bags carry data only and exclude voice and SMS.
- Border heavy trips where map size outranks depth: Zwitchy lists 200 countries against from 100 here.
Where it works
WOM Chile reaches from 100 countries, against a 74 median across the site, and everything runs on WOM. That means a single footprint rather than a patchwork of partners: predictable inside the carrier's own coverage, thinner in countries where WOM holds no agreement. 5G: yes, on the same network. Region is listed as local and global, so the same home plan can carry a city week and a wider run without a separate purchase.
Speed and data limits
Unlimited data: yes, and the terms that sit beside that claim are written down rather than left open. Usage rules are published for the roaming gigabyte included in plans going to Argentina and Brazil, so a reader can see the ceiling before departure. The bags for the rest of the world are data only, exclude voice and SMS, and cruise ship coverage sits outside them, which is the catch for any route that moves onto a ship. 5G: yes, on the same network that carries those bags, and the published policies, not a support agent, define the limits.
The company behind it
WOM Chile is sold by WOM SpA, headquartered in Chile and founded in 2015. Support runs on phone, chat and help centre, so a phone line, chat and a help centre sit behind the service, and the operator that runs the network is the one that answers when a bag runs out early. The trade off for a traveller is predictable: a home market carrier writes its plans for its own market and adds travel data on top, which keeps the price per GB low and the terms public, but leaves each coverage agreement to the reader to check before the trip.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a WOM Chile plan cost?+
Entry plans start at CLP 13,990, and the headline price per GB is $0.02. Roaming reference prices are quoted in Chilean pesos and hold at CLP 39,990, CLP 39,990 and CLP 39,990 across the published markets, while the portable modem adds a daily rate of CLP 3,990. Anyone budgeting in another currency converts the amounts themselves.
How much data do I get and how many devices can share it?+
The portable modem plans are listed at 150 GB, 360 GB, 600 GB, unlimited (Gigas Libres), so you can take a mid allowance or the unlimited option instead of a small fixed cap. A single modem serves 10 devices at once, and hotspot sharing: yes, so a phone can pass the connection to a laptop or a group. 5G: yes, on the same network.
How long does the roaming last?+
The published bags for the rest of the world start at a single day and stretch to a month, with a WhatsApp only unlimited option across the same span, so a short hop does not force a monthly commitment. The catalogue is aimed at short trip and long trip travellers, and travel to Argentina and Brazil sits inside the home plan instead of a separate bag.
Is data unlimited and what are the fair use rules?+
Unlimited data: yes, and the usage rules for the included roaming gigabyte in Argentina and Brazil are written down in advance, so the ceiling is visible before departure. Bags for the rest of the world stay data only, exclude voice and SMS, and cruise ship coverage sits outside them. Home plans that add travel data start at CLP 13,990 a month.
How do I get the modem and start using it?+
The modem is sold as a carrier plan and arrives with home delivery and order tracking, and it is also sold in WOM stores, so a traveller can collect it rather than wait for a courier. The plan comes from the network operator itself rather than a marketplace reseller, top ups are available if you run down, and the connection is shared across 10 devices.
Which countries does it cover?+
Coverage reaches from 100 countries on the WOM network, and the service is listed for both local and global use, so the same account can carry a domestic week and a wider run. That is broader than the 74 median on the site, though Zwitchy lists 200.
Can I share data and get help while I am abroad?+
Hotspot sharing: yes, and 5G: yes, so a phone or tablet can pass the connection to a laptop or a small group. Support runs on phone, chat and help centre, giving a phone line, chat and a help centre, and top ups are available, so running out mid trip has a route back to data.
How does it compare with Zwitchy and eSIMGo.is?+
Zwitchy covers 200 countries, a wider map than the from 100 here, while eSIMGo.is starts at $0.99 and needs no hardware at all. WOM Chile leans on depth instead: a carrier network, unlimited options, a modem shared across 10 devices, and a per GB price of $0.02.
