Ecuador has three main carriers: Claro Ecuador (Mexican América Móvil subsidiary, largest market share, 5G in Quito and Guayaquil), Movistar Ecuador (Telefónica subsidiary), and CNT (Corporación Nacional de Telecomunicaciones, state operator, strong in rural zones). The eSIM Ahora connects to the strongest network. Plugs are Type A and B (American format, 110V — same as US and Colombia). Important: Ecuador uses USD as official currency since 2000. 4G coverage reaches Quito, Guayaquil, Cuenca, Manta, Salinas, and most of the Panamerican Highway (E35).
Quito Mariscal Sucre (UIO) and Guayaquil José Joaquín de Olmedo (GYE) airports offer limited free WiFi. The currency is official USD (US bills, US cents and Ecuadorian centavos identical). Banco Pichincha, Banco del Pacífico, and Produbanco ATMs accept foreign cards with no commission up to USD 500. Tips are 10%. Beware altitude in Quito (2,850m) and Cuenca (2,560m) — first 24h adaptation. Uber and Cabify apps work in Quito and Guayaquil. La Mariscal zone in Quito has better tourist security than the historic center at night. Guayaquil has zones to avoid — ask your hotel.
