Using mobile data in Ecuador: local tips
- In the mountains, find signal and call 911. Canada’s travel advice says that in a remote emergency you should find an area with signal and call 911, so authorities can locate your phone. Carry a fully charged battery pack.
- One emergency number. Dial 911 for police, fire and ambulance anywhere in Ecuador. There are also tourism police units in Quito, Guayaquil, Cuenca, Santa Elena and Galápagos.
- Turn on earthquake alerts. Ecuador is highly seismic, and Android phones can receive earthquake alerts — check the setting before you travel.
- Report a stolen phone online. If your phone is stolen, you can report it online in English to Ecuador’s Attorney General’s Office — the report is valid for insurance claims.
- Ride-hailing is unregulated. Taxi apps work in Ecuador and show driver details, but the services are unregulated — the UK government suggests booking through your hotel or a known radio-taxi company.
