Montevideo: excellent 4G/5G throughout — the Ciudad Vieja (Old City), Pocitos beach neighborhood, and the Rambla coastal walk all covered. Punta del Este: the resort peninsula has strong 4G. La Mano sculpture beach and main resort beaches all covered. Colonia del Sacramento (UNESCO colonial city, ferry from Buenos Aires): 4G in the Barrio Histórico. The Colonia ferry crossing from Buenos Aires loses signal on the Rio de la Plata and reconnects approaching Colonia port. Cabo Polonio (remote coastal village, no cars, no electricity from grid): very limited signal — download offline maps before the dune buggy transfer.
