Movistar, Argentina and Movistar, Mexico are the second and third cheapest, with the Comunidad 2GB plan (USD PPP 15.31) and Paquete Prepago Rollover $150 plan (USD PPP 16.99) respectively.
At the other end of the price range, Nicaragua is the most expensive country, with the Favorites $12 plan from Movistar Nicaragua being the cheapest offer there, at just under USD PPP 88 per month, 8.7 times the cost of the Oi Brazil offer.
Note: Due to spiralling inflation, the results for Venezuela have been excluded, as they distort the averages, and are not meaningful within the comparison.
