Argentina and Chile share a very long border, and Patagonia itineraries cross it more than once: Bariloche to Puerto Varas, El Calafate to Torres del Paine, Mendoza to Santiago over the Andes. The two governments ended roaming charges between them in 2020, but that applies to Argentine and Chilean subscriptions. A travel eSIM needs both countries in its list. The crossings are high passes and empty steppe, and you should expect no signal at the border posts themselves.
