What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Guatemala?

In Guatemala, the primary Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) are:

Tigo Guatemala: Operated by Millicom, Tigo offers a comprehensive range of mobile services, including voice, data, and high-speed 4G and 5G data services.
Claro Guatemala: A subsidiary of América Móvil, Claro provides mobile voice and data services, as well as fixed-line and broadband services.
Movistar Guatemala: Part of Telefónica, Movistar offers mobile voice and data services, focusing on competitive offerings and network expansion.

Additionally, Guatemala has Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) that offer mobile services by leasing access from major carriers. For example, Tuenti operates as an MVNO in the country. However, most travel eSIMs rely on MNO infrastructure, not MVNOs.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Guatemala?

Travel eSIMs that include a phone number and SMS capability are available for Guatemala. Providers such as GlobaleSIM, Orange Travel, Roamify, and TravelKon offer plans that support inbound and, in many cases, outbound voice calls along with SMS. The plans vary in data allowance, from 1GB to 100GB, and in validity periods from 7 days to 365 days, with prices starting around $6 for the lowest‑tier options.

All of these plans issue numbers that use foreign dialing codes; the most common code is +1, and Orange Travel offers numbers with codes 48 and 33. Because these codes are not Guatemala’s national code (+502), the phone numbers are not local Guatemala numbers. Nevertheless, the plans provide full inbound SMS service, and several allow outbound SMS as well. Prices and validity differ across providers, but most plans range from weekly to monthly durations, and a few extend to six months or a year for higher‑capacity data bundles.
