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 eSIM plans that provide a phone number and SMS support are available for Guatemala. The two providers that offer such plans are GlobaleSIM and Roamify, each supplying options ranging from 1 GB to 20 GB of data with validity periods from 7 days up to 365 days. Prices begin at about $6 USD for a 1 GB 7‑day plan and extend to roughly $105 USD for a 20 GB 365‑day plan.

All GlobaleSIM plans use the dialing code +1, the same as the United States, so the phone number assigned is not a local Guatemala number. Roamify’s Guatemala eSIM also uses +1, while one Roamify plan uses the French +33 code. Voice calls are available inbound and outbound on every plan, and SMS is supported inbound on all plans, with some plans also allowing outbound SMS.
