The prices for these unlimited data plans vary widely, ranging from as low as about $4.50 to roughly $148 per validity period, with validity durations between one to thirty days depending on the provider.

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 include a phone number, voice calls and SMS functionality are available for Guatemala from several independent providers such as GlobaleSIM, JamboSim, ESIM.DOG, AirPlans, Roamify and Orange Travel. All of these plans use foreign dialing codes – primarily +1 for the United States and Canada, +48 for Poland and +33 for France – so the numbers are not local Guatemalan (+502) numbers; they are still usable for calls and SMS in Guatemala but will appear as international numbers. Each provider offers inbound and outbound voice, while most also provide inbound and outbound SMS, with some only offering outbound SMS for calls.

Prices start around $6 for a 1 GB, 7‑day plan and scale up to roughly $90–$120 for a 10 GB plan lasting 180 days. Validity periods range from 7 days to 180 days, and data caps vary from 1 GB to over 100 GB depending on the provider and package selected. All information is drawn from publicly listed plan details and is valid as of the latest updates.
