Guatemala Travel eSIM FAQ

Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Guatemala

There are over 140 travel eSIM providers and more than 3 300 prepaid data plans available for Guatemala, giving travelers a wide variety of options to find an eSIM that suits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Guatemala?

Unlimited data eSIM plans for Guatemala are available from several providers, including Truely, Roamify and Yesim. All these options provide 5G coverage and permit tethering, though speeds may be throttled after high‑usage thresholds are reached. The price for unlimited data ranges from about $9.90 to $148.20 U.S. dollars, depending on the chosen provider and validity period, which can span from one to thirty days.

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?

Yes, travel eSIMs that provide a phone number and SMS capability are available for Guatemala. The plans are offered by GlobaleSIM, Roamify, Orange Travel, Airhub, and TravelKon. All of these providers supply voice calling (both inbound and outbound) and SMS, and the plans range in data allowance from 1 GB to 100 GB and in validity from 7 days to 365 days. Prices begin around $6.00 USD for a 1 GB, 7‑day package and can go up to about $105.00 USD for a 20 GB plan valid for 365 days.

The phone numbers supplied by the plans use different dialing codes. Airhub’s Guatemala‑specific eSIMs use the local code +502, giving travelers a true Guatemala number. The other providers issue numbers with foreign dialing codes such as +1 (US/Canada), +33 (France), 48, or 33, so the number is not locally registered in Guatemala. In every case the plans allow inbound and outbound voice calls and SMS, so you can receive and send calls and texts during your stay, with the cost of calls and texts determined by the carrier’s international roaming rates for the chosen dialing code.
