“Zero stars if it were possible. Absolutely terrible. Easy to set up and activate, but the data signal was absolutely the worst. Like dial up 1999. Images would not load. Basic internet use was nearly impossible. Only functional for texting. I don't know what the quality is in other countries, but I would not use Breeze again, obviously. They would have to pay me.”

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

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

Movistar: A subsidiary of Telefónica, offering extensive mobile services, including 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE networks.
Claro: Operated by América Móvil, providing comprehensive mobile services with a focus on competitive pricing and bundled packages.
Entel: A subsidiary of Entel Chile, delivering a range of mobile services with an emphasis on expanding its 4G LTE network.
Bitel: Owned by the Vietnamese Viettel Group, known for its competitive pricing and focus on data services, operating 3G and 4G LTE networks.

In addition to these MNOs, Peru has Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) that lease access from major carriers to offer mobile services. Notable MVNOs include Cuy Móvil, which utilizes Claro's network, and Tuenti, operating on Movistar's infrastructure. It's important to note that most travel eSIMs rely on MNO infrastructure rather than MVNOs.
