“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:
