“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.”

Peru Travel eSIM FAQ

Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Peru

How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Peru, and how many prepaid data plans are there?

Peru offers more than 140 travel eSIM brands and more than 5, 500 prepaid data plans. With a wide variety of options, travelers can easily find an eSIM that meets their needs.

Truely, abesteSIM, Yoho Mobile, Roamify, and Yesim each provide unlimited data for periods ranging from one to thirty days, all of which allow tethering but may throttle speed, with a typical speed limit around 5 Mbps for the 5G networks listed. The price range for these unlimited plans spans from as low as $0.00 with Firsty up to $453.19 with Yoho Mobile. Travelers can choose a plan that fits their budget and expected usage, keeping in mind the potential throttling and limited validity periods.

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.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Peru?

Yes, travel eSIMs that supply a phone number and SMS service for Peru are available. Providers such as Airalo, GlobaleSIM, Orange Travel, Roamify, LinkeSIM, and Earth Esim offer these plans. Airalo’s Tono+ eSIMs use local Peruvian numbers with the dialing code +51, while the other providers issue numbers from foreign countries—globally from +1, +33, +31, or from 48—so the number is not local to Peru but still works for inbound and outbound calls and texts. Most plans include inbound and outbound voice calls, and SMS is typically available either inbound only or both inbound and outbound; Telephony features are confirmed in each plan’s description.

Prices for these plans start at about $4.50 for a 1 GB, 7‑day data‑plus‑telephony package and rise to roughly $24.00 for larger data bundles that still include voice and SMS. Validity periods vary from a single day to up to 365 days, giving travelers a range of choices that fit short trips or longer stays.
