“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.”

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?

Travel eSIMs that include a phone number and SMS capability are available for Peru. Providers such as GlobaleSIM, ESIM.DOG, JamboSim, Orange Travel, Airalo, and RedEx eSIM offer plans that support inbound and outbound voice calls (where applicable) and SMS, with dialing codes of +1, +48, +51, and others. Plans that use the dialing code +51, such as Airalo and RedEx eSIM, provide a local Peru phone number, while all other plans use foreign numbers and therefore are not local Peru numbers.

Typical pricing for these plans starts at about $6.00 USD for a 1GB 7‑day option and can rise to $35.89 USD for larger data packages. Validity periods range from 7 days to 365 days, depending on the provider and package size, offering flexibility for any length of stay in Peru.
