“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?

Over 180 travel eSIM providers and more than 8, 200 prepaid data plans are available for Peru, offering travelers a wide variety of options to fit their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Peru?

Yes, several providers offer unlimited data eSIM plans for Peru. Roamify, Truely, and Yesim each offer plans that allow unlimited data for 1–30 days. These plans permit tethering, but the network may throttle speed during high‑traffic periods. Prices for the available unlimited options range from about $5.00 USD to $155.00 USD, giving travelers a broad budget range to choose from.

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, several travel eSIM providers offer Peru plans that include a phone number and SMS capability. Providers such as GlobaleSIM, ESIM.DOG, JamboSim, Orange Travel, Airhub and Simbye offer these options, though the offering is not limited to these; additional providers also exist. Most of the plans use foreign dialing codes, for example +1 for GlobaleSIM, ESIM.DOG and JamboSim, +48 or +33 for Orange Travel and others, meaning the numbers are not locally registered in Peru. However, Airhub and certain RedEx eSIM listings provide local Peru numbers with a +51 dialing code, giving travelers a true Peruvian number.

These plans cover data ranges from 1 GB to 100 GB and validity periods from 7 days up to 365 days. Prices start around $6 for the lowest‑priced GlobaleSIM plan and increase to roughly $88–$105 for larger data bundles and longer durations. Most plans allow both inbound and outbound voice calls and SMS, though a few GlobaleSIM entries provide only inbound messaging. Travelers can choose the package that best fits their data usage and messaging needs while considering whether a local number or a foreign one better serves their itinerary.
