Coverage & network in Guatemala
Arriving in Guatemala with no data is the expensive way to travel. An eSIM fixes that in about two minutes: install before you fly, turn on data roaming for the travel line after you land.
Plans run from $15 for 1 GB over 7 days up to $114 for 20 GB over 30 days. The 1 GB plan is a short-stay or backup option; anything longer than a long weekend is better served by 5 GB.
Coverage here is 4G/LTE. It handles navigation, messaging, calls over data and streaming without complaint, and it reaches considerably further than any 5G rollout currently does. Tethering is allowed on every Guatemala plan, so a laptop or a travelling companion can share the connection.
Crossing borders on the same trip? The Latin America plan covers 17 destinations on one profile from $22.50. Otherwise there are separate plans for Uruguay from $8.50, Venezuela from $13 and Argentina from $9.
How to install it
- 1
Buy in a minute
Pick a Guatemala plan and pay. Your QR code arrives by email in seconds — no account, no shipping.
- 2
Install on Wi-Fi
Scan the code before you fly. The profile sits alongside your normal SIM and stays switched off until you need it.
- 3
Land connected
Turn on data roaming for the TravelNet line when you arrive. The plan starts counting down on that first connection, not at checkout.
Will my phone work?
You need an eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked phone: an iPhone XS or newer, a Pixel 3 or
newer, or a recent Samsung Galaxy S, Z or A-series flagship. Dial *#06# — if
an EID number is listed alongside the IMEI, the phone has an eSIM.
Travelling beyond Guatemala?
One Latin America plan covers 17 countries from $22.50 — worth it from the third border.
Guatemala eSIM questions
Which network does the Guatemala eSIM use?
Tigo Guatemala. It is one of Guatemala's main mobile networks, so coverage matches what local subscribers get rather than a thin roaming-only footprint.
Will I get 5G in Guatemala?
No. Guatemala plans run on 4G/LTE, which is what the network covers reliably. For maps, messaging, calls over data and streaming the difference is not something you'll notice.
How much data do I actually need for Guatemala?
As a rough guide: navigation and messaging burn around 100–200 MB a day, social media roughly 500 MB an hour, and video calls about 1 GB an hour. A short trip fits inside the 3 GB plan ($30); a fortnight of heavier use is closer to 10 GB ($69).
When does my Guatemala plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Guatemala, not when you buy it. Install it at home a day or two before you fly — the 1 GB plan then gives you 7 days from arrival and the larger plans 30 days.
Can I use my Guatemala eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. Tethering is enabled on every Guatemala plan, so you can share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or someone travelling with you. Hotspot data comes out of the same allowance.
Can I keep my own phone number while I'm in Guatemala?
Yes. Nothing is removed from your phone. The Guatemala profile is added as a second line and set as the one used for data, while your usual number keeps receiving calls, texts and bank verification codes. Switch data roaming off on the home line before you fly.
Do I need to register or show a passport to use a Guatemala eSIM?
No. The plan roams on a partner network, so there's no local SIM registration, no ID upload and no shop visit. You buy it, scan the QR code, and it works on arrival.
What happens if I run out of data in Guatemala?
You can top up from the same page — buy another Guatemala plan and it queues behind the current one on the same eSIM profile. There's no need to reinstall anything or scan a second QR code.
I'm also visiting Uruguay and Venezuela — do I need separate eSIMs?
Not necessarily. The Latin America plan covers 17 destinations including Guatemala on a single profile from $22.50. If Guatemala is the bulk of the trip, a country plan plus a top-up is usually cheaper; if you're crossing several borders, the regional plan wins.
Will my phone work with a Guatemala eSIM?
If it's an iPhone XS or newer, a Pixel 3 or newer, or a recent Samsung Galaxy S, Z or A-series flagship, almost certainly — and it must be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# and look for an EID number: if one is listed, the phone has an eSIM. Our compatibility list has the full set.
