Buy eSIM data plans for Guatemala

A Guatemala eSIM is a prepaid mobile-data plan for your trip. Install it on a compatible, carrier-unlocked phone before departure, then select it as your data line within the plan's coverage area.

A Guatemala eSIM is a data-only plan that loads onto your phone before you fly, so you connect to a local network the second you arrive. Landing at Guatemala City's La Aurora International Airport, you skip the SIM kiosks and the roaming surcharges entirely. The plan connects you to Tigo on 4G, switching on as you reach the terminal. Before your bag reaches the carousel you can open maps, call a ride, confirm your hotel, and message home. No queues, no swapping a tiny plastic SIM, no bill shock when you get back. Just mobile data that works from the moment you step off the plane.

Frequently asked questions

Which mobile networks does the Guatemala eSIM use?

The Guatemala eSIM connects you to Tigo, running on 4G. Your phone selects the available signal automatically, so once the eSIM is installed and switched on you're connected without changing any settings yourself.

What's coverage like out at Tikal and around Lake Atitlán?

In the towns near the Mayan ruins at Tikal and around Lake Atitlán, coverage is generally strong. Deeper in the jungle and on the water it can become variable, so it's wise to download maps and tickets while you still have a solid signal in town.

Will it work on the volcanoes and highland roads?

Around the volcanoes and on the highland roads, you'll have a signal in and near the towns, but it can fade on remote, high or forested stretches. Save your route offline before you set out so you're not caught without directions.

Will one Guatemala plan cover a multi-country trip?

This is a Guatemala-only plan, so it covers data inside Guatemala. If your trip crosses borders into other Central American countries, choose a regional eSIM that includes them instead, rather than buying a separate plan for each stop.

When should I set up the eSIM before arriving in Guatemala?

Install the eSIM over Wi-Fi before you fly — a day ahead is comfortable. Leave activation until you're close to landing at Guatemala City's La Aurora International Airport, and it switches on as you reach the terminal so you're online straight away.

Can I keep my own number and use a hotspot in Guatemala?

Yes. The eSIM handles data only, so your usual number stays active for calls and texts over your home line, and you just use the eSIM for internet. Most phones can also share that connection as a hotspot for a laptop or a travel companion's device.
