Guatemala travel data eSIM
What is a Guatemala eSIM?
Keep your phone connected while exploring Guatemala City, Antigua, and Lake Atitlan. This data-only eSIM installs via QR code before you fly. It activates only when you first connect to a local network in Guatemala. Your home SIM retains its number for calls and texts. Use mobile data for maps, translation, and bookings without roaming charges. Ideal for travellers needing instant internet access upon arrival.
The plan connects to Claro 4G networks. Validity begins on first connection in Guatemala. Choose from 1GB for 7 days up to 20GB for 30 days. Data allows hotspot use. Coverage depends on Claro’s infrastructure in your specific location. No physical SIM swap needed. Just scan the code and go.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operator does the Guatemala eSIM use?
It connects to Claro 4G networks. This means you rely on Claro’s infrastructure for data access. Coverage availability depends on where Claro operates within Guatemala. It is a single-carrier plan, so your experience matches Claro’s local presence.
Does this eSIM work in Mexico?
No, this is a single-country plan valid only in Guatemala. It does not work in neighboring countries like Mexico. For trips spanning multiple borders, look for our regional Central America plans instead.
Which plan size suits Antigua and Lake Atitlan?
For a 30-day trip to these two areas, 5GB or 10GB serves as a rough guide. Light users mapping and messaging may suffice with 5GB. Heavy video streamers or hotspot users might prefer 10GB or more.
Will I lose my own phone number?
No. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls and WhatsApp. The eSIM only carries data, so both work side by side.
When does my plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy it. So you can install it days before you fly without losing any time.
Is my phone compatible?
Most phones from 2018 onwards are: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, you have eSIM. Full list on our Device Compatibility page.
How fast will I get my QR code?
Usually within a couple of minutes of payment, by email. If it has not arrived, check spam first, then write to us and we will resend it immediately.
Can I use hotspot or tethering?
Yes, on every plan we sell. Share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or the rest of your group.
What if I change my mind?
If you have not installed the eSIM, you get a full refund within 180 days. Once a profile is activated and data has been used it cannot be refunded — the allowance is consumed from the network. Full detail in our Refund Policy.
Do you sell plans for groups?
Yes. For Umrah and Hajj groups, student trips and tour operators we deliver the QR codes as a single batch before departure, at group rates. Email us with your group size and destination.
