Guatemala eSIM

For most travellers, the Guatemala eSIM wins without much contest. An eSIM for Guatemala is set up before you even leave — QR code scanned, profile installed, nothing left to do on arrival.

Yes, hotspot is available and fully operational on Guatemala eSIMs plans from eSIM Cards. When you turn your phone into a hotspot, you can share your data connection with any device that connects to Wi-Fi — including laptops, tablets, or even a friend’s phone.

The eSIM and SIM Guatemala data plans are offered by eSIM.Cards support 4G and 5G when local carriers utilise them. Coverage and speed vary according to location in the country you are visiting. Most tourist cities have better signal than almost all remote mountain or jungle areas.

Get in touch with our support team straight away. Available 24/7, they can check your account, look at the status of your plan, and walk you through fixes — whether that is a settings issue on your end or something that needs to be sorted from ours.

Deleting an eSIM profile removes it from your device, and rescanning the original QR code does not always work after that. If it happens, reach out to support first before trying anything else.

That is exactly the point. La Aurora International Airport has SIM card vendors, but queues can be long, availability varies, and you are dealing with it at the end of a flight. With a Guatemala eSIM bought online beforehand, you walk straight through arrivals and connect automatically — no stops, no queues, no hassle.

This is most often due to an incorrect APN in your phone. On your phone, go to the mobile data settings and check if the APN is the same as in your activation email. If that doesn’t help, get in touch with our support, and they will direct you from there.

You can still install it after arrival — but you will need a Wi-Fi connection to download the eSIM profile. Airport Wi-Fi or your hotel connection will work fine for this. Open your email, pull up the QR code, go into your phone settings, and add the plan from there. It takes a couple of minutes once you are connected.

No — Each eSIM plan is assigned to one device. Once the profile is installed, it can't be moved to a different phone or tablet. If you want data on more than one device, you'll have to buy multiple plans, or you can share the connection by using the hotspot feature on one device.

Yes, and that is one of the more useful things about having an eSIM in Guatemala. Most modern phones these days allow for dual SIM. Your home SIM remains active for calls & texts (or as a backup), and your Guatemala eSIM takes care of data. No need to choose one or the other, or bring a second device.
