How to choose the right plan
- Light use — maps, messaging and browsing — needs about 1 GB per day.
- Heavy use — social video, streaming or hotspotting a laptop — plan for 2-3 GB per day or pick the largest plan.
- Match the validity to your trip length, with a day or two of buffer for delays.
How activation works
- Buy the plan and receive your eSIM by email within minutes.
- Install it from your phone settings while still at home — no store visit, no plastic SIM.
- Land in Guatemala, enable the eSIM line, and you are online before leaving the airport.
All Guatemala eSIM plans
Shuttle WhatsApps, a lancha timetable and a pin for a hostel up a cobbled street all want data when you leave La Aurora. A Guatemala eSIM is online after immigration without a mall errand for a Tigo counter.
Install it before you fly. The first useful thing it does is find the shuttle bay, not the airport Wi-Fi password on a pillar.
