English
An eSIM for Peru is a digital data plan for the phone you already own. There is no physical SIM card, no airport lines, and no passport needed. Your plan is ready on your SIMAREA account before you even leave home.
It works safely alongside your normal SIM. You keep your own number for calls and important text messages. Your data goes through the SIMAREA plan. Just turn off data roaming on your home SIM to avoid high bills.
Every plan here uses more than one partner network. Your phone joins one when you arrive and can switch to another if the signal weakens.
If you stay longer, top up your current plan with more data. You do not need to buy a new one.
What it is not: a local phone number. If you need a number for verification codes, see virtual numbers.
Peru eSIM on Claro and Movistar
5GMobile data for a trip to Lima or Cusco: a day pass or a fixed plan of 7, 15, or 30 days.
The unlimited plan is the day pass we feature for Peru: after its daily full-speed allowance it keeps you connected at a lower speed, and it is billed per day for the days you choose. Fixed plans are one price for the term shown. Nothing on this page is an estimate.
How to get mobile data in Peru
Install it at home before you go. Some plans here start counting at installation, so check the line under the price for the plan you pick.
Pick eSIM plan
Choose how long you are there. The day pass is billed per day, so the term is yours to set.
Pay, then scan
Charged from your balance, which you top up with crypto. Your QR code is in your dashboard once the order is paid.
Turn it on when you arrive
Turn on data roaming for your SIMAREA plan when you arrive, and it joins a partner network.
What to know about an eSIM for Peru
The specifics that decide whether a travel eSIM is useful once you're actually there.
More than one network
Every plan here lists more than one partner network. If one gets weak, your phone can switch to another.
Set up before you go
No SIM card store, no passport check. Install it at home, then turn on data roaming for it when you arrive.
Hotspot sharing
Share your internet with a laptop or a friend, if your plan and phone allow it.
Keep your own number
The eSIM is just for internet. Your normal SIM still receives calls and important bank codes. You can use both at once.
Keep using the same eSIM
Staying longer? Top up the same plan with more data from your dashboard. No need for a new QR code.
If it does not work
Not installed or connected yet? Ask for a refund within 30 days of buying it. Installed but not working on any of its networks? Support helps, and refunds you if it cannot be fixed.
Claro and Movistar on every Peru eSIM
Any plan you buy here gives your Peru eSIM two Peruvian networks, Claro and Movistar.
5G depends on the size. The day pass and eight fixed plans mark both networks as 5G; the 50 GB plan lists them on 3G and 4G, so 20 GB for 30 days is the largest plan that marks it.
Traffic exits in Belgium, so sites see a Belgian address rather than a Peruvian one.
Sizes and terms on the Peru plans
- Day pass: Claro and Movistar at full speed for the first 1 GB of each day, then 512 Kbps until the reset
- 7 days: 100 MB, 500 MB, or 1 GB
- 15 days: 3 GB
- 30 days: 3, 5, 10, 20, or 50 GB
Nine of the ten plans start counting at the first connection in Peru; the 100 MB week counts from installation. An unused plan stays valid for 180 days. All ten top up with more data, not more days.
Peru with Ecuador, Chile, or Bolivia on one eSIM
Peru's neighbors sit on different lists, and the network you get in Peru changes with the list:
- Latin America, 6-country list: Peru with Ecuador, Chile, Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay. Movistar alone in Peru, with an exit in the UK. It adds 30 GB for 30 days and 50 GB for 180 days, neither of which tops up.
- Latin America, 20-country list: adds Bolivia and Colombia, which the 6-country list doesn't name. Claro and Movistar in Peru, with 5G marked on Claro, and an exit in the UK or Norway.
- Caribbean, 25-country list: Peru on Movistar with a UK exit, alongside Bolivia, Colombia, Jamaica, and Barbados.
- Global 130: Claro and Movistar, with 5G marked on Claro, and the longer terms: 20 GB for 90 days or 1 GB for 365 days.
Peru eSIM questions
Can I choose Claro or Movistar when I buy?
Not on the Peru plans: each one lists both networks. The 6-country Latin America plans and the Caribbean plans are the ones that list Movistar alone in Peru.
Is the Peru day pass unlimited?
You stay online past the daily 1 GB, only slower: 512 Kbps until the day resets. The 20-country Latin America day pass slows to 1 Mbps instead.
What if I stay in Peru longer than 30 days?
Buy another Peru plan when the term ends, or start with a longer one from the lists above, such as the 180-day 50 GB plan on the 6-country list.
Can I get a Peruvian +51 number with the eSIM?
No, the eSIM handles data alone: no number, no calls, no SMS. Your home SIM stays on your own number, and a number that receives SMS is a separate rental, listed under virtual numbers.
Can I get my money back if the Peru trip falls through?
Yes, if you ask before using it: within 30 days of purchase, an eSIM that hasn't been installed or connected can be refunded on request. Once it's installed or used, it isn't refundable, including when your phone turns out to be incompatible. If it doesn't work on any supported network in Peru, support fixes or refunds it.
