When is the best time to install eSIM for Peru?

It is better to install before departure and enable mobile data after landing.

Will internet work right after arrival in Peru?

Yes, with correct setup the profile usually connects right after network registration.

Which operators are available in Peru?

Commonly available networks include Claro, Entel Peru. The exact operator depends on the selected package.

What speed can I usually expect in Peru?

In typical conditions, speed is usually comparable to local SIM cards and depends on coverage, congestion, and device.

What if data runs out earlier than expected?

In your account, select the eSIM and purchase top-up if available for that package.

What happens to my main number?

Your main number stays active. eSIM works as a second SIM card for internet only. You can still receive calls and SMS on your main number.

Top-up is possible for eSIM on package plans only, up to 10 times. For example: if you have a 1GB 7-day plan, you can add another 1GB 7-day extension. After the top-up, you will have 2GB for 14 days (1GB + 1GB = 2GB, 7 days + 7 days = 14 days). Each top-up adds to your current data and validity totals. Top-ups are available for eSIMs with "Issued" and "Active" status. After expiry, top-ups are no longer possible.

How to check remaining data?

In your account under 'My eSIMs' you can see remaining data and validity.

What if eSIM doesn't activate?

Contact support — we'll help figure it out. If it's our fault — we'll exchange eSIM or refund.

When does the validity period start?

Depends on the plan: • Plans 1 GB and above — activate on first network connection in destination country • Plans under 1 GB — activate immediately upon installation Validity period starts from activation.
