eSIM for Peru

Choose your package

Do you need an eSIM for Peru?

You do not have to use one, but it makes arriving much easier. Instead of looking for a shop and a local SIM card after a long flight, you buy your plan before you leave, install it at home, and switch it on when you land. Your usual SIM can stay in the phone, so nothing about your home number changes.

All you need is a phone that supports eSIM and is unlocked. If you are not sure about yours, check the list of phones that support eSIM before you buy.

Which Peru eSIM plan fits your trip?

Ahlano offers 22 plans for Peru, from USD 0.60. They last from 1 to 30 days and go up to 50 GB. A simple way to choose:

• Short visit, light use: maps, messages and a few photos need only a small amount of data. A short, low-data plan is usually enough.
• Longer trip: if you are travelling for weeks, pick a plan that covers every day you are there, so you are not topping up in the middle of a hike.
• Heavy use: video calls, sharing videos or working online call for the larger plans, up to 50 GB.
• No counting: an unlimited plan is on sale for Peru if you would rather not watch your data at all.

If you run low, you can check your remaining data and top up from your account.

How to install your Peru eSIM

1. Choose your plan on this page and pay by card or Apple Pay.
2. Open the QR code or the one-tap install link you receive.
3. Follow the steps on your iPhone or Android phone to add the eSIM.
4. When you arrive, turn on the eSIM line and data roaming for it.

Installing while you still have Wi-Fi at home is the calmest option, so everything is ready when you land.

What is the downside of an eSIM?

There are a few limits worth knowing. Your phone must support eSIM and be unlocked, and older models may not. These plans are for data, so you will use apps for calls and messages. Keep the QR code safe until the eSIM is installed.

eSIM or a local SIM card for tourists in Peru?

A local SIM card means finding a shop, sorting out the paperwork and swapping cards on arrival. With an eSIM, the setup happens before you travel and your own SIM stays where it is. Visiting neighbouring countries on the same trip? Take a look at our South America plans, which cover several countries in one eSIM.
