## Networks

- Guatemala: Claro (4G), movistar (3G)

## Which Guatemala eSIM plan do I need?

From the ruins at Tikal to the cafés of Antigua Guatemala, these four trips cover most visits, so find the one that sounds like yours.

- **A city break in Antigua Guatemala:** three days of walking, café stops and rides fits standard use, so 3 GB for 15 days is your plan.
- **A fortnight touring Flores, Tikal and Lake Atitlán:** two weeks of maps, messages, social media and music is standard use, so pick 10 GB for 30 days.
- **A long stay in Guatemala City:** a month of standard use, from work emails to music, fits 20 GB for 30 days.
- **A business trip in Guatemala City:** a week of heavy use, with your laptop on the [hotspot](/help/hotspot-tethering), suits 2 GB a day for 7 days.

Most plans can be topped up, and the longest plan lasts 30 days.

## Will my eSIM have signal in Guatemala?

Your eSIM joins Claro or movistar on 4G and 3G networks. Your phone picks the network by itself, so there's nothing to choose once you land. Signal is good in cities and main towns, but it can be patchy in remote highlands and the Petén jungle, so download your maps before a trip to Tikal.

Your data reaches the internet through Belgium, which is a normal setup for travel eSIMs. Read more on our [IP address help page](/help/ip-address-another-country). Daily plans slow to 512 Kbps once you've used the day's allowance.

## Using your phone in Guatemala: data tips

- **Arriving at La Aurora (GUA):** Install your eSIM at home on Wi-Fi, then switch it on when you land at La Aurora (GUA). Next, turn on [data roaming](/help/turn-on-data-roaming) for your eSIM line.
- **Getting around:** Set up Uber or inDrive before you leave the airport, then pick your route to Antigua Guatemala, Lake Atitlán, Flores or Tikal.
- **Staying in touch:** Message friends and family on WhatsApp, while your home number stays on for calls and texts. Here's how to [keep WhatsApp and your home number working together](/help/keep-whatsapp-and-home-number).
- **Networks:** Your eSIM connects to Claro or movistar on 4G and 3G networks. Most plans can be topped up, so you can add data later if your trip runs longer.
- **Pick your data:** Light use, like maps, messages and email, is about 0.25 GB a day. Standard use, with social media, music and some video, is about 0.7 GB a day.
