Share with your laptop
Hotspot is allowed on the plan selected above, so a second device can use the same data in a cafe or a hotel room.

Peru travel data guide
A Peru eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Peru that you install before you fly. Plans in Peru run on Claro, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 13 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 50 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $3.99. Unlimited plans are listed too, each with its own fair use line. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Visiting more than one country? The Latin America eSIM covers Peru and 19 other countries on one plan, from $12.99. The Caribbean eSIM covers Peru and 24 other countries on one plan, from $6.99. The Global eSIM covers Peru and 126 other countries on one plan, from $18.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Peru, not when you buy, so you can install it at home days early. For a week of maps, messaging and social apps, most travellers are fine with 3 to 5 GB. Video calls or streaming need more, or an unlimited plan. Travel data in Peru from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Peru FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Peru?
It connects wherever Claro has signal, which is the same network local customers use. The eSIM is data only.
When do my days start?
On the first connection in Peru, not at purchase. The plan selected above (3 GB) runs for 1 day from that moment. You can install the eSIM at home and the clock stays still until you connect.
Do I get a local phone number in Peru?
No. The eSIM is data only. Your own SIM stays in for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working over the eSIM data.
Can I share data with my laptop?
Yes. Hotspot sharing is supported on the plan selected above, so your laptop or tablet can use the eSIM data through your phone.
Is 3 GB enough for two weeks in Peru?
3 GB is enough for two weeks in Peru if you use mobile data for maps, messaging and bookings and upload photos on WiFi. The 3 GB plan with 15 days matches that trip. Choose a larger month plan if you post video daily.
Which network does the Peru eSIM use?
The Peru eSIM uses Claro, which is listed as a 5G network. It is the only operator on our Peru plans. Some plans are labelled 3G/4G, so check the label if you want 5G and your phone supports it.
Should I get a Peru plan or the Latin America plan?
Get the Peru plan if you are only visiting Peru, and the Latin America plan if you are crossing into other countries on the same trip. The regional plan saves installing a new eSIM at each border.
When should I activate my Peru eSIM?
Install your Peru eSIM at home, and switch the line on when you land. The plan's days start when it first connects to a network in Peru, so there is no reason to wait until the airport to install.
Does my phone need to be unlocked for a Peru eSIM?
Yes, the phone must be carrier unlocked and must support eSIM. A locked phone will reject the Peru eSIM. Your carrier can tell you whether your phone is locked, and you can ask them to remove the lock.
Can I hotspot with my Peru eSIM?
Yes, hotspot is allowed on all Peru plans. On unlimited plans, hotspot data counts toward the 3 GB of full speed each day, after which the speed is up to 1 Mbps.
What happens when my data runs out in Peru?
When a fixed Peru plan runs out, data stops. Some plans can be topped up, and the plan card shows which. With a plan that has no top up, you buy a new one and install it over WiFi.
How do I top up if I run low?
Open My eSIMs, pick this eSIM and choose a top up. It goes onto the same eSIM, so there is no new QR code to scan.
