Paraguay

Yes, as long as you have an eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked iPhone. That means iPhone XS, XR or any newer model, including the SE (2020) and later. After you buy, we email a QR code; scan it to add the Paraguay eSIM alongside your normal SIM. Your existing line stays put for your usual number, while the eSIM handles prepaid data once you land. Before you fly to Asuncion, check Settings to confirm your iPhone shows eSIM or Add eSIM options, and that it isn't locked to a single home carrier. If you're unsure, our 24/7 support can confirm compatibility. This is a data-only travel eSIM, so calls and texts run through WhatsApp, FaceTime and iMessage over the mobile internet.

It does, on most recent eSIM-capable Android phones that are carrier-unlocked. That covers the Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, plus Z Fold and Z Flip models, Google Pixel 3 and later, and many current handsets from other brands. To check, open your phone's network settings and look for an Add eSIM or Add mobile plan option. After purchase we email a QR code you scan to install the Paraguay eSIM, keeping your normal SIM in place for your usual number. As a data-only tourist SIM, it delivers prepaid mobile internet across Paraguay while calls and messages travel over apps like WhatsApp. If your model isn't listed or you aren't certain it's unlocked, our 24/7 support team can confirm before you travel.

The Paraguay eSIM connects to the Tigo network, one of the country's leading mobile operators. That gives you fast 4G data across Asuncion, Ciudad del Este and beyond, so you're online from the moment you land at Silvio Pettirossi International Airport. Because it runs on a strong local network rather than expensive roaming, you get reliable mobile internet for maps, ride-hailing, translation and staying in touch over WhatsApp. Your device picks up Tigo automatically once you arrive and the eSIM activates on first connection. There's nothing to configure manually beyond installing the QR code we email you. If you ever have trouble connecting, our 24/7 support can walk you through it, but most travellers are online within moments of switching on their phone in Paraguay.

Coverage is strongest in and around Asuncion and Ciudad del Este, where the Tigo network delivers fast 4G for everyday browsing, streaming and navigation. The eSIM also reaches well beyond these hubs, covering towns like Encarnacion, the Jesuit Missions area and routes toward the Itaipu Dam. In more remote stretches, such as parts of the Gran Chaco or rural backroads, signal can thin out and you may drop to slower speeds, which is normal for any tourist SIM in those regions. For a road trip we suggest downloading offline maps before you set off. Across populated areas and main highways, though, this travel eSIM keeps you connected with dependable prepaid data and no roaming fees, so you can explore Paraguay without hunting for Wi-Fi.

It's quick. After purchase we email you a QR code along with simple step-by-step instructions. On your phone, open the mobile or cellular settings, choose Add eSIM or Add mobile plan, and scan the QR code to install the Paraguay eSIM. We recommend doing this over Wi-Fi before you travel, since installing and activating are two separate steps. The plan only starts counting your validity and data when the eSIM first connects to the Tigo network after you arrive in Paraguay. When you land in Asuncion, simply enable the eSIM line for data and turn roaming off on your normal SIM. That's it, you'll be online for maps, messaging and mobile internet. If anything looks unfamiliar, our 24/7 support is on hand to guide you through.

Yes, and we recommend it. Install the eSIM at home over a stable Wi-Fi connection as soon as your QR code arrives by email. Installing is separate from activating: adding the eSIM to your phone won't start your plan. Your validity and prepaid data only begin when the eSIM first connects to the Tigo network once you reach Paraguay. That means you can set everything up days in advance, then simply switch the eSIM line on for data when you land at Silvio Pettirossi International Airport. Arriving pre-configured saves you fumbling with settings on patchy airport Wi-Fi and gets you online for ride-hailing or maps right away. If you'd rather double-check your setup before departure, our 24/7 support can confirm it's ready to go.

For most travellers, yes. Standard roaming charges from your home carrier can stack up fast on data abroad, sometimes with surprise fees on your bill after the trip. This Paraguay travel eSIM uses a flat prepaid price you know upfront, with no roaming fees and no bill shock. You pay once for your data allowance and use it across Asuncion, Ciudad del Este and beyond on the Tigo network. If you run low, you simply buy another plan or top up rather than overpaying for a big bundle from the start. That keeps costs predictable whether you're visiting for a long weekend or a few weeks. Compared with everyday roaming rates, a prepaid tourist SIM almost always works out cheaper for mobile internet, while letting you keep your normal number for calls.

It depends on how you use your phone. For a week of light use, mostly maps, WhatsApp, ride-hailing around Asuncion and the odd web search, many travellers find a smaller plan comfortable. If you stream music or video, upload lots of photos, or rely on your eSIM for a hotspot, you'll want a larger allowance. As a rough guide, browsing and messaging use modest data, while video and navigation use more, so heavy users should plan for several gigabytes across seven days. The good news is you're never locked in: start with a plan that fits your trip and, if you run low exploring Ciudad del Este or the Itaipu area, just top up with another plan. Our 24/7 support can help you pick the right size before you travel.

Yes to both. This is a data-only eSIM, so there are no native calls or texts, but WhatsApp, FaceTime, iMessage and other VoIP apps work normally over the prepaid data, which is how most people stay in touch while travelling anyway. You can call, voice-note and video-chat over WhatsApp across Asuncion, Ciudad del Este and beyond on the Tigo network. Meanwhile your usual number stays active on your primary SIM, since modern phones run dual-SIM. The trick is to keep your home line's data roaming switched off so it doesn't rack up charges, while the eSIM carries all your mobile internet. You'll still receive calls and texts on your normal number if you leave that line enabled, though standard roaming rates from your home carrier may apply to those.

Yes, tethering is supported. You can turn on your phone's personal hotspot and share your Paraguay eSIM data with a laptop, tablet or a travel companion's device. It works just like normal mobile internet, so it's handy for getting work done from a cafe in Asuncion or keeping the family online from one connection. Keep in mind that hotspot use draws from the same data allowance as your phone, and tethering tends to consume data faster, especially with video calls, large downloads or multiple devices connected at once. If you plan to rely on a hotspot, choose a larger plan or simply top up with another plan when you run low. There's no extra roaming fee for tethering, just the flat prepaid price you paid upfront for your travel eSIM.

The best travel eSIM for Paraguay is one that runs on a strong local network, activates instantly and has no roaming fees, which is exactly what this plan offers. It connects to the Tigo network for fast 4G data across Asuncion, Ciudad del Este and beyond, so you're online for maps, ride-hailing and WhatsApp the moment you land. You install it in minutes by scanning a QR code we email you, with nothing physical to collect or swap. The price is flat and prepaid, you keep your normal number on your primary SIM, hotspot sharing is included, and you can top up if you run low. Backed by 24/7 support before and during your trip, it's a simple, reliable way to stay connected across Paraguay without the cost and hassle of roaming.
