Paraguay: Buy the Best eSIMs | 2024 Guide

Paraguay – known for its cheeses, for having the world's largest water reserver & for being one of the nations where old-school duels are still allowed.

But besides these (interesting) facts, Paraguay is also a fun travel destination.

The Monday Falls is probably the country's most famous waterfall.

Ybycuí National Park has several trails, waterfalls & locations you can stim in.

And the Misión Jesuística de la Santísima Trinidad is the remains of an old mission.

Oh, do not forget about Palacio de López – the presidential office

If you hate water, Paraguay may not fully be for you, but there are many non-water related activities in the country.

You may have read that staying in Paraguay may cost you three to ten million Paraguayan Guaraní, which sounds expensive.

But besides these nonsensical high currency numbers, Paraguay is one of the cheaper travel destinations in South America.

But before you share your colorful Paraguay experiences online, be aware that international roaming can be expensive.

Travel eSIMs can be a much more affordable way to stay connected, even in Paraguay.

How much will a travel eSIM for Paraguay cost?

You can get an eSIM for Paraguay for as low as 8.50 USD and up to 60 USD from Airalo, Alosim & Holafly offering between 1 GB and 10 GB to be used locally, in the Americas, or globally.

While this may sound a bit pricey but international roaming will be even more expensive.

So yeah, these travel eSIMs can be worth it – especially if you favor convenience

In this guide, I will go over the travel eSIM options offered by Airalo, Alosim & Holafly. Let's go.

Buying an eSIM for Paraguay Guide (Airalo, Holafly, Nomad & Triple Communication)

In a Hurry? A Quick Introduction

I will write about eight eSIM options in Paraguay (and explain why they are included).

But if you want to quickly check out what the best eSIMs are for Paraguay without my analysis and explanations, here is an overview of the eSIMs covered in this guide:

Note: the promo codes mentioned above can also be used for regional and global eSIMs (they are not restricted to country-specific eSIMs only). In other news, the eSIM providers are in alphabetical order per grouping (Paraguay-only, regional & global) – not in order of preference (you would have to read the complete guide to find out which eSIMs I love the most for Paraguay 😜).

Let's truly get started, shall we?


eSIMs offered by Paraguayan Mobile Operators

Suppose you want to get the best service and reception available in Paraguay.

In that case, it is better to get a SIM card or travel eSIM from the local mobile operators, which in this case would be the Paraguayan ones.

Not only will you not have to deal with latency, but you also get a higher priority on the network because you are a direct customer of the mobile operator instead of a roamer.

And with most travel eSIMs, you are roaming on the network(s) of the local mobile operator(s).

But that is not always the case – the slow speeds part, that is.

Some mobile operators throttle the speeds of prepaid customers because they want more people to get a postpaid plan.

Unfortunately, travelers cannot get postpaid plans – so one way to avoid throttling is by using a travel eSIM.

Yes – travel eSIMs sometimes have faster speeds than native prepaid customers because of throttling.

So, which Paraguayan mobile operators offer eSIMs to prepaid customers?

At the moment, no Paraguayan mobile operator offers eSIMs to prepaid customers.

However, you have these three options for getting an eSIM for your trip to Paraguay: Airalo (with Triple Communications), Alosim & Holafly.

One of the main advantages of getting a travel eSIM for Paraguay is that (1) you do not have to try to speak (broken) Spanish to get a local eSIM, (2) you can set up the eSIM before arriving in Paraguay and activate it upon landing (with most eSIMs listed in this guide) & (3) you do not have to deal with Paraguay's SIM card registration laws.

(Why does this matter? Because hackers can steal your (critical) personal data if the mobile operator does not secure your data properly, like what happened in Australia (10 million Optus customers were affected, where info, like passport numbers, were stolen (including mine – luckily not my passport number but my boyfriend was not as lucky) or Indonesia (1.3 billion SIM card-related data was hacked)).

I have to mention that travel eSIMs will be more expensive than local eSIMs and SIM cards, but they are more convenient.

Moreover, I have plenty of experience with the eSIMs from Airalo, Alosim, Holafly, Nomad & SimOptions so I can vouch for them – so can many Phone Travel Wiz readers!

So let's go over what the travel eSIMs offer for Paraguay!

Airalo eSIMs for Paraguay (Triple Communications)

If you have read any of my eSIM or SIM card buying guides before, then you know I am a big fan of Airalo.

Not only does Airalo have eSIMs for most countries (200+) of any eSIM platform, but they are also often one of the cheapest while offering fantastic service in terms of speeds and reception.

That is because Airalo usually partners up with the mobile operator with the best coverage, the fastest speeds, both, or even multiple operators.

That way, you get the best bang for your buck 🤑.

Wait… you have no idea who or what Airalo is? I have an in-depth review explaining how Airalo works and all its options, based on four years of using Airalo eSIMs – you can read it now or later (I will briefly introduce Airalo anyway in this guide).

Airalo General Review & In-Depth Analysis by Phone Travel Wiz

Back to Paraguay, the Airalo Triple Communications uses the Tigo Paraguay network.

Tip: I recommend manually selecting the Tigo Paraguay network instead of Tigo Paraguay for the best network performance (best coverage and fastest speed).

You have four Airalo Triple Communications eSIM options:

  1. Paraguay/Triple Communications 1 GB eSIM for 7 days, costing 8.50 USD – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
  2. Paraguay/Triple Communications 2 GB eSIM for 15 days, costing 16 USD – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
  3. Paraguay/Triple Communications 3 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 22.50 USD
  4. Paraguay/Triple Communications 5 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 35 USD

Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in October based on data up to the 11th of October (2023 data only).

Airalo Paraguay Triple Communications eSIM with Prices

I can already tell you that Airalo has the cheapest eSIM options for Paraguay in this guide.

Moreover, you will have one of the, if not the best, best network experience with the Airalo Triple Communications eSIM compared to some/most other travel eSIMs because of the network the eSIM uses.

What makes things even more pleasant is that you can top up your eSIM when it is expiring or when you are out of data without the need to purchase a new eSIM.

But you may think that a local SIM card or eSIM will (still) be cheaper than Airalo or any other travel eSIM.

And you are right – that is true in most cases.

But with some countries making getting a prepaid SIM card a hassle, involving long queues, excessive registration requirements, and long activation periods, the (slightly) higher prices for an Airalo eSIM can be worth it.

SIM Card Registration Worldwide Tool by Phone Travel Wiz

So while you technically could get cheaper plans, the question is whether you can actually get them or not.

Most mobile operators will only sell you (overpriced) tourist SIM cards or the most expensive plans because of “mandatory top-up requirements” (which are often lies to take more of your money anyway).

Anyway, you should be aware that while you can get up to 4G/LTE connection with the Airalo Triple Communications eSIM, your speeds will most likely not be faster than someone using a local SIM card.

That is because you are roaming on the Tigo Paraguay network instead of being a native customer.

But that does not mean you will have (extremely) slow speeds – just slower than native customers.

In the Americas, mobile data speeds are not that fast as other regions (East Asia and Europe) anyway, so the difference is small.

Anyway, the Airalo Triple Communications eSIM is an eSIM LOVED by many Phone Travel Wiz readers, and the complaints about it are minimal.

The eSIMs are affordable, the data allowances can be tailored to your needs (1 GB to 5 GB + top-ups are available) & you will have a smooth network experience (in most cases).

I test and use Airalo's eSIMs in every country I go to, so you better check out my Airalo eSIM reviews and see if I have written a review for the eSIM you are interested in.

Alosim eSIMs for Paraguay

Alosim Logo
© Alosim

Alosim is a young eSIM provider covering 130+ countries.

Not only have I only started using its eSIMs, but they have been up and running for more than a year.

For the eSIM industry… that makes Alosim a veteran 🗿.

One thing I like about Alosim is that its eSIMs have 5G NR access in popular destinations.

Unfortunately, that is not the case for Paraguay yet… but that could change soon 😏.

I include Alosim in my eSIM guides for the Americas because they are reasonably priced.

The Americas, except for Canada, Mexico & the United States, is a difficult region for eSIM providers to enter and to offer reasonably priced eSIMs, I have been told by many eSIM providers.

There is an eSIM provider, Instabridge, charging 515 USD for 5 GB for Honduras… yeah… and they wonder why I do not want promote them 🤡.

Expensive eSIM Plans for Honduras

Luckily, that is not the case with AloSIM, which uses the Tigo Paraguay network.

You have five Alosim Paraguay eSIM options:

  1. Paraguay 1 GB eSIM for 7 days, costing 8.50 USD
  2. Paraguay 2 GB eSIM for 15 days, costing 16 USD
  3. Paraguay 3 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 22.50 USD
  4. Paraguay 5 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 35 USD
  5. Paraguay 10 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 60 USD
Alosim Paraguay eSIMs

And as I am always looking out for you, use code PTW for 5% off your Alosim eSIM purchase!

Getting an Alosim eSIM is straightforward and so is installing it.

Just note that you have to manually change the Access Point Name (APN) to alosim instead of the default one, as in the screenshot below.

Alosim APN Settings
The “Name” can be whatever, but “Alosim” works. The APN must “alosim” without any capital letters. You can skip all the other settings (such as proxy, port, username, password, etc.).

Fortunately, the installation page mentions this too, but it is still something that does not have to be done often with most eSIM providers.

Resulting in you thinking the eSIM does not work, even though it will when you change the settings.

But besides that, Alosim has one of the cheapest eSIM plans for the Americas!


Holafly eSIMs for Paraguay

Holafly Logo

Another eSIM provider I recommend is Holafly, which covers 150+ countries.

In June 2022, Holafly introduced something that no other travel eSIM provider had done by that time (that I am aware of).

You can now get unlimited data plans in all European Union member states, many East- and Southeast Asian countries & a handful of others.

Wait… there is an eSIM provider offering unlimited data plans, and I (you reading this) have never heard of it? Who is Holafly? 🤔

I have an in-depth review explaining how Holafly works and all its options, based on two years of using Holafly eSIMs – you can read it now or later (I will briefly introduce Holafly anyway in this guide).

Holafly General Review & In-Depth Analysis by Phone Travel Wiz

Unfortunately, unlimited data plans are unavailable in country for now, but Holafly informed me it intends to have unlimited data eSIMs for all supported countries (but it will take a while).

What about myself? I have yet to be throttled, it seems. But unlike most travelers, I usually have multiple local SIM cards and travel eSIMs for testing purposes while I travel, so I can spread out my data usage among them. For countries without unlimited data plans, Holafly does not throttle speeds at all.

In Paraguay, Holafly's eSIM uses the Claro Paraguay and Movistar Paraguay networks.

You have only six Paraguay eSIM options with Holafly:

  1. Paraguay unlimited Data eSIM for 5 days, costing 29 USD/29 EUR/24 GBP/44 AUD/37 CAD
  2. Paraguay unlimited Data eSIM for 7 days, costing 37 USD/37 EUR/34 GBP/54 AUD/47 CAD
  3. Paraguay unlimited Data eSIM for 10 days, costing 44 USD/44 EUR/37 GBP/64 AUD/57 CAD
  4. Paraguay unlimited Data eSIM for 15 days, costing 47 USD/47 EUR/39 GBP/67 AUD/64 CAD
  5. Paraguay unlimited Data eSIM for 20 days, costing 59 USD/59 EUR/49 GBP/84 AUD/77 CAD
  6. Paraguay unlimited Data eSIM for 30 days, costing 79 USD/79 EUR/67 GBP/114 AUD/104 CAD
  7. Paraguay 6 GB eSIM for 15 days, costing 44 USD/47 EUR/34 GBP/67 AUD/59 CAD
Holafly Paraguay eSIMs

Yes, these are not the cheapest eSIMs out there.

Do note that the Holafly Paraguay eSIM cannot be topped up or extended.

So you need to buy another eSIM when you are out of data or the eSIM expires; you have to purchase a new one.

And do not install the eSIM (by scanning the QR code or manually entering the activation code) too early – preferably

But… you can get 5% off each and any Holafly purchase (so it does not have to be the Paraguay eSIM) when you use code PHONETRAVELWIZ – fantastic, right 🤩?

I test and use Holafly's eSIMs in every country I go to, so you better check out my Holafly eSIM reviews and see if I have written a review for the eSIM you are interested in.

Holafly Travel eSIM Reviews by Phone Travel Wiz

Best eSIMs for the Americas & the World (including Paraguay)

So what if you plan to visit a neighboring country of Paraguay?

Unfortunately, you cannot use your Airalo, Alosim, Holafly, or Nomad eSIMs in any country than Paraguay

Luckily, some of the eSIM providers mentioned so far do have eSIMs that can be used throughout most or all of the Americas.

And there are also some global eSIMs with attractive prices that can be useful if you visit the Americas and another continent or region.

I highly recommend these Americas or global eSIMs if you plan to visit multiple American countries to save money!


Airalo Latamlink eSIM

Following Airalo's popular Eurolink eSIM, which can be used in 39 European countries, Airalo introduced the Asialink eSIM, which can be used in 14 East- and Southeast Asian countries 1 a bit later.

Eventually, it also launched the Latamlink eSIM, which can be used in 19 countries in the Americas.

There is not much to say about this eSIM because it is straightforward, except that the data allowances are not as generous as the Asian and European counterparts.

But as I said in the Alosim section, it is difficult for eSIM providers to enter the Latin American market, let alone selling eSIMs at reasonable prices, so we gotta take what we have, I guess.

The Airalo Latamlink eSIM can be used in the following 19 countries:

  • Argentina
  • Belize 1
  • Bolivia
  • Brazil
  • Chile
  • Colombia
  • Costa Rica
  • Ecuador
  • El Salvador
  • French Guiana
  • Guatemala
  • Honduras
  • Mexico
  • Nicaragua
  • Panama
  • Paraguay
  • Peru
  • Uruguay
  • Venezuela 1

Below is an overview of how much each Airalo Latamlink eSIM costs:

  1. Latin America/Latamlink 1 GB eSIM for 1 day, costing 5 USD
  2. Latin America/Latamlink 2 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 28 USD – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
  3. Latin America/Latamlink 3 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 39 USD – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
  4. Latin America/Latamlink 5 GB eSIM for 30 days, costing 60 USD – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers

Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in October based on data up to the 11th of October (2023 data only).

Holafly South America eSIM

Holafly also has an eSIM for the Americas.

Holafly's South America eSIM used to be my top recommendation for those wanting to stay connected in this region.

But then Airalo launched its Latamlink eSIM, which gives you more choices (four ranging from 1 GB to 5 GB), better coverage (19 countries) & longer validity (up to 30 days).

The Holafly South America eSIM gives you 6 GB of data for 15 days and can be used in the following 13 countries:

  • Argentina
  • Brazil
  • Chile
  • Colombia
  • Costa Rica
  • Ecuador
  • El Salvador
  • Guatemala
  • Honduras
  • Nicaragua
  • Paraguay
  • Peru
  • Uruguay

Airalo Discover(+) eSIM (formerly Discover Global)

Airalo Discover+ eSIM

Airalo was probably the first eSIM provider to introduce a global eSIM – it was called Discover Global.

Discover Global eSIM Airalo

I have had decent to good experiences with that eSIM, but I felt it could improve.

Such as extending the validity of most plans (maximum used to be 180 days) and having 5G NR access in popular destinations (like many regional Airalo eSIMs do nowadays, even country-specific ones).

In August 2023, Airalo made a radical change to its global eSIM.

Until then, the eSIM could be used in about 85 countries – always up to 4G/LTE (with some networks on 3G only).

This eSIM was powered by FL1 Telecom Liechtenstein (network name can be Mobilkom (Liechtenstein) at times).

This mobile operator worked well in Europe and some Asian countries, but it was often one of the slowest performing (Airalo eSIMs).

Now, Airalo's global eSIM is called Discover(+).

Airalo Discover eSIM
© Airalo
Airalo Discover+ eSIM
© Airalo

It is powered by eSIM Go (which is basically Drei Austria).

eSIM Go Logo
© eSIM Go
Three (3) Logo
© Three (3)

The difference between the Airalo Discover and Airalo Discover+ eSIMs is that the latter has calling and texting functionalities (with an Austrian +43 phone number).

Because of this, Discover+ eSIMs can be up to 20 USD more expensive than regular Discover eSIMs.

For the previous Airalo Discover Global eSIMs, you paid the same prices as the Discover+ eSIMs for worse availability (85+ countries instead of 130+) and no calling or texting at all.

So… it is an upgrade 😎.

Not only that, but you (finally) get 5G NR access in quite some countries (55+)1 as well.

1 click here, press select the variant you want & click on network to see which network(s) allow for 5G NR access. You often have access to multiple local networks, but not all have 5G NR access (and some do not even give you 4G/LTE access)

Airalo Discover(+) eSIM Network Availability (3G-4G-5G)

Moreover, the most expensive option is now valid for a whole year (365 days) instead of 180 days.

The Airalo Discover(+) eSIM can be used in the following 130+ countries:

Interested in using the Airalo Discover(+) eSIM in another country or countries? Read my Airalo Global eSIM review (tested in numerous countries and counting).

Before Airalo updated its global eSIM, I used the old version (Discover Global) in 15+ countries. From August 2023, I will only test the Discover+ eSIM. This is why some country-specific reviews (like Global in Japan) still refer to the Discover Global one and show the old eSIM image instead of Discover+.

1 with 5G NR access

If you get this eSIM from SimOptions, which I recommend, you will pay 39.90 USD.

The main issue I have with the AIS eSIM2FLY Global eSIM is its short validity.

Making it hard to call it an actual global eSIM… unless you can somehow visit 140+ countries within 15 days – something not even I can do🧐.

Still, it is a relatively affordable global eSIM covering 140+ countries… with 5G NR access!

Besides Nomad's eSIM for Paraguay, it also has a global eSIM that can be used in Paraguay and a total of 109/139 countries (including most European ones).

While Nomad's Global eSIM covers a few more countries than Airalo's Discover(+) eSIMs (109/139 vs. 130 (previously 85+)), it is significantly more expensive than Airalo (but not the most costly global eSIM in this guide).

Even so, Phone Travel Wiz readers have shown interest in this eSIM and have had positive experiences with it, especially after Nomad improved it (with its 139 Country Plan powered by eSIM Go (has 5G NR access in 50+ countries) instead of the 109 Country Plan by Truphone (4G/LTE only).

Anyway, you have these six Nomad Global eSIMs:

  1. Global (109 Countries Plan) 1 GB eSIM for 7 days, costing 25 USD/24 EUR/21 GBP/34.50 CAD/23 CHF – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
  2. Global (139 Countries Plan) 1 GB eSIM for 7 days, costing 19 USD/18.50 EUR/16 GBP/26 CAD/17.50 CHF

Buying a SIM Card in Paraguay

Want to just use a SIM card but not your current one because roaming will be criminally expensive?

Consider getting a Paraguayan SIM card instead – local SIM cards are the cheapest way to stay connected abroad.
