Peru – known for one of the seven World Wonders (Machu Picchu), plenty of ancient ruins, and its impressive culture.
While many wish to see Machu Picchu, there are many things to do in this wonderful country.
Many ruins and canyons can be visited, including the Sacred Valley, Colca Canyon & the Nazca Lines.
Plazas such as Plaza de Armas de Lime or Plaza de Armas.
Or its nature, including the Gocta Waterfall, the Taquile Island & its plenty of beaches.
And of course, the nightlife is thrilling in Peru.
As you can see, there is no need to be bored in Peru.
Before you post your Peru-life photos online, be aware that international roaming can be expensive.
That is why local SIM cards, such as Peruvian ones, are recommended because they are almost always the cheapest way to stay connected when abroad.
Luckily, SIM cards are affordable in Peru.
You can get a Peruvian SIM card for 10 PEN (2.65 USD | 20 PEN (5.25 USD) for Bitel) in the official and partner stores of Movistar, Claro, Entel & Bitel, or from resellers, including kiosks and pharmacies. Claro sells SIM cards at Lima-Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM) for 50 USD.
Yeah, you better not get that SIM card at the airport unless you like to waste money.
But as you can see, SIM cards are affordable in Peru, except for at the airport. And the cost of mobile data is low too.
In this guide, I will tell you everything you need to know about buying a SIM card in Peru. Let's get started.

Can You Buy a SIM Card in Peru?
Anyone living in or visiting Peru can buy a Peruvian SIM card from the mobile network operators (Movistar, Claro, Entel & Bitel) in their stores or from resellers (grocery stores, kiosks & pharmacies), with some restrictions.
Officially, your biometrics (fingerprints) need to match the one(s) recorded in the national ID register of RENIEC (Registro Nacional de Identificación y Estado Civil).
This means that your fingerprint(s) will be checked when purchasing a Peruvian SIM card.
As a tourist, your fingerprint will not be in the said database, obviously.
Fortunately, travelers are allowed to solely use their passports when purchasing a local SIM card.
Resellers, such as kiosks, are unlikely able to do that or do not even know about this exception to the rule.
Therefore, you should visit the official (partner) stores to get yourself a Peruvian SIM card.
But be aware – stores in rural Peru may also not know about this rule.
And even some stores in urban Peru may refuse to sell you a SIM card because of this regulation (as heavy fines have been levied for failing to check biometrics in the past) – even when tourists are exempt.
Besides that (potential) restriction, you are free to use Peruvian SIM cards.
You do have to comply with the SIM card registration regulations.
Moreover, you need a phone that supports the frequencies used in the country (preferably all of them to have the most optimal experience while in Peru).
Furthermore, you need to have a SIM-lock-free device.
Where Can You Buy a SIM Card in Peru?
You can get a Peruvian SIM card in Movistar, Claro, Entel & Bitel stores and third-party stores, including kiosks, pharmacies & grocery stores. It is also possible to get SIM cards at Lima-Jorge Chávez International Airport (Claro only) at an inflated price.
You can expect to pay the following for Peruvian SIM cards:
- Movistar Perú: 10 PEN
- Claro Perú: 10 PEN
- Entel Perú: 20 PEN
- Bitel (formerly Viettel Perú): 10 PEN
For up-to-date PEN:your currency (let's say USD) exchange rates, use the Wise Currency Converter tool.

Can You Use Your Phone in Peru?
Peru uses GSM for its cellular communications, meaning that you need a GSM-capable phone to use your phone in the country. CMDA-phones will not work in Peru, but there is about a 99% chance you have a GSM phone anyway.
You also need to be aware of the ITU Regions to determine whether your phone will work in other parts of the world.
Although there are three ITU Regions, you only need to know these two terms: American Frequencies and European Frequencies.
Peru uses American Frequencies, which are used in the Americas (North-, Central– & South America + the Caribbean – ITU Region 2). Phones sold in the Americas typically have no issues when using their phone in other ITU Region 2 countries.
In Africa, Asia (including the Middle East), Europe, and Oceania (ITU Regions 1 & 3), they typically use European Frequencies, meaning phones bought in those regions can be used in countries using European Frequencies without issues.
If you purchased your phone in the Americas (ITU Region 2), you should not experience any issues with using your phone in Peru.
Do note that Peru uses Band 28 for frequency spectrum 700 MHz. This band for 700 MHz is more common in Latin America but not at all in North America.
If you bought your phone in Africa, Asia, Europe, or Oceania (ITU Regions 1 & 3) and have a low/medium-end device without Tri-Band or Quad-Band support, then there is a possibility you cannot use your phone when in Peru or can only use slower networks (3G or 2G).
If you have a medium/high-end device with Tri-Band or Quad-Band support, you can use your phone in Peru (to some extent) – also on 4G/LTE and 5G NR.
Mobile Operators, Networks & Frequencies in Peru
Peru has four mobile operators offering prepaid services that are easily accessible to travelers:
- Movistar Perú
- Claro Perú
- Entel Perú
- Bitel (formerly Viettel Perú)
The following frequencies are used in Peru:
- 2G: 850 MHz & 1900 MHz
- 3G: 850 MHz & 1900 MHz
- 4G/LTE: 700 MHz (Band 28), 900 MHz (Band 8), 1700 MHz (Band 4) & 1900 MHz (Band 2)
- 5G NR: 3500 MHz (n78) – fixed-wireless only (for now)
You can learn more about frequencies in the video below.
To check whether your phone will work in Peru, check out this page by Kimovil or this one by Will My Phone Work (outdated, unfortunately, but extremely user-friendly – useful for phones launched in or before 2019. It does not check for 5G NR compatibility).
Again, make sure your phone is unlocked. Otherwise, you will not be able to use any SIM card except the one from your home operator (meaning you have to roam internationally or buy another unlocked phone that does support the frequencies listed above).
If you want to learn how international roaming works, this guide explains it in-depth. If you wonder why it is often so expensive to roam, this article explains the hidden reason they do not want you to know.
A Note about Inkacel (formerly Virgin Mobile Perú) & Cuy Móvil
Peru is home to two Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) called Inkacel (formerly known as Virgin Mobile Perú) and Cuy Móvil.
Inkacel is a Movistar Perú MVNO, while Cuy Móvil is a Claro Perú MVNO.
Inkacel SIM cards are hard to get because most dealers do not know how to register the SIM card without a national ID.
Even if you manage to get an Inkacel SIM card legally, the effort may not be worth it because the difference in prices and plans compared to the other mobile operators is minimal.
Cuy Móvil is a youth-focused MVNO primarily operated through its apps.
While Cuy Móvil SIM cards can be registered much easier as a tourist than Inkacel SIM cards, you may still not be able to do so.
The mobile operator has a side project called PeruSIM.
It allows you to order a SIM card while still abroad and be delivered to your home.
Or it can be delivered to the place of stay in Peru.
The issue is that PeruSIM is at least double, sometimes triple, the regular prices charged by the mobile operators.
And if you visit a Cuy Móvil store as a tourist, they may refuse to sell a regular Cuy Móvil SIM card and insist you get a PeruSIM SIM card.
As a result, both Inkacel and Cuy Móvil will not be covered in this guide.
5G NR in Peru
Commercial 5G NR has been available in Peru since March 2021. It is available on the Claro Perú and Entel Perú networks. However, it is only available for fixed-wireless customers. Mobile users cannot use 5G NR (yet).
Claro Perú has already pledged that prepaid customers can use it once 5G NR is available to mobile broadband customers without additional costs.
Best SIM Card in Peru
If you want to buy the best SIM card in Peru, I recommend going with Movistar or Claro. Movistar has the best coverage and 4G/LTE availability (the latter together with Entel). Claro is the fastest option and has the best 4G/LTE coverage experience.
Best eSIM in Peru
Unfortunately, none of the mobile operators offer eSIM to prepaid customers in Peru (yet).
Note that the Peruvian mobile operators require your identification (passport) for (future) eSIMs and physical SIM cards (will be discussed later).
However, you can also get a travel eSIM from various eSIM providers.
The list below is not exhaustive – many more providers have eSIMs for Peru.
But these are the ones I have tried and had pleasant experiences with.
Moreover, they are reasonably priced, which I find very important (you will not see me recommending an eSIM I would not buy myself).
So here are the four best eSIMs for Peru:
- Airalo's Peru Habla Telefon eSIM with three choices between 1 GB and 5 GB (cheapest)
- Airalo's Latamlink eSIM with four choices between 1 GB and 5 GB (can be used in 19 Latin American countries)
- Holafly Peru eSIM with one 6 GB option (most generous data plan)
- Nomad Peru eSIM with three choices between 1 GB and 5 GB (most eSIM options)
Because this is the SIM card buying guide for Peru, I will not spend too much time about travel eSIMs here and throughout this guide (but I will still do here and there).
If you want to learn more about the best eSIMs for Peru, you better check out my Peru eSIM buying guide.
It is as helpful and comprehensive as this guide but about eSIMs instead 😜.
SIM Card Registration in Peru
SIM card registration, with the use of your passport information, is mandatory in Peru. This will be done at the point of sale.
- Find out which countries have SIM card registration regulations and what is required from you (lookup tool)
Your biometrics (fingerprints) taken at the point of sale will be checked and verified against the fingerprint(s) in the national ID register of RENIEC (Registro Nacional de Identificación y Estado Civil).
Every Peruvian citizen or resident will have their fingerprints in the said database.
And this can cause issues when you try to buy a Peruvian SIM card.
While travelers are exempt from this regulation because their fingerprints are not in the database, some stores are unaware that foreigners can use their passport (number) to register their SIM cards.
This is especially the case in rural Peru or when you try to buy a SIM card from a reseller, such as kiosks and grocery stores.
It is recommended to visit the official stores of the mobile operators (Movistar Perú, Claro Perú, Entel Perú, or Bitel (formerly Viettel Perú) stores) instead of third-party stores.
Unlike third-party stores, these employees are more likely aware of how to register SIM cards with a passport.
Even then, be prepared to be rejected when trying to buy a SIM card at any mobile operator store or hear that they do not sell prepaid SIM cards there.
Simply go to another store, preferably in a touristy area, and you will be fine.
Getting top-up cards or recharging through eTopUp can be done at third-party stores without any issues.
While the Claro employees at Lima-Jorge Chávez International Airport know how to register SIM cards without the biometrics match, I would highly discourage you from purchasing a SIM card at the airport.
You will pay 19 times more (2.50 USD vs. 50 USD) for a SIM card sold at an airport than anywhere else.
Peru Mobile Speeds, Mobile Internet Prices & Insights
Mobile data rates in South America are low, making local SIM cards an affordable way to stay connected in this region.
But if you ask the locals, they will say things are still too expensive… so do not say it to them ;)
Anyway, how cheap is mobile data in Peru?
The average price for 1 GB of data in Peru is 1.15 USD, below the South American average of 1.97 USD. The world average is 4.07 USD.
In fact, Peru is the fourth-cheapest country for mobile data in South America.
But you might have noticed something weird in the image above… the Falkland Islands – what is going there?
Long story short for now (but you can learn more about it in the Falkland Islands SIM card buying guide), but anyone living there is being scammed by the local mobile operator.
If I included the Falkland Islands‘ figures in the South American average, the average cost of data would be 5.25 USD instead of 1.97 USD.
So yeah, I do not include it in the average.
Enough about prices – let's talk about mobile data speeds in Peru. Is it fast?
No, but it is useable.
Peru's average mobile download speed is around 25 Mbps, less than half the global average.
Peru's neighbors, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia & Ecuador, have slower average mobile download speeds than Peru.
Brazil is an exception – they have faster speeds than Peru. Unless you have a prepaid SIM card – prepaid customers are actively throttled in Brazil.
So yeah, Peru is the best in this sub-region, unintentionally.
Alright, which mobile operator is the fastest in Peru?
That would be Claro Perú, with a speed score of 34.05. Followed by Entel Perú (27.40), Movistar Perú (22.31) & Bitel (10.20).
Overall, the best mobile operators are Movistar Perú and Entel Perú.
Yeah, it looks like Bitel should be avoided at all costs.
Even though Bitel is, on average, the cheapest, the difference between Even though Bitel is the cheapest on average, the difference between Bitel and Claro, for example, is negligible.
With low SIM card prices, fair nationwide coverage, decent mobile download speeds, and low mobile data rates, you should have a decent network experience in Peru.
Currency in Peru
Peru uses the Peruvian Sol with the symbol PEN (which will be used throughout this guide).
However, prices are often listed as S/. For example, 25 PEN = S/ 25.
For reference, below are some exchange rates between PEN and USD (US Dollars):
- 1 PEN = 0.25 USD
- 10 PEN = 2.65 USD
- 100 PEN = 26.30 USD
For up-to-date PEN:your currency (let's say USD) exchange rates, use the Wise Currency Converter tool.
If your credit/debit card charges you foreign exchange fees, get yourself a Wise Borderless Account and Debit Card.
Their fees are MUCH lower than banks and credit card companies charge you (and Wise is transparent about their fees, unlike banks).
I have saved literal THOUSANDS of Australian Dollars and Euros, my main currencies, when using Wise abroad when traveling compared to my debit and credit cards.

Bitel (formerly Viettel Perú)
Bitel is the smallest mobile operator in Peru.
It is owned by Viettel, which is directly owned by the Vietnamese Ministry of Defense.
Bitel was Viettel's first foreign market where the country's GDP exceeded the one of Vietnam.
Bitel uses the following frequencies:
- 2G: N/A – never had it
- 3G: 900 MHz & 1900 MHz
- 4G/LTE: 900 MHz (Band 8)

* Topping Up Options & Methods + Balance Check
* Plans & Packages
* APN/Internet Settings
Coverage – Bitel
Bitel has the worst coverage throughout Peru.
Viettel, the company that owns Bitel, often focuses on building coverage in rural parts of the country first before concentrating on urban areas.
It does this because rural areas are often underserved (with no or barely any coverage).
This approach has been successful in almost all of the markets Viettel entered.
In Peru, however, it has worked somewhat, especially in the beginning.
Nowadays, its competitors have great (or even better coverage than Bitel) coverage, for Peruvian standards, in rural parts of the country too.
Below is Bitel's coverage map produced by Speedtest:
