Data and calling while traveling in Guatemala
The eSIMs for Guatemala can be purchased with a 3GB and 6GB data bundle.
Whatsapp with eSIM Guatemala
All calls that run over the Internet such as with Whatsapp, Skype and FaceTime are of course also possible with the eSIMs for Guatemala. You will then use the data bundle on the eSIM. You can always continue to use Whatsapp with your own existing contacts, groups and chats. After installing a prepaid eSIM, Whatsapp may ask if you want to create a new identity or if everything should stay as it was. If so, choose the latter and nothing will change. You can then continue to send messages and make calls with Whatsapp as usual.
Coverage with eSIM Guatemala
Coverage in Guatemala is particularly good in the cities and larger towns. However, much of the country consists of beautiful rainforests with many volcanoes. There the phone will not work. In the capital, Guatemala City, and a wide area around it, you can just make calls and use the Internet. The same goes for the other cities such as Antigua. In between in places such as Tikal National Park and near Lake Atitlán, coverage will be less. On the Caribbean coast, only in some parts, like Livingston, can Whatsapps be sent from the tropical beach.

Great compliments
Big compliments to Airport Telecom ! For my vacation to the Philippines, I received an Unlimited Sim card that really worked perfectly everywhere. The Philippines are very vast but I had coverage everywhere. A travel companion only had problems with a locally purchased Sim card so I was happy with my Sim from Airport Telecom ! I recommend this company to everyone for a carefree vacation. Anko

What an excellent way
Used a sim from Airport Telecom for our trip to Tanzania. What a great way to travel comfortably and still remain reachable. The excellent explanations made for a relaxing trip and the accessibility was top notch. Many thanks Robert and Marion.

Top service
Top service. Purchased a sim card with 12 gb for 9 days in California. After some questions both via email and over the phone I made the choice to purchase it from Airport Telecom. Clear instructions and fast home delivery! I activated the card on advice at home, changed SIM cards on the plane and once we landed in Los Angeles we immediately had a stable connection to the network.
