About this eSIM

A Lima eSIM keeps you connected across Peru the moment you land, with no roaming fees and one-tap activation. The capital runs on fast 4G with expanding 5G, so you will have signal walking the clifftop Malecon in Miraflores, exploring the colourful Barranco district, and touring the Plaza Mayor and cathedral in the historic centre. Coverage reaches from Jorge Chavez airport across the city and holds along the coast road, so rideshare, maps and translation apps work from your first minute in Peru.

In Lima the connection is most dependable across Miraflores, Barranco and San Isidro, along the Malecon clifftops, and through the historic centre near the Plaza Mayor. It can thin out in the sprawling hillside districts on the city edges and in the coastal fog belt further out. Activate your eSIM before you fly so it works when you clear the airport, and keep your usual number on for calls. Pin your hotel and a few restaurants offline, since Lima traffic is heavy.

Pedro Castillo

I used Viasimo to travel home to California this year. The instructions were super easy to follow and I had no problems with the service for the whole 20 days that I used it. It was nice not to worry about

Magda Sutherland

Excellent service, and when I needed help the support team was right there. They answered within minutes and had me back online straight away, with no stress and no roaming surprises.

Rawiya Bikhazi

A complicated request was solved urgently within 24 hours of traveling. They are wonderful and I recommend it to everyone. Thank you Viasimo team!

Jonas K.

Landed in Tokyo, switched off flight mode and I was online before I reached passport control. No SIM-card queues, no surprise bill afterwards.

Viasimo is the easiest way to stay connected abroad: installed in minutes, working the moment you land, for a fraction of what roaming costs.
