Nowadays, having a smartphone is practically a necessity. Whether for communication or for using social networks (uploading photos or videos), having a smart mobile device opens the doors to a world of possibilities that will facilitate contact with various important people. In addition, it allows us to be constantly updated with the world.
It is important to mention that given the conditions in which communication works nowadays, we must have a data plan to be able to take advantage of a smartphone considering all its functions. These range from functioning as a map, serving as a translator, allowing calls or sending messages through some applications.
While visiting Peru you will need to maintain communication. In order for you to have a good trip, here at PeruSIM we will show you what options you can have in order to access the internet from your smartphone.
Avoid roaming

One option to be able to access the internet through your smartphone is to have an international roaming plan. This is a service that allows users from other countries to access their mobile lines in their home country.
However, this service usually has very high costs, may have certain restrictions or may have certain limitations. This can end up hurting the user at the least opportune moment.
So, what solutions do we have?
Mobile plans for tourists
Having a mobile plan in Peru may seem complicated since you need to have a local ID that allows you to access a phone number. In addition, if you were able to access a conventional postpaid plan, you may have to cancel it at the end of your trip, so you will have to be attentive before you leave.
At PeruSIM we offer plans according to the needs you may have, which also have various benefits:
No contract plans
We don\’t want you to be aware of how much time you have left to cancel your plan. Our prepaid plans are made so that you can simply stop paying for it and it is automatically cancelled.
Control plans
You don\’t have to worry about hidden costs or additional charges that your postpaid plan may generate, you will only use what you buy. After you have finished both your cycle and your megabytes, you will have to recharge it again.
