This specific plan is valid only within Paraguay. This is the most important question. If you are visiting Iguazu Falls, you will cross into Brazil (Foz do Iguaçu) and Argentina (Puerto Iguazú). Your connection will stop at the border. For this trip, we highly recommend our Latin America Regional eSIM (e.g., "South America" plan) to stay connected seamlessly in all three countries.
This specific plan is valid only within Paraguay. If you are on a multi-country South America tour and take a bus from Asunción to Bolivia or Argentina, your connection will stop at the border. For this, our Latin America Regional eSIM is the best solution.
No! This is a major advantage. Buying a physical local SIM card in Asunción (ASU) Airport requires you to find a kiosk (Tigo, Claro), use (often limited) Spanish, and go through a mandatory passport registration process. Our eSIM is 100% digital, requires no ID registration, and can be installed before you fly, so you are connected the moment you land.
To give you the best speed and coverage, our eSIM connects to Paraguay’s premium providers, typically Tigo or Claro. Tigo is widely regarded as having the most extensive and reliable 4G network, especially in rural areas outside the capital.
You must set expectations. You will have reliable 4G/LTE coverage in the capital, Asunción, and the second city, Ciudad del Este. However, the Gran Chaco region is one of the most sparsely populated areas on Earth. You will have a signal in the main towns along the Trans-Chaco highway, but must expect long "dead zones" with no signal in between.
Most modern phones do, but you must check our specific list here: eSIM Compatible Devices to be 100% sure before purchasing.
