Navigating Cell Phone Usage in Guatemala: International Roaming vs. Local SIM Cards


If you're planning a trip to Guatemala, you may be wondering if you'll be able to use your cell phone there and whether you'll need a local SIM card. The good news is that you can use your cell phone in Guatemala, and you can either keep your current plan or purchase a local SIM card.

If you decide to keep your current plan, you will need to check with your mobile provider to see if they offer international roaming in Guatemala. This will allow you to use your phone as you normally would, but it can be quite expensive.

Alternatively, you can purchase a local SIM card in Guatemala, which will allow you to have a local phone number and access to local rates. This is often a more affordable option, and it will also allow you to easily stay in touch with your in-country experts at Lokal Travel.
