Asunción eSIM

68 Paraguay plans · from $6.21

Asunción is where almost every Paraguay trip starts, and it has the country's strongest, steadiest signal. A travel eSIM is live before you clear the taxi rank at Silvio Pettirossi airport; the real coverage questions start once you head out to Ciudad del Este, the Chaco or the Jesuit ruins.

Landing at Silvio Pettirossi International Airport (ASU)

About 15km north of downtown Asunción; a travel eSIM activates as soon as you land, well before the taxi queue at arrivals.

How “Unlimited” works: Never cut off — each plan gives a set amount of full-speed data, then a slower speed. The exact allowance and speed are shown on every plan.Read more

Unlimited plans never run out and your eSIM is never disconnected, but every one has a fair-use limit: a set amount of full-speed data, after which the speed is reduced. The amounts differ between plans — most give a daily full-speed allowance that refills every 24 hours from when you first activate the eSIM, while Premium plans give a larger allowance for the whole plan instead. Each plan states its own allowance and the speed after it before you buy. At the reduced speed, messaging, maps, email and light browsing still work; video streaming and video calls may not. If you want every gigabyte at full speed, choose a fixed-GB plan.

Which networks you'll be on in Asunción

Siima eSIMs for Paraguay ride Tigo, Claro or Personal. Tigo has the widest reach and the deepest coverage outside the capital; Claro and Personal both compete hard inside Asunción itself, and all three hold up well across the city.

Coverage around Asunción

Centro and the Costanera

Strong, consistent 4G/5G across the historic center, Palacio de los López and the riverside Costanera promenade.

Recoleta and the residential north

Full coverage through Asunción's more residential districts and the Recoleta cemetery area.

Day trip to Ciudad del Este or Itaipu

Good signal on arrival, but near the Friendship Bridge and the tri-border point a phone can pick up a Brazilian tower instead of a Paraguayan one — worth knowing on a Paraguay-only plan.

Heading into the Chaco

Coverage holds in Chaco towns like Filadelfia but thins out fast on the long highway stretches between them.

How much data you need

A couple of days in Asunción runs 1-2 GB. Add 1-2 GB for a Ciudad del Este/Itaipu day trip, and extra slack if the Chaco is on the itinerary.

Frequently asked questions

Does my eSIM still work on a day trip to Ciudad del Este?
Yes, but near the Friendship Bridge and the tri-border point with Brazil and Argentina, your phone can latch onto a foreign tower instead of a Paraguayan one — mostly a non-issue, but worth knowing if your plan is Paraguay-only rather than regional or worldwide.
Do I need to register a SIM card in Asunción?
A local prepaid SIM from Tigo, Claro or Personal needs a passport shown at the counter, and foreign-passport eligibility isn't consistent across all three. A travel eSIM skips that step entirely.
How do I set up an eSIM before arriving in Asunción?
Install it at home while you still have Wi-Fi: open Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM and scan the QR code on your Siima eSIM page (open it from your account, or from the link in your Siima email). Leave the line switched off until you land — the plan starts counting from first use in Paraguay, not from purchase.
How much data do I need for a trip to Asunción?
A couple of days in Asunción runs 1-2 GB. Add 1-2 GB for a Ciudad del Este/Itaipu day trip, and extra slack if the Chaco is on the itinerary.
Is an eSIM cheaper than roaming in Asunción?
Almost always. Daily roaming passes from most home carriers run $10–15 per day, while Siima plans covering Asunción start from $6.21 for the whole trip. You also avoid per-megabyte charges if you exceed a roaming pass allowance.
