The nitty gritty
Paraguay eSIM FAQs
No, the Paraguay travel eSIM is data-only. It won’t give you a cellular voice line. If you want to call, just fire up WhatsApp, Telegram, or FaceTime using your data allowance.
Absolutely! You can install your Paraguay travel eSIM up to 30 days before departure. Installing early means it will automatically activate once you land.
Rest assured, installing before you leave won’t start your data or count down your plan days until you arrive in Paraguay.
If you see an activation error on iPhone when installing before arriving, you can ignore it-learn more in our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide.
No, our Paraguay travel eSIMs do not include any phone number - they strictly provide internet data. For calls, use data - driven apps such as WhatsApp, Messenger, or Facetime.
Your eSIM will activate automatically when you arrive in Paraguay. Though we recommend installing your Paraguay Travel eSIM before you arrive (this is different to activating).
To do this, scan the QR code we provide or install the eSIM directly from the ZenSim app while connected to WiFi. Once you arrive in Paraguay, your eSIM will activate automatically.
If you encounter any issues check out our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or contact us directly ☺️
The eSIM activates when you touch down in Paraguay - if you’ve already installed it, it should connect automatically.
Installing while already in Paraguay works too; it will start as soon as you complete setup.
If you experience connection issues, check our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or reach out to our support team.
Hands down, a travel eSIM beats roaming in Paraguay. Here’s why:
Cheaper Data: Pay local prices rather than roaming surcharges from your home network.
Instant Setup: No waiting for physical SIM delivery - your eSIM is ready the minute you land.
Full Expense Control: Track data usage and spending in - app, so you avoid surprise fees.
No, your plan only starts upon landing in Paraguay. Installing beforehand ensures you’re ready to go as the activation will happen automatically.
You’ll need WiFi for installation, so do it before departure and this way you will be connected as soon as you arrive.
If you run into any issues, our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide can help, or contact us directly.
Definitely! ZenSim supports eSIM usage in over 200 countries, so Paraguay is covered. If you need multi-country coverage, take a look at our regional eSIM options on the Travel eSIMs page.

Yes, you can. Around 99 percent of our eSIMs allow quick and easy top ups through the ZenSim app. You can add more data, increase the days, or even include a different destination on the same eSIM right from the Zen Garden.
Open the app, go to the Zen Garden area, and you’ll see the top up button waiting for you.
Top up pricing: Paraguay top up plans follow the same pricing as on the website, minus a 10% discount.
Travelling for a while: If your trip lasts more than 30 days, you can queue multiple top ups. None of them will interrupt your current plan because each one only activates when the previous eSIM expires.
Travelling to more destinations: Most eSIMs let you attach extra countries via a top up. For example, if you're heading home from Europe and stopping in Singapore, you can add Singapore to your Europe eSIM and it will switch on once you arrive.
Your Paraguay eSIM is designed for use within Paraguay, so once it's been activated there, it won’t work in other countries.
If you're visiting multiple destinations, a better option might be one of our regional Travel eSIMs that cover entire regions like Europe or Asia.
Absolutely you can. After purchasing your Paraguay eSIM, share your unique referral URL with whoever you like and if they purchase you both save A$5 on your next purchases.
After purchase you can access your URL on the checkout confirmation screen or in the ZenSim app. For each new customer you refer to us you will be given a A$5 voucher to use on your next purchase.
Track your referral activity and access your unique referral link inside the ZenSim app. View the terms to learn more.
Our Paraguay unlimited plans include a 3GB daily allowance, which is more than enough for most people - average daily usage tends to sit under 1GB.
If you happen to use more than that in a day, your speed gets limited to 1Mbps until midnight, at which point your full-speed allowance kicks back in.
This only applies to unlimited plans - if you've chosen a fixed-data plan like 10GB or 20GB, there's no daily throttling at all, just use it freely until it runs out. We'll let you know before that happens, and you can top up in seconds via the ZenSim app.
Not at all - installing early doesn't use up any of your days or data, and it doesn't set a start date either. Everything stays dormant until you actually land in Paraguay.
Once you arrive, and provided you've already installed it, your eSIM activates automatically and your plan's official start date is that moment of arrival.
The end date follows on from there - it'll expire once your data or days run out, whichever happens first (or just the days if you've gone unlimited). A 30-day plan gives you a full 30 days from the moment you land in Paraguay, no matter how far in advance you bought or installed it.
Quickest way to check is through our eSIM compatibility checker - it'll let you know in seconds if your phone plays nicely with our Paraguay eSIM and the networks it runs on.
If anything's unclear or you'd rather double check with a human, reach out to us anytime. And if your phone ends up not being compatible, you're covered by our refund policy - full refund, no hassle - so it's worth just giving it a go.
We've got a 100% money back guarantee for exactly this kind of situation.
That covers trip cancellations, phones that turn out not to be eSIM-compatible, or just a change of plans that means you no longer need it.
Our full refund policy spells it all out, but the short version is: unable to install or use the eSIM means a full refund, every time.

Top 3 things to do in Paraguay
Explore the Ruins of La Santísima Trinidad de Paraná
Paraguay is home to some of the most well-preserved Jesuit ruins in South America, and the La Santísima Trinidad de Paraná is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that stands as a reminder of the Jesuit missions of the 17th century. The intricate stone carvings, grand altars, and impressive red sandstone structures make this an incredible place to explore. Visit in the late afternoon to experience the golden glow of the ruins as the sun sets over this historic site.
Cruise Along the Paraguay River
The Paraguay River flows through the heart of the country, offering travellers an opportunity to explore remote wildlife, lush rainforests, and peaceful fishing villages. Boat cruises allow visitors to see exotic birds, capybaras, and caimans while drifting through the Pantanal wetlands, one of the most biodiverse regions in South America. Whether you’re interested in eco-tourism, fishing, or simply relaxing on the water, a river cruise is a great way to experience Paraguay’s natural beauty.
Visit the Lively Markets of Asunción
Asunción, the capital of Paraguay, is a vibrant city filled with history, culture, and energy. A visit to Mercado 4, the city’s most famous market, is a must for those looking to experience local flavours, traditional crafts, and authentic Paraguayan street food. Try local delicacies such as sopa paraguaya (a cornbread dish) and chipa (cheesy bread rolls). The city's mix of colonial architecture, modern street art, and bustling local life makes it a fascinating place to explore.
