Mobile internet, 4G and 5G in Guatemala
Guatemala's market is split between two operators: Tigo (Millicom), with 56.9% of mobile lines (11.72 million) at the end of 2023, and Claro (América Móvil), with 43.1% (8.89 million lines).
According to a GSMA report quoted by trade press in August 2026, Guatemala has 95% mobile population coverage and 95% mobile internet coverage. 5G reaches around 40% of the population, with more than four million active users of that technology. The same GSMA report names Guatemala as the first country in Central America to launch commercial 5G, in 2022.
Roaming in Guatemala without an eSIM
Guatemala is outside the EU and the EEA, so 'Roam Like at Home' does not apply. That arrangement covers the EU member states plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, along with Moldova and Ukraine, and Guatemala is not among them. Your Belgian or Dutch bundle therefore does not cross the border with you: your operator bills every megabyte at its own out-of-bundle roaming tariff, with none of the EU price caps that apply inside the zone. Ask what that tariff costs before you fly — the European Commission gives travellers the same advice.
What GSMA's coverage report says about Guatemala
GSMA's report on Guatemala, quoted by trade press on 27 August 2026, gives unusually specific coverage figures: 95% mobile population coverage and 95% mobile internet coverage. The same report names Guatemala as the first country in Central America to launch commercial 5G, in 2022, although 5G itself still reaches only around 40% of the population so far, equivalent to more than four million active users.
