Your Peru SIM card will provide you with a Peru cellular phone number, which can be found on the back of your SIM card package.

*You will need to snap out the thumbnail sized Peru SIM card along the perforated edge of its holder and then insert the Peru SIM card into your international cell phone with the gold contacts of the SIM card facing the metal contacts of your international cellular phone.
^Your phone will prompt you for a 4 digit PIN code (PIN), which is printed on the card where your SIM card is detached from. The PUK is only required to unblock your cell phone if you enter the PIN code incorrectly 3 times. Follow your international cellular phone manual instructions to correctly use the PUK to unblock your phone.
**When calling overseas from the United States to your Peru cell phone, callers will need to dial 011 followed by country code 51 and your Peru cell phone number, omitting the first 0 (zero). To call abroad from your Peru cell phone simply dial + followed by the country code and phone number. For example, to call Telestial you would dial +18582742686
Customer service for your prepaid Peru SIM card can be contacted on 123 (charges may apply).
For emergencies while using your local Peru SIM card in Peru please dial 105 for the central emergency number from your cell phone. |

Keeping in touch while in Peru can be very a frustrating and expensive experience without an international cell phone and Peru SIM card.
Sometimes a payphone takes coins (But how many is anybody's guess!!!), other times a proprietary calling card and still others only a credit card will do with accompanying instructions that would take a week to understand.
Peru cellular phone rentals can significantly cut down on the frustration of calling home while abroad but the airtime rates would bankrupt all but the thickest of wallets. Airtime rates for a Peru cell phone rental can typically start at $1.50 and may be as high as $2+/minute.
Think you got a deal on your world phone and plan on doing some international roaming? With international roaming charges the airtime rate you will pay is out of this world.
The Peru prepaid SIM chip is a quick and easy way to convert your existing world phone into a prepaid Peru cell phone for Peru and as discussed is more economical then a Peru cell phone rental. For your next assignment or vacation in Peru, this SIM chip (combined with an unlocked GSM World cell phone) helps you stay connected while avoiding those international roaming surcharges that always accompany your 'home' SIM card while abroad. We offer a growing selection of prepaid SIM Cards for other international destinations as well as a wide variety of GSM cell phone accessories and GSM international cell phones.
