Select one of our cell phone rentals for your next trip to Peru. Please note that in order to call or text you must use an app. To call the USA or Canada we recommend Talkatone as it is easy to use, free and you can call to landlines. WhatsApp of course is a great app but the limitation is that both users need to have it on their phone. Also, please note that in order to download most apps, you must rent an iPhone 8 or above.
Your phone comes ready to go and fully charged and operational for your trip and includes a charger and power cord, a plug adapter and, for USA based customers, a return shipping package.
Simply select the phone you want to rent, enter the actual departure date (Cellular Abroad will deliver the phone prior to this date) and the actual return date. You can opt for insurance during the checkout process.
