-
01
Open Settings on your iPhone
Tap the Settings app (gray gear icon) from your home screen or App Library.
-
02
Go to Cellular (or Mobile Data)
Scroll to Cellular. On some regions iOS labels this Mobile Data instead.
-
03
Tap Add eSIM
Choose Add eSIM (older iOS calls this Add Cellular Plan).
-
04
Choose Use QR Code
Tap Use QR Code, then open the eSIM email from travel.to on another device and scan the QR.
-
05
Label the line travel.to
When iOS asks for a label, pick travel.to so you can tell it apart from your home SIM.
-
06
Confirm and finish
Confirm the default line settings. Your phone will activate the eSIM on landing — you don't need to do anything else until you reach your destination.
Once installed, the eSIM is dormant until iPhone XS / XR reaches a partner carrier's network in Peru — typically the moment you land. No manual switch, no carrier app.

iPhone XS / XR in Peru
Common questions.
Yes. iPhone XS / XR ships with eSIM hardware, and travel.to routes it onto Claro, Movistar, and Entel in Peru. The line activates the moment you land — install takes under two minutes and is fully refundable if it fails to activate.
Yes. iPhone XS / XR supports dual SIM worldwide, so your home SIM stays in the tray and travel.to installs alongside it as a second line. No swapping, no removing your primary number.
On iPhone XS / XR open Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM, choose Use QR Code, and scan the QR from your travel.to email. That is 6 taps from QR to online. iOS labels the path "Mobile Data" in some regions.
Under two minutes. The QR arrives by email seconds after payment; 6 taps later the profile is installed on iPhone XS / XR. It stays dormant until you reach a partner network in Peru (UTC−5 year-round) — usually the instant you land, before you have changed your clock.
In Peru we route on Claro, Movistar, and Entel. iPhone XS / XR hands off automatically to whichever has the strongest signal where you are — you do not pick the carrier, the phone does.
30 – 90 Mbps urban · 60 ms RTT. iPhone XS / XR negotiates the fastest band the local network offers, so in covered areas you get the same speeds a native SIM would pull on the same carrier.
Default home-carrier roaming in Peru runs about $18 – 35 per GB. A travel.to plan for Peru sits an order of magnitude below that, and you never get a surprise bill — you pay once, up front, for the data you chose.
No need. The airport SIM kiosks in Peru keep limited hours (Lima LIM · 24h SIM counters) and you would queue at them with the rest of your flight. Install the travel.to eSIM on iPhone XS / XR before you board and you walk straight past them, already online.
Three carriers per region · auto-failover below signal threshold iPhone XS / XR falls back automatically — you never have to switch networks by hand.
Yes. Top-ups reuse the Peru eSIM profile already on iPhone XS / XR — no new QR scan, no second install. Same line, fresh data, added from your Peru order page in one tap.
Full refund if the Peru eSIM fails to activate on iPhone XS / XR. Half refund if it activates but underperforms on Claro, Movistar, and Entel (and if you used under 500 MB, you get the full amount). One click from your dashboard — no email thread.
A few iPhone XS / XR-specific notes: iOS 12.1 was the first version with eSIM support — make sure you're on a recent iOS. Beyond that, the travel.to install flow in Peru is the standard iOS path.
