TELEPHONY IN PERU
All the telephony services in Peru fulfill the international standards. At the moment there are two telephony enterprises, "Telefónica del Perú" and "Claro".
If your trip is for business, or it requires permanent phone communication, you can rent a mobile telephone. The cellular telephony only pays for the calls made, not for those received. When renting a mobile telephone, we recommend you to request the activation of national and international long distance calls option according to your requirements.
The cellular telephony has the "national automatic roaming" to maintain the same phone number from any city of Peru.
