Drivers and couriers can call you
Drivers and couriers can call you — incoming calls are unlimited on every plan.
Uber is one of the most used apps in Peru, alongside WhatsApp and Facebook. A local +51 number makes rides and deliveries with a local number drivers can reach look native rather than foreign.
Peruvians abroad: Communities in Santiago, Buenos Aires, Madrid and Miami keep a Peruvian number for family and banking at home.
Uber logs you in by SMS and drivers contact you on the number during every trip.
In Peru, paying someone often means scanning a QR code in Yape or Plin, and both apps depend on a Peruvian mobile number. Lima’s food scene and the road to Cusco and Machu Picchu bring in millions of visitors, who arrange much of their trip by WhatsApp. A +51 number also serves the large Peruvian communities in Chile, Argentina, Spain and the US.
Local context
Peruvian carriers register each line to an identity document, so visitors need a passport to activate a prepaid SIM. A Peru number from PhoneBorn needs no SIM and no ID — only an email.
