Which mobile networks does Paraguay have?

DataReportal counted 9.18 million mobile connections in January 2025, equal to 132% of the population, with 92.7% of connections 3G, 4G or 5G capable. Median mobile download speed was 19.23 Mbps in early 2025.

• Tigo: Tigo, fully owned by Millicom, is the market leader with about 4.4 million subscribers as of December 2025 and is widely rated as having the strongest and most extensive 4G network in the country.
• Personal: Personal, backed by Telecom Argentina, is the clear number two network and picked up 3.7 GHz 5G spectrum in Paraguay's second auction in August 2026.
• Claro: Claro, owned by America Movil, is the smaller third national operator but beat everyone to 5G, switching on Paraguay's first commercial 5G network in December 2025 with a 35 million dollar investment.
• Vox: Vox is the small fourth operator run by state telecom COPACO, with a subscriber base well under half a million in its last published figures.

Paraguay has no meaningful MVNO scene, so travel eSIMs connect through Tigo, Claro or Personal.
