How can I call and access the internet in Bolivia?
In Bolivia, use the +591 dialing code to call. Buy a local SIM card for your phone or use calling centers (centros de llamadas). Internet is available everywhere but often slow.
Options for calling
- Local SIM card : the most convenient solution for using your mobile phone with Bolivian operators
- Call centers (centros de llamadas) : telephone booths still present in cities
- International dialing code : +591 to reach Bolivia from abroad
Internet connection
Internet is accessible in most urban and tourist areas of Bolivia. The connection generally remains slow compared to European standards. Hotels, restaurants and internet cafés often offer free WiFi.
Local agency advice
Disable roaming from your home operator before departure to avoid high charges. Prepaid SIM cards can be easily purchased at Entel, Tigo or Viva stores by presenting your passport.
