What Tigo Guatemala does

Tigo Guatemala is the Guatemalan operating subsidiary of Millicom International Cellular S.A. (NASDAQ Stockholm: Tigo), providing mobile telecommunications, fixed internet, digital television, mobile financial services, and B2B cloud and cybersecurity solutions. The company serves individual consumers (prepaid Paquetigos, postpaid contracts from Q160 to Q1,015 monthly), residential customers (internet plus TV bundles from Q259 to Q809 monthly offering 100-700 Mbps and 150-239 channels), entrepreneurs and medium enterprises (Tigo Business), and large corporations. Its product portfolio also includes Tigo Money for domestic transfers and international remittances, Tigo Sports with exclusive FIFA World Cup 2026 rights, and bundled streaming partnerships with Disney+, HBO Max, Paramount+, ViX Premium, Universal+, and Deezer.

The company's underlying technology combines a 4G/LTE mobile network claimed to be the largest in Guatemala, fiber and traditional broadband for residential connectivity, IPTV and satellite TV delivery, and a mobile money platform. Distribution spans company-owned retail stores and authorized agents across all 22 Guatemalan departments, online self-service portals (tgo.gt, Mi Tigo App), WhatsApp commerce, call centers, and a dedicated enterprise sales force. The Mi Tigo App unifies account management across mobile, residential, fintech, and content services.

Tigo Guatemala generates revenue primarily through subscription-based recurring mobile postpaid and residential internet/TV plans, usage-based prepaid airtime and data packages, transaction fees on Tigo Money financial services, and enterprise contracts for cloud, connectivity, and cybersecurity. The business model emphasizes bundling to drive ARPU expansion, with content partnerships, smart home services, and cybersecurity add-ons layered onto core connectivity subscriptions. In December 2025, the unit paid $118 million to settle a foreign bribery investigation, a material event affecting its regulatory and reputational standing.
