Cellular phones are inexpensive in Guatemala and can be purchased by anyone with a passport.  I know of no companies in Xela that rent cell phones by the week or month.  There are 3 main companies in Guatemala sell Cellular services.  All 3 offer prepaid phone cards with their cellular service.

Bell South - Least expensive for national calls Q.20 to Q.50/min and least expensive for calls to the USA Q1.00/minute.  Cost of the phone is Q400 and normally includes 200 minutes.

PCS Digital by Telgua - This company has the best coverage but they are also the most expensive.  Phones can be purchased for Q500 and calls are Q1.00/min within Guatemala and Q4.00/min to the USA.

Comcel - Not the most expensive, not the least expensive with ok coverage.
