Hi. The US is the only country in the world where you can re-use old chips / SIM cards that are discontinued for a while. You are even allowed to assign a new number to it. In all other countries you can forget your chip/SIM card as soon as it's expired as the chip is internally connected to your number. But your number was released after your plan was terminated and someone else may use it now.

Having it not used for 10 years, you will need to get a new chip in Guatemala with a new number and registration. Just take your US passport with you to the store. New SIM cards come at Q30-50 and some credits included.
