Buy eSIM data plans for Colombia
A Colombia eSIM is a prepaid mobile-data plan for your trip. Install it on a compatible, carrier-unlocked phone before departure, then select it as your data line within the plan's coverage area.
A Colombia eSIM is a data-only plan that loads onto your phone before you fly, then switches on by itself the moment you reach the terminal at Bogotá's El Dorado International Airport. It runs on Colombia's own mobile networks, Claro on 4G and Tigo on 5G, so there are no roaming fees and no kiosk queues. You step off the plane already online, ready to pull up maps, message family that you have landed, call a ride into the city, and check directions in Bogotá's altitude-cooled air before your bags even reach the carousel.

How eSIM works in Colombia
Choose a data plan for Colombia, install the eSIM over reliable Wi-Fi before your trip, and follow the selected plan’s activation instructions. Your regular SIM can stay in your phone, while the eSIM gives you mobile data for travel apps, messaging, maps and browsing.
Install your eSIM
Scan the QR or auto-install in the app — no physical SIM.
Land & connect
Data activates on first connection at your destination.
Size it to your trip
Pick the profile closest to your trip. The estimate assumes normal use — maps, messaging, photos, a short call home.
As a rule of thumb, a 3–4 day city break runs on about 1–3 GB, a one-week trip on 3–5 GB, a two-week multi-country tour on 8–12 GB, and working on the road takes about 1 GB a day, so 15 GB or more for two weeks.

In total, a 5 GB data allowance covers roughly 1,700 shared photos, 83 hours of social media and browsing, 15 hours of video calls, 63 hours of music streaming, or about 1000 hours of maps and navigation. Messaging apps barely use data.
Important cities in Colombia
Bogotá · City guide
Bogotá
A Bogotá eSIM keeps you oriented while you wander the colonial lanes of the La Candelaria old town, where streets twist and signs are few. Use mobile data to time the ride up the Monserrate hill for clear afternoon light, and to read up on the exhibits inside the Gold Museum before you go in. With a plan running quietly in the background, you can message family and share photos without searching for a café password.
Bogotá eSIM — set up before you fly →Cartagena · City guide
Cartagena
Inside the walled colonial old town, a Cartagena eSIM helps you trace the ramparts, find your way back through near-identical colourful streets, and look up which courtyard restaurant is open tonight. Step out to the Caribbean seafront and you can still check the forecast or share a sunset clip in real time. Town coverage here is generally strong, so a data plan for Cartagena keeps maps and messaging close while you explore on foot.
Cartagena eSIM — set up before you fly →Medellín · City guide
Medellín
Medellín's spring-like climate makes it a city you explore slowly, and a Medellín eSIM keeps you connected as you ride the metrocable up the slopes for the view. Use mobile data to navigate the revived neighbourhoods, where street art and cafés sit side by side, and to look up the next cable-car line as you go. Staying online here means you can plan your route, message friends, and never lose your place on the map mid-climb.
Medellín eSIM — set up before you fly →Cali · City guide
Cali
Cali sits in a warm valley setting where evenings belong to its salsa-dancing scene, and a data plan for Cali helps you find which venue is busy and how to get there. Use mobile data to follow the riverside on foot, share a clip from the dance floor, or message your group to regroup later. With a Cali eSIM working from arrival, you stay reachable through long, lively nights without hunting for a signal between stops.

Frequently asked questions
Which mobile networks does the Colombia eSIM use?
It connects to Colombia's own mobile networks: Claro on 4G and Tigo on 5G. Your phone picks the best available signal automatically, so you get fast data in the cities and dependable coverage as you move around.
How is coverage on the Caribbean coast versus the mountains?
Around the coastal towns near Cartagena, town-centre coverage is generally strong. As you head into the coffee region and the mountains, signal can vary in more remote spots, so it helps to download your maps and key details while you still have a solid connection.
I'm also visiting other countries in South America. Will this plan cover them?
No. This is a Colombia-only plan and it works inside Colombia. If your trip spans several countries, choose a regional South America eSIM instead so you stay connected across borders without swapping plans.
When should I set up the eSIM before arriving in Colombia?
Yes. Install it over your home Wi-Fi before you fly, then leave it ready to activate. That way it switches on by itself when you reach the terminal at Bogotá's El Dorado International Airport, and you are online before you even look for the exit.
Will my phone work with a Colombia eSIM?
Most recent phones support eSIM and work fine here, as long as the device is unlocked to accept other networks. It is worth checking your phone's settings for an eSIM or digital SIM option before you travel, so activation is quick once you arrive.
Can I keep my own number and use a hotspot in Colombia?
Yes. The eSIM runs alongside your usual SIM, so you keep your own number for calls and texts and use the eSIM purely for data. You can also share that data as a hotspot to a laptop or a travel companion's phone whenever you have a steady signal.
