Buy eSIM data plans for Dominican Republic

A Dominican Republic 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.

Landing at Santo Domingo's Las Américas International Airport with a resort transfer waiting and no signal? A Dominican Republic eSIM is a prepaid, data-only plan that connects your phone to the local Claro (4G) network the moment you reach the terminal. Skip the roaming charges and the SIM kiosks, step out already online, and open maps to find your driver, message the hotel that you've arrived, and pull up your booking. Whether you're heading to the beaches or the old town, your data switches on before your luggage reaches the carousel, so you stay connected from the first minute.

Frequently asked questions

Which mobile network does the Dominican Republic eSIM use?

Your Dominican Republic eSIM connects to Claro on its 4G network, the main carrier covering the country. You get local data on arrival without swapping your physical SIM, with reliable service in city centres and along the developed coast.

Will coverage be good around Punta Cana and the beaches?

Yes. Coverage is strong around the resort areas and the developed coast, so you can stream, video-call and navigate from the beach. As an honest expectation: it's reliable in built-up and tourist zones, while remote stretches may be more variable.

What happens to my signal on boat trips and in remote bays?

Out on the water and in remote bays, signal can drop or disappear entirely, which is normal far from the coast. Download your maps, tickets and any details you need before you set off, and you'll be reconnected once you're back near shore.

Will one Dominican Republic plan cover a multi-country trip?

This is a Dominican Republic-only plan and works just within the country. If your trip covers several Caribbean destinations, choose a regional eSIM instead so a single plan follows you across the islands without buying a new one each stop.

When should I set up the eSIM before arriving in the Dominican Republic?

Install it before you fly, while you still have Wi-Fi at home, and just leave activation for arrival. That way it switches on automatically as you reach the terminal at Santo Domingo's Las Américas International Airport, with no setup needed at the gate.

Can I keep my own number and use a hotspot in the Dominican Republic?

Yes. The eSIM runs alongside your normal SIM and carries only data, so your home number stays active for calls and texts while the eSIM handles maps, messaging and browsing. You can also share that data over a hotspot to a laptop or a travel companion's phone.
