ESIM.DOG 🐶 Colombia

“Unfortunately the internet didnt work after 2 days”

“I bought the 30 days plan esim for Colombia and tried to activate it upon arrival without success. I had to buy another esim from another company which worked right away and for 1 week. After several exchanges, the esim finally was activated. BUT, everytime I needed WIFI to connect to the network and get data. I told them the problem and asked for refund since I never was able to use it. They refused. So you buy an esim to get data but to get data you need wifi to connect to the network.
Worst experience with esim, especially if you need it to move around in cities like Bogota.”

“Scam alert! Do not use Global eSIM.

My girlfriend and I went to Colombia and we chose Global eSIM. Don’t do that, whatever the price. In Bogota, the biggest city in the country, it wasn’t working 95% of the time. We tried to get explanations from them, but they just don’t care. Worst company ever.”

“Cartagena works okay, Medellin works very well, but do not buy for Bogota… Customer service is a big mess!!! 6-7 emails just to get useless nonsense that’s already in the help center, and I have to repeat everything and confirm tons of times… In short, 5 days without service in the largest capital city of Colombia — a real joke!!! Definitely don’t buy!!! Now I’m trying to get a refund… already at 5 emails… A scam!”

“Bought 2x 7GB eSIMs. It worked on Claro but paid for 7GB and they both stopped working at 5 GB.

Support quickly reactivated one but not the other.

eSIMdb coupon did not work. It looked like it applied but when I paid with Visa card it was the full amount.

Also eSIM provider is Plus in Poland so internet is in Polish and you get annoying EU pop ups on Google and every site.

Local Claro SIM is much cheaper, faster, and no hassles.”

“I’m facing a very bad experience with GlobaleSIM in Colombia ! Since I was in Bogota, I had a terrible connection and the data wasn’t working… I’m in Cartagena and the speed is very slow, only 3G connection and just for a couple minutes because the connection breaks every time, and took 5 minutes or more to get back connected

I get in contact with the support, I did what they said but at the end, they said that they can do nothing to improve the connection.”

Colombia Travel eSIM FAQ

Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Colombia

How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Colombia, and how many prepaid data plans are there?

Colombia currently offers 170 travel eSIM providers and 6400 prepaid data plans, providing travelers with a wide variety of options to match their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Colombia?

Unlimited data eSIMs for Colombia are offered by several providers. Roamify, Truely and Yesim all list unlimited plans that can be used for 1 to 30 days. Each of these plans is 5G‑enabled, allows tethering, and may be subject to speed throttling after heavy use. The available price range for these unlimited options runs from about $5.00 to $113.02 USD, giving travelers a broad selection to fit different budgets.

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Colombia?

In Colombia, the primary Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) providing infrastructure for travel eSIMs are:

Claro: A subsidiary of América Móvil, Claro is the largest mobile service provider in Colombia, offering extensive nationwide coverage and a wide range of services.
Movistar: Operated by Telefónica, Movistar is a major player in the Colombian telecommunications market, providing comprehensive mobile services across the country.
Tigo: Part of Millicom International Cellular, Tigo offers mobile services with a significant presence in Colombia, including voice, data, and digital solutions.
WOM: A newer entrant in the Colombian market, WOM provides mobile services and has been expanding its network infrastructure to enhance coverage.

Additionally, Colombia hosts several Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs), such as Virgin Mobile and Móvil Éxito. These MVNOs offer mobile services by leasing access from major carriers. However, most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of the primary MNOs rather than MVNOs.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Colombia?

Travel eSIMs that include an active phone number and SMS service for Colombia are available. Providers such as Airalo, GlobaleSIM, ESIM.DOG, JamboSim, Roamify, and Orange Travel offer plans that provide real telephone numbers for the destination and support both voice and text messaging. Airalo plans use the Colombian dialing code +57, giving a local number that can make and receive calls and SMS, while most other plans use foreign dialing codes (for example +1, +48, or +33), so the number is not local to Colombia. Voice capabilities vary: some plans allow inbound and outbound calls, whereas others only allow outbound calling. SMS service is generally inbound and outbound for Airalo, GlobaleSIM, ESIM.DOG, Roamify, and Orange Travel, but JamboSim plans provide only outbound voice and text. Prices start around $4.50 USD for 1 GB plans and can extend to several hundred dollars for larger data allowances and longer validity periods.
