“App seemed a little choppy to me and install was not as streamlined as some other ESIM apps. But, once installed the data worked fairly well and I didn’t have any speed issues.”

Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Dominican Republic

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Dominican Republic?

Yes, there are unlimited data eSIM options for the Dominican Republic. Three providers offer plans with no data cap: Roamify, Truely, and Yesim. All of these unlimited plans allow tethering but note that speeds may be throttled after a certain amount of usage or over time. The price of the available unlimited plans ranges from as low as $5.00 for a short one‑day plan to about $195.00 for a 30‑day option, with typical mid‑range prices falling between roughly $10 and $160. Travelers can choose a plan that fits their desired validity period and budget, keeping in mind that throttling may affect high‑bandwidth activities such as video streaming or large downloads.

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

In the Dominican Republic, the primary Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) are:

Claro Dominicana: The largest provider by subscriber count, offering extensive nationwide coverage and fast network speeds.
Altice Dominicana: A significant operator investing heavily in infrastructure, providing bundled internet and TV deals, with reliable coverage in major urban centers.
Viva Dominicana: A smaller operator focusing on affordable options, with coverage primarily in populated regions and some gaps in rural areas.

These MNOs own and operate the network infrastructure that most travel eSIMs utilize. While there are Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) in the Dominican Republic, they lease access from these 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 Dominican Republic?

Travel eSIM plans with a phone number and SMS service are available for the Dominican Republic. Providers such as GlobaleSIM, ESIM.DOG, JamboSim, Roamify, Esimtofly, and LinkeSIM offer phone‑number based plans that include SMS capability, with starting prices as low as about $4 USD for a 7‑day data‑only package that also allows inbound voice calls and SMS.

Most of these plans use the Dominican Republic’s national dialing code +1, so the number is local and can be used for domestic calls and texting. Plans that use other dialing codes (+33, +376, etc.) provide foreign‑country numbers; they still support inbound and outbound SMS but are not local to the Dominican Republic. Voice service is offered in 4G or 5G networks depending on the specific plan.
