Colombia travel data eSIM
What is a Colombia eSIM?
A Colombia eSIM gives you mobile data for your trip through South America. Install it on your unlocked phone before departure. It activates only when you first connect to a local network in the country. This setup suits visitors exploring Bogotá, Medellín, or Cartagena. You avoid roaming charges and have immediate access to maps, translation tools, and ride-hailing apps. The data plan runs on Claro 4G networks, ensuring you stay connected while navigating the diverse landscapes and urban centers of this 32-department nation.
Your data connects to Claro 4G networks in Colombia. The plan begins counting down from the moment your device first registers on a local tower after arrival. Choose a duration that matches your itinerary, from a short week in the capital to a month-long cultural tour. The eSIM remains active until the data limit is reached or the validity period expires, whichever comes first.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operator does the Colombia eSIM use?
The plan connects to Claro 4G networks. This means your device registers on Claro’s infrastructure throughout Colombia. Connection performance depends on local network conditions at your specific location, whether in a major city or a rural department.
Does this eSIM work in neighbouring countries?
No, this is a single-country plan valid only in Colombia. If you are travelling to neighbouring regions like Venezuela or Panama, you need a separate regional plan or a local eSIM for those specific destinations.
Which plan size suits a trip to Bogotá and Cartagena?
As a rough guide, a 5GB or 10GB plan often suits a two-city trip. This allows for maps, messaging, and moderate browsing. Heavier video streaming might require the 20GB option, depending on your personal data usage habits.
Will I lose my own phone number?
No. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls and WhatsApp. The eSIM only carries data, so both work side by side.
When does my plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy it. So you can install it days before you fly without losing any time.
Is my phone compatible?
Most phones from 2018 onwards are: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, you have eSIM. Full list on our Device Compatibility page.
How fast will I get my QR code?
Usually within a couple of minutes of payment, by email. If it has not arrived, check spam first, then write to us and we will resend it immediately.
Can I use hotspot or tethering?
Yes, on every plan we sell. Share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or the rest of your group.
What if I change my mind?
If you have not installed the eSIM, you get a full refund within 180 days. Once a profile is activated and data has been used it cannot be refunded — the allowance is consumed from the network. Full detail in our Refund Policy.
Do you sell plans for groups?
Yes. For Umrah and Hajj groups, student trips and tour operators we deliver the QR codes as a single batch before departure, at group rates. Email us with your group size and destination.
