Coverage and networks

Your eSIM connects to a partner network in Colombia. The networks for each plan are confirmed at checkout.

Colombia’s highlights are spread out – Bogotá, Medellín, the Coffee Region and the Caribbean coast – and most travellers link them by short flights and long bus rides. Ride-hailing apps and WhatsApp are how you arrange transport and tours, and data helps you check routes after dark.

Coverage is good in the big cities and along the Caribbean coast. In Tayrona National Park, on the trek to the Lost City and in rural parts of the Coffee Region the signal fades or disappears.

Partner networks: Claro
Technology: 5G, 4G LTE
Coverage: Cities, the Caribbean coast and main routes
Access point (APN): Set automatically
Calls and SMS: Not included. Use internet calling apps.

Check your phone first

Your phone must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. If it was bought from a mobile network on contract, ask them to unlock it before you travel.

Dial *#06#. If you see an EID number, your phone supports eSIM.
Most iPhones from XR and XS onwards, Google Pixel 3 onwards and Samsung Galaxy S20 onwards support eSIM.

Colombia eSIM questions

Will it work in Tayrona and on the Lost City trek?

Near the park entrances you may have signal; on the beaches deeper in Tayrona and on the Lost City trek it is mostly absent. Let your guesthouse know your plans before you go.

Is it useful in Medellín and Bogotá?

Very. Maps, ride-hailing and messages to hosts and tour companies all run on data, and moving around with a working phone is simpler than relying on café Wi-Fi.

Does it work in Panama or Ecuador?

A Colombia plan works only in Colombia. For a trip that continues to Panama or Ecuador, a Latin America regional plan lists both before you pay.

Can I buy the plan now and travel next month?

Yes. The plan starts when the eSIM first connects in Colombia. Install it within 180 days of buying.
