If you are travelling to Colombia, whether for a short holiday, to visit family, or to work remotely, a reliable data connection is essential. This eSIM gives you mobile data in Bogotá, Medellín, Cartagena and across the country. It is data only, so there is no local phone number. You can use WhatsApp for calls and messages over data, which is perfect for staying in touch.
Your data needs depend on how you use your phone. Maps, messaging and occasional browsing are light. Social media, email and some video use more. Frequent video calls, streaming and sharing a hotspot with other devices use the most. Choose a plan that matches how you use your phone, and top up the same eSIM if you run low.
You can install your eSIM before you travel. The QR code arrives by email in under 60 seconds after purchase. Validity starts when the eSIM first connects at your destination, so you can buy and install it at home without wasting any days. For step by step instructions, see our installation guide. Before you buy, check your phone is eSIM compatible.
This eSIM is data only. It does not provide a phone number, calls, or SMS. Therefore, you must keep your home SIM in your phone for calls and bank OTPs. Your home SIM will handle any calls, texts, and verification codes you need, while the eSIM provides data. For more details, see calls, texts and OTPs on a data eSIM.
If you decide to stay longer, you can top up the same eSIM without needing a new QR code. This makes it easy to extend your data without reinstalling. Hotspot and tethering are allowed, so you can share your connection with other devices. If you need to top up a family member's phone in Colombia, we also offer Claro top-ups for family in Colombia.
Our WhatsApp support is available before, during, and after your trip. If you have any issues, just message us. Unused eSIMs are covered for 14 days: swap for another eSIM or take Slashtel credit, with a card refund if your phone turns out to be incompatible or the fault is ours. See the refund policy.
