What is the best eSIM for Colombia?
+
For travellers who want Colombian data on the phone they already own, eSIMbundle is a strong option. Buy a Colombia bundle before departure, land at Bogotá, Medellín or Cartagena, and use Google Maps, Uber, Cabify, Rappi and WhatsApp straight away. A VPN is included with every plan.
Which mobile network does eSIMbundle use in Colombia?
+
Your eSIMbundle eSIM connects automatically to an available Colombian partner network when you land, so you never choose a carrier at the airport. Colombia is served by a small number of national operators; the specific one your phone ends up on can shift by city and altitude.
Does eSIMbundle have good coverage across Colombia?
+
Coverage is generally comfortable across Bogotá, Medellín, Cartagena, Cali, Barranquilla and Santa Marta. Signal can weaken on Andean mountain passes, in the Sierra Nevada, near Leticia in the Amazon and along long rural highways between departmental capitals.
Is 5G available with a Colombia eSIM, and how fast is it?
+
4G is broadly available across urban Colombia, and 5G has been rolling out across parts of Bogotá, Medellín and other major cities. Whether your phone lands on 4G or 5G in a specific spot depends on your device, the available partner network and live local conditions.
How much data do I need for 7, 15 or 30 days in Colombia?
+
Light users on Maps and messaging often get by on 1–3 GB a week. Typical travellers using rideshares, Rappi, streaming and hotel bookings usually want 5–10 GB a week. Heavy video or hotspot users can push past 20 GB a week. Use the Travel Data Calculator to size a Colombia plan for your trip.
Does a Colombia eSIM include a Colombian phone number, calls or SMS?
+
eSIMbundle Colombia plans are data plans. Use mobile data for WhatsApp, FaceTime and other internet-based calling and messaging. Keep your normal SIM active for calls, SMS and verification texts, subject to your home carrier's own roaming charges and support.
Can I keep my normal SIM, phone number and WhatsApp?
+
Yes. On a compatible dual-SIM phone, keep your normal SIM installed and use your eSIMbundle eSIM for mobile data. Your usual phone number stays with your home SIM, and WhatsApp keeps using the number already registered to your account.
Can I add more data while I am in Colombia?
+
Yes. Sign in to your eSIMbundle account and add another Colombia bundle whenever you need more. The new bundle activates on the same eSIM already installed on your phone — no fresh QR code, no reinstall.
Should I buy my Colombia eSIM before travelling?
+
Yes. Buy the bundle and install the eSIMbundle eSIM before departure while you have a stable connection. Then land at Bogotá, Medellín or Cartagena, turn off airplane mode and you are online — no carrier stand detour and no roaming surprises.
Does eSIMbundle include a VPN in Colombia?
+
Yes. A VPN is included with every eSIMbundle plan at no extra cost. Switch it on in the app for a more private connection on Colombian mobile data and on airport, hotel and café Wi-Fi.
Which apps should I have ready for Colombia?
+
Install Uber, Cabify or DiDi for rides, Rappi for food and grocery delivery, Google Maps and Waze for driving, and Google Translate for restaurant menus. All work over your eSIMbundle data as soon as you land.
How is coverage in coffee country, the Amazon and remote Andean passes?
+
In Salento, Filandia and other Coffee Triangle towns coverage is generally comfortable. Deep Andean passes, Sierra Nevada trails and Amazonian departments around Leticia can thin signal out for anyone on any Colombian network — download offline maps for those side trips.
Can I use the same eSIM on my next trip elsewhere?
+
Yes. Your eSIMbundle eSIM stays installed on your phone. Next trip, add a bundle for the next supported destination in your account and it activates on the same eSIM — no new installation required.
