Colombia has become a favorite with travelers and remote workers, especially Medellin, and a connection is how you get around safely and stay productive. Ride apps, maps, and WhatsApp all run on data, and a larger plan suits a longer stay working from a cafe in El Poblado.
What you can use the data for
Ride-hailing. DiDi, Cabify, and Uber operate in the Colombian cities and run on data. With the route and driver tracked in the app, they are the recommended way around.
Maps. Google Maps covers Bogota, Medellin, Cartagena, and the coffee region roads. It needs a connection throughout.
WhatsApp. WhatsApp is the default for hostels, tour operators, and Spanish-school friends, so staying reachable means staying on data.
Remote work. If you are staying to work, the data keeps you online between cafe sessions, and you can size up to a bigger plan on our site.
Where it works
Coverage roams on Colombia's national networks, strong across the main cities:
- Bogota (BOG) and the highlands
- Medellin (MDE), the City of Eternal Spring
- Cartagena (CTG) on the Caribbean coast
- Cali (CLO) and the south
- The coffee region around Pereira and Armenia
City coverage is strong. It thins out in the coffee region's back roads, the Amazon, the Pacific coast, and the mountains. Download offline maps before heading into the countryside or to the remote beaches.
Common situations
Medellin remote-work stay
Activate at the airport, book a DiDi to El Poblado, and a larger data plan keeps you online between cafe sessions. If you run low, you can buy another plan on our site without a shop visit.
Cartagena on the coast
Keep maps and tour bookings live across the old town and the nearby islands. Coverage holds in the city and the resort zone.
Bogota and the coffee region
Use the data in the capital, and download offline maps for the coffee-farm back roads, where signal comes and goes.
How to install your eSIM before you fly
- Buy the plan. The eSIM arrives by email, usually within a minute. Install it at home on Wi-Fi with the one-tap link or the QR code in the email. Every plan for Colombia starts on first use, so installing early costs you no days.
- Name the line Colombia and keep it off until you land. Do not delete it after setup, because an eSIM installs only once.
- On arrival, turn the line on, choose it for mobile data and turn on data roaming for it. Turn off data roaming on your home line.
Screen by screen steps for iPhone and Android are in our travel eSIM install guide.
Phones that work
Your phone must support eSIM and be unlocked. Check your model on our compatibility page.
