eSIM, local SIM or pocket Wi-Fi in Colombia?

Before you land in Colombia
Our Colombia plan uses Claro, the country's largest network, with 4G in the cities and 5G growing fast. Colombia's phone registration rule is about Colombian SIM cards; phones roaming on a foreign line are exempt, as the notes below explain.

Questions
What is the best eSIM for Colombia?
For most trips, 5 GB for 30 days is enough: $11.79 here, against $16.00 at Airalo for the same data (read 6 Nov 2026). It is data only and needs no app: the QR code and a one-tap install link arrive by email. Every brand's price for Colombia, dated and sourced, is on our comparison page.
Which Colombia eSIM for a month?
Every one of these lasts 30 days: 3 GB $6.90, 5 GB $11.79, 10 GB $20.89, 20 GB $33.90. The 30 days start when the eSIM first connects to a network there, so you can buy before the trip.
Can I buy a Colombia eSIM without an app?
Yes. You pay on this page and the QR code and a one-tap install link arrive by email: no app and no account. It is data only, with no phone number, so your home SIM keeps your calls and SMS.
Does the Colombia eSIM come with a phone number?
No. It is data only: no local number, calls or SMS on this eSIM. Your home SIM stays in the phone for calls and texts (your carrier's roaming rates apply to them), and WhatsApp, FaceTime or Signal calls run over the eSIM's data. If you need a local number in Colombia, for example for a service that texts a code, buy a local SIM there.
Which Colombia eSIM for a week or two?
For 7 days: 1 GB $3.49. The 30-day packs cover one or two weeks too: 3 GB $6.90, 5 GB $11.79.
Will WhatsApp keep my number with a Colombia eSIM?
Yes. WhatsApp stays on your home number: this eSIM is data only and has no number. Leave your home SIM in the phone with its data roaming off, use the Colombia eSIM for mobile data, and do not re-register WhatsApp.
