Colombia
eSIM.Fast 5G data plans. Instant activation, no SIM swap.

The best Colombia eSIM combines wide coverage, clear pricing, and instant setup. Flysimio runs on Claro, Movistar, Tigo, and WOM — networks that cover Bogotá, Medellín, and Cartagena, plus the Coffee Region and the Caribbean coast — with 5G in the major cities. Plans are prepaid with no contract and no roaming surprises, so the price you see is what you pay. Your QR code arrives by email seconds after checkout and installs in under a minute, every plan includes free mobile hotspot, and there's a 7-day money-back guarantee. Land at Bogotá or Medellín already connected — no airport SIM queue.

Getting online in Colombia takes about two minutes. First, confirm your phone supports eSIM — iPhone XS (2018) and newer and most Android flagships from 2020 qualify. Choose your Colombia plan on Flysimio and pay with card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay; your QR code arrives by email within seconds. On Wi-Fi before you fly, open Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM (iPhone) or Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM (Android) and scan it — a manual code is included too. Keep your home line as default until arrival. When you land at Bogotá, Medellín, or Cartagena, your Flysimio line connects automatically to a Colombian network — no kiosk, no physical SIM.

Most travellers over-buy. For maps, messaging, and email, roughly 300 MB a day is plenty, so a 3–5 GB plan covers a week in Bogotá comfortably. Add social media, photos, and music and you'll want about 700 MB a day — a 10 GB plan suits a two-week trip taking in Medellín, Cartagena, and the Coffee Region. Digital nomads working from Medellín and anyone tethering a laptop should plan for 1.5 GB or more per day or choose an unlimited daily plan. Use the calculator above to size it, and you can top up mid-trip if you run low.

Flysimio runs as a second line beside your usual SIM, so you keep your home number for calls and texts while your Colombian data flows over the eSIM — standard dual-SIM behaviour on iPhone XS and later and most Android phones from 2018. After installing, set the Flysimio eSIM as your cellular-data line and turn on Data Roaming for that line only; it simply lets the eSIM connect to Colombian networks, with no roaming fees. Keep your home SIM on for messages and calls, or switch it off to avoid your own carrier's charges. If you're unsure about your model, the compatibility page confirms it before you buy.

Every Flysimio Colombia plan includes mobile hotspot at no extra cost and without throttling — a favourite of the digital nomads based in Medellín, who tether a laptop and use the full allowance freely. As a data-only eSIM it has no Colombian phone number, but that rarely matters: WhatsApp — used by nearly everyone in Colombia — plus FaceTime and Google Meet handle calls and messages over data, and your home number stays reachable on your primary SIM. You stay connected from the Andes to the Caribbean without the per-minute charges of traditional roaming.

For a few days in Cartagena or a quick business trip to Bogotá, a small 1–5 GB plan on a 7-day validity is the most economical choice. For a two-week trip across Medellín, the Coffee Region, and the coast — or a longer nomad stay — a 10–20 GB plan or an unlimited daily option lets you navigate, stream, and work without watching a meter. Because Flysimio gives you six months to activate, you can buy before you leave and the validity only starts when your eSIM first connects in Colombia. No contract, nothing to cancel — the plan stops when it's done, and you can top up or rebuy for your next trip.
