Questions about Dominican Republic
Does this eSIM work at Punta Cana resorts?
Yes. The entire Punta Cana–Bávaro resort corridor has excellent 4G/5G from Altice and Claro. All-inclusive resorts, beach clubs, and golf courses are all covered.
Is there coverage in Santo Domingo's Colonial Zone?
Yes. The Zona Colonial (the oldest European city in the Americas) has 5G. The Catedral Primada de América and Fortaleza Ozama are all well-connected.
Does this eSIM work for whale watching in Samaná?
Yes. Samaná town and the whale-watching boats have 4G in the bay. Open ocean beyond the bay may have limited signal.
What currency does the Dominican Republic use?
Dominican peso (DOP). USD is widely accepted in tourist areas but local prices in pesos are better value. ATMs dispense pesos; some dispense USD.
Does the eSIM work at the border with Haiti?
Yes on the Dominican side. The border town of Dajabón has 4G. Haiti uses different carrier networks — you'd need a separate Haiti eSIM on the other side.
What is an eSIM?
An eSIM (embedded SIM) is a digital SIM built into your phone. Instead of a physical card, you scan a QR code and your plan installs instantly — no SIM tray needed.
Is my phone eSIM-compatible?
iPhone XS (2018) and newer, most Android flagships from 2020+, and all Samsung Galaxy S21+ devices support eSIM. Check our compatibility page for the full device list.
How do I install the eSIM?
After purchase, we email a QR code. On iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → Scan QR Code. On Android: Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM. The whole process takes under 60 seconds.
Can I keep my regular SIM while using this eSIM?
Yes. Most phones support dual SIM (physical + eSIM). Keep your home number for calls and SMS — use Flysimio for data abroad. You control which SIM handles what in your phone Settings.
Does the eSIM include a hotspot (tethering)?
Yes, all Flysimio plans include mobile hotspot at no extra charge. Share your data connection with laptops, tablets, or other devices freely.
What happens when my data runs out?
You can top up data from your account dashboard at any time. Top-ups are applied instantly — no need to buy a new eSIM or wait.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. We offer a full refund within 14 days of purchase. Contact contact@flysimio.com with your order number.
How long is the eSIM valid for?
You have 6 months from your purchase date to activate the eSIM. Once activated, the plan validity period (e.g., 7 days, 30 days) begins counting down.
Will the eSIM work at the airport when I land?
Yes — as long as you installed the eSIM before your flight, it activates automatically when your phone connects to a local network on landing. No Wi-Fi required for activation.
What if the QR code doesn't scan?
If the QR code won't scan, you can enter the activation code manually — we include both in the email. You can also contact our 24/7 support team and we'll resend or manually provision your eSIM.
