Connectivity in Colombia
In Colombia your eSIM connects to Claro and Movistar, the country's two largest networks, so you get fast 5G and LTE across Bogotá, Medellín, Cali and the Caribbean cities of Cartagena and Barranquilla. Coverage holds up well along the main highways and through the coffee towns around Salento and Manizales. It softens once you head into the Amazon near Leticia, the eastern plains of Los Llanos, and the remote Pacific stretches of Chocó.
La Guajira in the far north is worth planning around. Signal is decent in Riohacha, but as you push across the desert toward Cabo de la Vela and Punta Gallinas it thins out and often drops entirely. Expect the same on the Ciudad Perdida trek in the Sierra Nevada and on Providencia island, so download offline maps before you go and treat long offline stretches as normal.
Your eSIM connects automatically soon after you land, usually while you are still inside El Dorado in Bogotá or José María Córdova in Medellín, so you can book a ride or message ahead before you reach customs. Because the data may route through a partner gateway abroad, some banking and streaming sites can read you as browsing from another country and occasionally ask for extra verification.

Colombia eSIM FAQs
Which networks does the Colombia eSIM use, and where does it work?+−
It runs on Claro and Movistar, Colombia's two biggest networks. You get fast data in Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, Cartagena and along the main travel routes, with weaker or no signal in the Amazon, the La Guajira desert and remote Pacific areas.
Can I make calls or receive text codes on this eSIM?+−
No. This is a data-only plan with no phone number, so it cannot receive SMS codes or calls. Keep your usual SIM in the phone for bank OTP messages, and use WhatsApp or FaceTime over the data connection to stay reachable on your normal number.
Can I top up if I run low on data?+−
Standard plans can be topped up with more data before or after they run out. Unlimited plans cannot be extended, so when one ends you simply buy a fresh plan.
Will it work on San Andrés or the Ciudad Perdida trek?+−
San Andrés town has usable coverage from both networks, though it fades on Providencia and on beaches away from the centre. The multi-day Ciudad Perdida trek crosses the Sierra Nevada with almost no signal, so save offline maps before you set out.
