Colombia eSIM with Calls & Phone Number

You can get an eSIM for Colombia on this page before you fly. Choose the plan you want, pay by card, and the QR code arrives by email in minutes. Scan it at home on Wi-Fi and the line is installed. There is no counter at El Dorado, no shop in Bogotá and no paperwork on arrival.

Yes, an eSIM works in Colombia. An eSIM for Colombia is a digital SIM card built into your phone. This line runs on the Orange Worldwide plan and roams onto the Colombian mobile networks, so your phone registers on its own once data roaming is switched on for it. There is no APN to enter and no profile to choose, because that was all settled when you installed the eSIM.

An eSIM for Colombia starts at 30,95€; the price depends on how much data and how many days you need. The price table above on this page shows every option with its allowance and validity, in your own currency. The plan is prepaid, so you pay once before you leave and nothing appears on a bill later.

eSIM use in Colombia runs on the Orange Worldwide plan, which roams onto Colombian mobile networks, so you never choose an operator and there is nothing to configure. If the phone stays blank after landing, turn airplane mode on for ten seconds and off again, or pick a network by hand in network selection.

Yes, it does come with a phone number. Calls and texts are included and the line comes with its own number. The dialling code is +33, France, because that is where the plan is issued, so it is not a Colombian number. It works for calling and texting normally, and your home number stays reachable in the phone alongside it.

Not with a passport or cédula, for this line. You install it yourself before departure, so there is no counter, no form and no document to hand over after landing. Buying a locally sold prepaid card is the version that involves showing identification at a shop during opening hours.

Yes, outside Bogotá and Medellín the signal still holds in the other main cities and along main roads. Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, Cartagena, Barranquilla and the coffee region are the dependable part. It thins where any network does: the Amazon around Leticia, the Pacific coast in Chocó, the high passes of the Andes and the Sierra Nevada trails. Download your maps first.

Often, yes, into Peru or Ecuador too. The Orange Worldwide plan covers a long list of countries besides Colombia, so a South America trip can run on one line. Check the plan's country list before you rely on it, and if a stop is not included, add a plan for that country too.

Data needs for Colombia run around 500 MB a day for the everyday things: maps in Bogotá or Medellín, WhatsApp, ride-hailing apps and a little browsing. Uploading photos from Cartagena or the Coffee Triangle each evening pushes it to 1-2 GB a day. Streaming or tethering a laptop on long bus legs is what really eats it. Bundle sizes are listed in the table on this page.

The eSIM that's best for Colombia comes down to what you need besides data. For maps and messages alone, a plain data plan is enough. This one adds its own number for calls and texts, which helps when a hotel, driver or tour operator has to ring you back, though that number is an international one, not a Colombian one. Validity is a fixed 30 days.

Yes. Because you get a real phone number, SMS verification codes arrive directly on your phone — so you can sign up for or verify WhatsApp, Telegram, banking apps and almost any service. No extra app required.

No. This is a real eSIM with a real number that works natively on your phone — calls use your normal dialer and texts land in your phone's Messages app. The Simbye app is optional and only used to manage your plan.

Yes. You can make and receive calls and SMS with your included number — just like a local SIM, with no contract and no roaming bills. International calls are included as a set number of minutes depending on your plan.
