Best eSIM for Colombia: Plans, Prices and 5G Coverage
August 3rd, 2026
TL;DR: The cheapest Keep On Roaming eSIM for Colombia is the Roam Like Home® Colombia 1 GB 7 Days plan at £7.50. If you measure value by price per gigabyte, the Colombia 100 GB 30 Days plan wins at £148.00, which works out at £1.48 per GB. For most trips, the Colombia 10 GB 30 Days plan at £19.50 (£1.95 per GB) balances price and headroom nicely, and unlimited data starts at £11.00 for a single day. Every plan runs on the Movistar Colombia network with speeds up to 5G. You can browse them all on our Colombia plans page.
What to look for in a travel eSIM for Colombia
Coverage on an established local network. Colombian itineraries often string together big cities and long stretches in between, from Bogotá and Medellín to Cartagena and the coffee region. You want your eSIM connecting to a proper local carrier rather than a patchwork. Keep On Roaming's Colombia plans use Movistar Colombia, with 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G support.
Flexibility on data and duration. A long weekend needs a very different plan to a month of backpacking. Look for a range that lets you buy what you will actually use, whether that is a small fixed allowance, a big 30 day bundle, or unlimited data for a short and intensive trip.
Easy top-ups. Underestimating your data needs is one of the most common travel mistakes. Choose a provider that lets you add more without starting from scratch. Existing Keep On Roaming eSIMs can be topped up with extra data from your account dashboard, with no need to install a new eSIM.
Installation before you fly. The best place to set up an eSIM is at home on reliable Wi-Fi, not in an arrivals hall. You install via QR code before you travel, and the eSIM activates when you arrive and connect. That means you step off the plane with data already working.

Which plan is the best value?
Price per gigabyte falls steadily as the plans get bigger. The 1 GB plan works out at £7.50 per GB, the 2 GB at £5.50, the 3 GB at £4.50, the 5 GB at £3.30, the 10 GB at £1.95, the 20 GB at £1.90, the 50 GB at £1.53, and the 100 GB at £1.48 per GB, the lowest of the whole range.
Unlimited plans do not have a per-GB price, but they suit short trips with heavy use. One day of unlimited data costs £11.00 and three days cost £16.50, the same prices as the 2 GB and 5 GB fixed plans. If you plan to stream video, take lots of video calls, or navigate all day every day, unlimited removes the need to count gigabytes.
For a one or two week holiday with normal use (maps, messaging, browsing and a bit of video), the 10 GB 30 Days plan at £19.50 is the one most travellers should shortlist. It gives you plenty of headroom without paying for data you will never touch.
Frequently asked questions
Will my phone work with an eSIM?
Most recent iPhones and many recent Android handsets support eSIM, but it is worth checking your specific model in the manufacturer's specifications before you buy. Your phone also needs to be unlocked, so if it came from a carrier on a contract, confirm it is not locked to that network.
When should I install my eSIM?
Before you fly. Install it via the QR code while you are still at home on good Wi-Fi. The eSIM activates when you arrive in Colombia and connect to the network, so installing early does not eat into your plan.
What happens if my data runs out?
You can top up an existing eSIM with more data straight from your account dashboard. There is no need to buy and install a new eSIM, so you keep the same setup on your phone and simply carry on.
Will my phone number change?
No. These plans are data-only, and they work alongside your existing SIM. Your number, calls and texts carry on as normal while the eSIM handles your mobile data in Colombia.
Which Colombian network will I be connected to?
Keep On Roaming's Colombia plans run on Movistar Colombia, with support for 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G.
Do these plans work outside Colombia?
These are Colombia-specific plans. If your route takes in neighbouring countries as well, pick up a separate plan for each destination before you set off so you are covered for the whole trip.
Ready to get connected?
Sort your data before you pack. Head to the Colombia plans page, choose the option that fits your trip, and install your eSIM before you fly. You will touch down in Colombia already connected.
