Best eSIM for Colombia: Real Prices Compared for Bogotá, Cartagena and Medellín

Colombia has turned into one of the most-asked-about South American destinations on my beat — Bogotá for a work trip, Cartagena's old town for a few beach days, Medellín for a longer stay. I checked the live, current pricing across 121 providers carrying Colombia plans in our database, and the market here runs noticeably pricier than in Australia or Canada — worth knowing before you buy the first plan you see.

Quick-answer picks

• Cheapest plan overall: Superalink — a full Unlimited day for $1.00, actually cheaper than most fixed-data starter passes here.
• Best per-GB rate for heavy data use: WorldSIM — 100GB over 30 days at $58.64, around $0.60 per GB.
• Best per-day rate for frequent travelers: BNESIM — 1GB stretched over 180 days for $4.53.
• Best real week-long plan: WorldSIM — 1GB for 7 days at $5.76.
• Best value for a full month, fixed data: Orbit Mobile — 1GB for 30 days at $3.50.

Provider-by-provider breakdown

WorldSIM has the strongest fixed-data ladder we found for Colombia: $5.76 for 1GB/7 days, $9.52 for 3GB/30 days, $16.54 for 5GB/30 days, and then a genuinely good jump — 10GB for 30 days at $24.04 and 20GB for the same month at just $25.15, barely more than the 10GB tier. If you think you'll use more than 10GB, WorldSIM's 20GB plan is close to a free upgrade.

BNESIM is the clear choice for a long stay or repeat visits — 1GB over 180 days is $4.53, and 5GB over that same six-month window is $13.10. Nothing else in our Colombia data comes close on a per-day basis once your trip runs past a few weeks.

MobiMatter lists several 1GB/7-day options for Colombia at different price points — worth comparing a couple of its plans side by side rather than clicking the first one, since the data and duration are identical across all of them.

Esimatic shows the familiar multi-listing pattern here too — the same nominal tier can show up at more than one price, most likely single-country versus regional-bundle listings. Check the specific plan details before assuming there's only one price.

eSIMGlobe is a solid budget option for a short trip: 500MB for a single day at currently unavailable, and its 1GB tier splits between currently unavailable (one day) and $4.70 (a week), both reasonable if you just need light coverage.

Ubigi keeps its Colombia lineup narrow but useful at the low end — a 0.5GB/30-day option at $5.00, a genuinely good pick if you just need occasional maps and messaging spread across a full month rather than a short burst of data.

co:sim runs noticeably higher in Colombia than we've seen it price the same tiers in other countries — a real example of per-market pricing differences even within the same provider, worth comparing directly against the alternatives above before assuming it's competitive here.

GigSky is the priciest way into Colombia at the smallest tiers, but as with several other countries we track, its exact listings can vary a lot in price for what looks like the same tier — always check the exact listing before assuming there's one fixed price for a given size.

Why the prices vary this much

Colombia's overall price floor sits higher than Australia's or Canada's, and that pattern holds through most of the individual providers we checked, not just one outlier. On top of that baseline gap, the usual two patterns apply: Unlimited-by-day pricing (Superalink) is a different product from fixed-data bundles, and several providers — Esimatic and MobiMatter especially — list the same data-and-duration tier at more than one price, almost certainly single-country versus regional-bundle listings.

If you're unsure how much data your trip will actually use, our data usage guide is worth checking before defaulting to the largest tier "just in case."

Which plan fits your trip

• A few beach days in Cartagena: eSIMGlobe's 500MB/1-day pass or Ubigi's 0.5GB/30-day plan both cover the basics without paying for data you won't use.
• A week covering Bogotá and Medellín: WorldSIM's 1GB/7-day plan at $5.76 is the strongest real week-long option we found.
• Two to three weeks touring the country: WorldSIM's 20GB/30-day plan at $25.15 is the strongest value at this length — barely more than its own 10GB tier.
• A long stay or frequent trips to Colombia: BNESIM's 180-day plans are built for exactly this, with 1GB stretched over six months costing under $5.

A few practical notes

Every plan above is data-only, so you'll still need WhatsApp, iMessage, or your home SIM for calls and texts — none of these include a Colombian phone number. Coverage in Bogotá, Medellín, and Cartagena is solid 4G; more remote regions, including parts of the Amazon and the Pacific coast, can have real gaps regardless of provider. Install your eSIM over WiFi before you fly rather than relying on airport WiFi on arrival, and double-check your phone is eSIM-compatible and unlocked — our compatibility checker takes about a minute.
