Best eSIM for Colombia (2026): 8 providers compared

For a week or more in Colombia, the cheapest fixed-data eSIM we found is NomadGB: $10.99 for 5GB or $17.99 for 10GB, both valid 30 days. If you want "unlimited" data, Maya Mobile is cheapest at $19.99 for 7 days (5GB a day at full speed, then 3 Mbps), well below our own daily plans. If you need a lot of data for a month, Airalo's 50GB plan at $49 beats everything we sell in Colombia.

How we compared: we took each provider's prices from its own website on 13 November 2026 and our own catalog on the same week. We compared the cheapest plan, about 5GB, 10GB and 20GB, the "unlimited" or daily option for about 7 days, and the local network each eSIM uses. We also checked hotspot rules and phone numbers where the provider states them. Saily and Jetpac block or did not show automated price checks, so their prices are marked "not checked".

Every "unlimited" plan in this table has a cap. Airalo slows to 1 Mbps after 3GB a day, Maya to 3 Mbps after 5GB a day, Ubigi to 2 Mbps after 20GB in total, and our daily plan to 512 Kbps after 3GB a day. Holafly says its fair use policy can slow you for up to one day.

Best for each need

NomadGB: best price for fixed data

Our Colombia eSIM is the cheapest per gigabyte at every fixed size we compared: $10.99 for 5GB, $17.99 for 10GB and $34.49 for 20GB, all valid 30 days. It connects to Movistar (5G) and Claro (4G), so you are not tied to one network in places where one is weak. The limitation is unlimited data: our 3GB-a-day plan costs $49.99 for 7 days, which is much more than Maya, Airalo, Holafly or Ubigi. We also do not sell a 50GB Colombia plan. If you stream or tether all day, pick one of those instead.

Maya Mobile: cheapest unlimited

Maya Mobile costs $19.99 for 7 days or $49.99 for 30 days. Full speed lasts 5GB a day, then drops to 3 Mbps, which is still enough for video calls. It uses Claro, the network that led nPerf's 2025 Colombia ranking. Maya sells one global plan for all countries, so you do not get a Colombia-only discount for small users.

Airalo: best for one heavy month

Airalo is not cheap for small plans ($26 for 10GB over 7 days), but its 50GB for 30 days at $49 is the lowest price for a big monthly bucket in this comparison. Its unlimited week is $27.50 with a 3GB daily cap. Airalo's "Chimba+" plans add calls and texts, which most others here do not.

Nomad: simple 30-day plans

Nomad (nomadesim.com, the getnomad.app company, not our brand NomadGB) charges $15 for 5GB and $25 for 10GB, valid 30 days, on Movistar. It has no unlimited plan for Colombia. Prices are fair but above ours at each size.

Ubigi: second network option

Ubigi lists Movistar and Tigo. Its 7-day unlimited is $29 with 20GB at full speed in total. Tigo had the best 4G coverage score in nPerf's latest barometer, which matters outside the big cities.

Holafly: unlimited with fewer rules

Holafly costs $28.50 for 7 days on Telefonica (Movistar). It does not state a daily gigabyte cap, but hotspot is limited to 1GB a day. It costs more than Maya for the same week.

Saily and Jetpac

Saily is the eSIM app from Nord Security (the NordVPN company) and adds an ad blocker and virtual location in its app. Its site blocked our price check, so we cannot compare its Colombia price. Jetpac sells data packs with a free airport lounge pass if your flight is delayed. We did not check its Colombia prices.

Mobile coverage in Colombia: which network works where

Colombia has four main networks: Claro, Movistar, Tigo and WOM. nPerf's 2025 barometer (July 2024 to June 2025) ranked Claro first for overall experience with the highest average download speed, followed by Movistar, WOM and Tigo. nPerf's next barometer (September 2025 to August 2026) gave Tigo the best 4G coverage score at 86.72%, just ahead of Claro at 85.48% and Movistar at 83.23%. Claro leads 5G coverage with 43.22%.

What this means for you: in Bogotá, Medellín, Cali and Cartagena, all four networks are fine. In coffee country, the Caribbean coast villages and smaller towns, an eSIM that can use Claro or Tigo is a safer bet than one tied only to Movistar. Our plan covers Movistar and Claro, Ubigi covers Movistar and Tigo, and Maya uses Claro.

Which one should you pick?

• Short trip (under a week, light use): NomadGB 1GB for $2.99 or 5GB for $10.99.
• 2 to 4 weeks, normal use: NomadGB 10GB for $17.99 or 20GB for $34.49, valid 30 days.
• Heavy data for a month: Maya at $49.99 for 30 days (5GB a day cap) or Airalo 50GB at $49.
• Hotspot for a laptop: Maya or Ubigi, both state hotspot is allowed. Holafly limits sharing to 1GB a day.
• Tight budget for a week of unlimited: Maya at $19.99.
• Need a phone number: Airalo's Chimba+ plans include calls and texts. The others here are data only.
