To select the right plan, consider both the length of your stay and your expected data usage. Our plans are designed to match various travel styles and durations.

For short trips or light data use: If you are visiting for a few days or primarily use data for maps, email, and occasional browsing, plans with 1 GB or 3 GB of data are often sufficient. These are suitable for trip lengths of 7 to 10 days with moderate use.

For longer stays or regular use: For a week-long vacation or more, where you plan to use social media, stream music, and share photos, consider plans with 5 GB, 10 GB, or 20 GB. These options provide more flexibility for travelers who want to stay connected without constantly monitoring their usage.

For heavy users or ultimate convenience: If you need a constant connection for work, video calls, or travel with family, an unlimited data plan is the most practical choice. It removes any worry about data limits for the duration of your trip, which can be up to 30 days. Our unlimited plans do not have a speed limit for a set amount of data.

Your Dominican Republic eSIM will connect you to the local network of Altice. This provides strong coverage in major cities, tourist destinations, and coastal areas. Please note that all our plans for the Dominican Republic are for data only. They do not come with a local phone number or support for traditional voice calls and SMS. You can easily make and receive calls using internet-based applications like WhatsApp, FaceTime, Skype, or other VoIP services over your data connection.

Make the most of your mobile data with these practical tips for your visit.

• Activate on arrival: Turn on your eSIM line as soon as you land at airports like Punta Cana (PUJ) or Las Américas (SDQ) to get online immediately for arranging transport or contacting your accommodation.
• Coverage expectations: You can expect reliable service in popular areas such as Santo Domingo, Punta Cana, Puerto Plata, and La Romana. In more remote rural areas, mountainous regions, or on smaller offshore islands, the signal may be less consistent.
• Relying on Wi-Fi: While resorts, cafes, and restaurants often provide Wi-Fi, having your own secure mobile data is invaluable for navigating with GPS, using translation apps, and staying connected while exploring beaches or towns where public Wi-Fi is unavailable.
• Keep your home number: Your eSIM handles your data, so you can keep your primary phone number active. This means apps like WhatsApp, iMessage, and Telegram will continue to work with your existing contacts without any changes.

Setting up your eSIM is straightforward. Follow these steps to get connected:

1. Install before you go: Before your departure, scan the QR code or follow the manual instructions from your confirmation email to install the eSIM profile on your device. A stable Wi-Fi connection is required for this step.
2. Activate upon arrival: Once you land in the Dominican Republic, go to your phone’s cellular settings. Turn on your Cellesim eSIM line and enable Data Roaming for it.
3. Check validity: Your plan’s validity period may start upon installation or when it first connects to a network in the Dominican Republic. Please refer to the specific details of your plan for confirmation.

The best eSIM depends on your individual needs. Cellesim offers a range of options, from small data packages for light users to unlimited data plans for those who need a constant connection. All plans connect to a reliable local network to keep you online during your travels.
