English
An eSIM for the Dominican Republic is a digital data plan for the phone you already own. There is no physical SIM card, no airport lines, and no passport needed. Your plan is ready on your SIMAREA account before you even leave home.
It works safely alongside your normal SIM. You keep your own number for calls and important text messages. Your data goes through the SIMAREA plan. Just turn off data roaming on your home SIM to avoid high bills.
Coverage comes from Altice, the one network these plans use. Your phone connects to it when you arrive.
If you stay longer, top up your current plan with more data. You do not need to buy a new one.
What it is not: a local phone number. If you need a number for verification codes, see virtual numbers.
Dominican Republic eSIM on Altice
Data for a resort week in Punta Cana or a stay in Santo Domingo, on one network. Choose the day pass or a plan of 7, 15, or 30 days before your trip.
The unlimited plan is the day pass we feature for the Dominican Republic: after its daily full-speed allowance it keeps you connected at a lower speed, and it is billed per day for the days you choose. Fixed plans are one price for the term shown. Nothing on this page is an estimate.
How to get mobile data in the Dominican Republic
Install it at home before you go. Some plans here start counting at installation, so check the line under the price for the plan you pick.
Pick eSIM plan
Choose how long you are there. The day pass is billed per day, so the term is yours to set.
Pay, then scan
Charged from your balance, which you top up with crypto. Your QR code is in your dashboard once the order is paid.
Turn it on when you arrive
Turn on data roaming for your SIMAREA plan when you arrive, and it joins a partner network.
What to know about an eSIM for the Dominican Republic
The specifics that decide whether a travel eSIM is useful once you're actually there.
Runs on Altice
Plans for the Dominican Republic connect to Altice. Your phone joins it once data roaming is on for the eSIM.
Set up before you go
No SIM card store, no passport check. Install it at home, then turn on data roaming for it when you arrive.
Hotspot sharing
Share your internet with a laptop or a friend, if your plan and phone allow it.
Keep your own number
The eSIM is just for internet. Your normal SIM still receives calls and important bank codes. You can use both at once.
Keep using the same eSIM
Staying longer? Top up the same plan with more data from your dashboard. No need for a new QR code.
If it does not work
Not installed or connected yet? Ask for a refund within 30 days of buying it. Installed but not working on any of its networks? Support helps, and refunds you if it cannot be fixed.
Dominican Republic eSIM: Altice, with a Singapore exit
Every plan on this page connects to Altice and no other network, and none of them marks 5G.
The exit is a long way from the Caribbean. Traffic leaves through Singapore, so sites see an address there rather than one in the Dominican Republic or your home country. It's the same on all nine plans; the way to a different exit is the Caribbean plan further down.
A day pass at 1 Mbps, or fixed data
The day pass gives 1 GB a day at full speed, then holds at 1 Mbps until the day resets. The fixed plans come as:
- 7 days: 100 MB, 500 MB, or 1 GB
- 15 days: 3 GB
- 30 days: 3, 5, 10, or 20 GB
Eight of the nine plans count their days from the first connection in the Dominican Republic, so those can wait on your phone until you're there; the 100 MB week counts from installation. Unused, a plan stays valid for 180 days. All nine top up with more data on the same eSIM, though 30 days remains the longest term.
Altice or Claro: adding Jamaica or Puerto Rico
One multi-country option lists the Dominican Republic: the 25-country Caribbean list, which also names Jamaica and Puerto Rico. Buying it changes more than the map:
- Network: Claro here, not Altice
- Exit: the UK, not Singapore
- Sizes: 1 GB for 7 days, or 3, 5, or 10 GB for 30 days
- Day pass: 1 GB a day, then 512 Kbps instead of 1 Mbps
Global 130 and the Latin America lists don't name the Dominican Republic. No regional or global list names Haiti, so a trip across that border takes a Haiti plan as well.
Dominican Republic eSIM questions
Does Global 130 include the Dominican Republic?
Its list doesn't name the country, so choose an Altice plan from this page or a Caribbean plan on Claro.
Is the Dominican Republic day pass unlimited?
It keeps you connected after the allowance at a lower speed: 1 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps until the day resets.
Does the eSIM come with an 809 or 829 number?
No. It's data only, with no number, calls, or SMS, and your regular SIM keeps the number you have. If you need a number that receives SMS, it's a separate rental: see virtual numbers.
What if I stay longer than 30 days?
A top-up adds data, not days. When the term runs out, a fresh Dominican Republic plan is the way to continue.
What if I change my mind before the trip?
Within 30 days of purchase, you can ask for a refund as long as the eSIM hasn't been installed or connected. Installed or used eSIMs aren't refundable, including when a phone turns out to be incompatible. If the eSIM works on no supported network in the Dominican Republic, support fixes or refunds it.
