Colombia eSIM: the APN Android makes you type
A data-only profile from Hartonet, riding Tigo (LTE) as a visitor. No local shop, no local number, no counter.
4 plans for Colombia, from 1 GB at $5.99 to 5 GB at $18.99. 5 GB for 30 days costs $18.99 — 22nd cheapest of 54 in the Americas, against a $22.99 median. Our retail prices from the operator catalogue, checked 28 September 2026.
On Android the APN is not filled in for you: type globaldata by hand, or there is no data.

Questions people ask about Colombia
Can I buy the Colombia eSIM as a tourist, or does someone check my passport first?
No counter and no document: the Hartonet profile arrives as a QR by email and joins Tigo the moment you scan it. The catalogue records no identity check on it, checked 28 September 2026.
Will WhatsApp calls work on the Colombia eSIM, and do I get a phone number?
WhatsApp and FaceTime calls run over data, so they work. The Hartonet profile is data-only — all 4 Colombia plans are — so it carries no phone number: no SMS, no ordinary calls. Keep your home SIM in the phone for bank codes.
How much data do I need for a week in Colombia?
About 2.4 GB — maps, chats and a podcast a day, with video left on hotel Wi-Fi. In Colombia the cheapest plan that covers it is 3 GB - 30 days at $11.99. That is a guide, not a measurement: the rates are the services' own published figures.
Will I get 5G on the Colombia eSIM?
No — the Colombia profile is specified for 4G on Tigo, not 5G. For maps, calls over data and streaming that is the same experience; 5G changes the number, not the trip.
Does the Colombia eSIM work in the countries next door?
No — the catalogue lists this as a local Colombia profile on Tigo, not a regional plan; it stops at the border. 54 other Americas countries in the catalogue sell their own.
