eSIM for Georgia: mobile data for Tbilisi, Batumi and the mountains
Staying online in Georgia with a travel eSIM — coverage in the cities and in the Caucasus mountains, how much data a trip takes, and setting it up before you fly.
In short
- A travel eSIM for Georgia uses the main Georgian networks, with good 4G in Tbilisi, Batumi and Kutaisi.
- In the mountains — Kazbegi, Svaneti, Tusheti — coverage is good in villages and patchy on the roads between them.
- Ride apps and maps are the easiest way to get around Tbilisi and Batumi without haggling.
- For a week, 3–5 GB covers maps, rides, messages and photos for most travellers.
Georgia packs a lot into a small country: the old town and wine bars of Tbilisi, the Black Sea at Batumi, monasteries, and the high Caucasus in Kazbegi and Svaneti. Getting around the cities is easiest with ride apps; in the mountains, an offline map and a working connection in the villages make the trip much easier. A travel eSIM is ready before you fly.
Coverage and speed
A travel eSIM for Georgia uses the main Georgian mobile networks. Tbilisi, Batumi, Kutaisi and the main highways have good 4G. In the mountain regions the villages are covered, while the passes and hiking trails between them can be out of signal.
The networks each package uses are listed on the Georgia page.

Questions and answers
Does the eSIM work in Kazbegi and Svaneti?
Yes, in the towns and villages; on high passes and long hikes expect stretches without signal.
Do I get a Georgian phone number?
No, a travel eSIM is data only. Your own number stays on your own SIM for calls and SMS.
When do the package's days start?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Georgia, not when you buy or install it.
