Dominican Republic travel data guide
A Dominican Republic eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Dominican Republic that you install before you fly. Plans in Dominican Republic run on Altice, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 12 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 10 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $3.99. Unlimited plans are listed too, each with its own fair use line. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Visiting more than one country? The Caribbean eSIM covers Dominican Republic and 24 other countries on one plan, from $6.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Dominican Republic, not when you buy, so you can install it at home days early. For a week of maps, messaging and social apps, most travellers are fine with 3 to 5 GB. Video calls or streaming need more, or an unlimited plan. Travel data in Dominican Republic from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Dominican Republic FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Dominican Republic?
It connects wherever Altice has signal, which is the same network local customers use. The eSIM is data only.
When do my days start?
On the first connection in Dominican Republic, not at purchase. The plan selected above (3 GB) runs for 1 day from that moment. You can install the eSIM at home and the clock stays still until you connect.
Do I get a local phone number in Dominican Republic?
No. The eSIM is data only. Your own SIM stays in for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working over the eSIM data.
Can I share data with my laptop?
Yes. Hotspot sharing is supported on the plan selected above, so your laptop or tablet can use the eSIM data through your phone.
How many GB do I need for one week in the Dominican Republic?
For one week in the Dominican Republic, 1 GB is enough if you mostly use resort WiFi and need mobile data only for maps and messages outside. If you want to stream or video call away from WiFi, choose the 7 day unlimited plan.
Does the Dominican Republic eSIM come with a local number?
No, the Dominican Republic eSIM is data only and has no local number. Your home SIM stays in the phone for calls and SMS. Messaging apps work over the eSIM's data and keep the number you already use.
What does unlimited really mean on these plans?
Unlimited on Dominican Republic plans means you can keep using data for the whole plan, with full speed for the first 3 GB each day. After that the speed is up to 1 Mbps until the next day.
Should I install the eSIM before I fly to the Dominican Republic?
Yes, install it at home on WiFi before you fly to the Dominican Republic. The plan does not begin at install. It begins when the eSIM first connects to a network there, usually just after you land and switch the line on.
Can I keep my home SIM switched on?
Yes, your home SIM can stay on for calls and texts. Set the eSIM as the mobile data line and turn data roaming off for the home SIM, so data only goes through the plan you paid for.
Can I top up my Dominican Republic eSIM?
Some Dominican Republic plans can be topped up and others cannot. The plan card shows this before you buy. If top up matters to you, choose a plan that lists it.
Can I use hotspot at the resort?
Yes, hotspot is allowed on all Dominican Republic plans, so a tablet or a second phone can share your data. On unlimited plans, shared data counts toward the 3 GB of full speed per day.
How do I top up if I run low?
Open My eSIMs, pick this eSIM and choose a top up. It goes onto the same eSIM, so there is no new QR code to scan.
