App seemed a little choppy to me and install was not as streamlined as some other ESIM apps. But, once installed the data worked fairly well and I didn’t have any speed issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Dominican Republic, and how many prepaid data plans are there?

More than 90 travel eSIM brands and more than 1500 prepaid data plans are available for use in the Dominican Republic. With such a wide variety of options, travelers will find an eSIM that suits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Dominican Republic?

Truely and Yesim both offer unlimited data eSIM plans for the Dominican Republic. Truely’s plans are valid for 1‑30 days and range in price from about $11.05 to $166.30 USD, while Yesim’s plans are valid for 1‑15 days and cost between $18.55 and $114.80 USD. Both providers allow tethering, but each may throttle speed or impose a maximum data rate, so users should check the latest terms for specifics. Across the available unlimited options, prices span roughly $11 to $166 USD.

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Dominican Republic?

In the Dominican Republic, the primary Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) are:

Claro Dominicana: The largest provider by subscriber count, offering extensive nationwide coverage and fast network speeds.
Altice Dominicana: A significant operator investing heavily in infrastructure, providing bundled internet and TV deals, with reliable coverage in major urban centers.
Viva Dominicana: A smaller operator focusing on affordable options, with coverage primarily in populated regions and some gaps in rural areas.

These MNOs own and operate the network infrastructure that most travel eSIMs utilize. While there are Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) in the Dominican Republic, they lease access from these major carriers. However, most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of the primary MNOs rather than MVNOs.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Dominican Republic?

Travel eSIM plans that provide a phone number and SMS service for the Dominican Republic are available from a couple of operators.
GlobaleSIM offers a range of “Dominican Republic” eSIMs that use the local dialing code +1, allow inbound and outbound voice calls, and support inbound SMS. Prices start at about $6.00 USD for 1 GB of data valid for 7 days and grow to roughly $59.00 USD for 20 GB valid for 30 days.

Roamify also supplies “Global Premium” eSIMs that use the +1 dialling code and provide both inbound and outbound voice as well as outbound SMS messaging. Their plans cover 1 GB for 7 days at $15.00 USD up to 15 GB for 30 days at $40.00 USD. Roamify’s one Dominican‑Republic‑specific eSIM uses a foreign dialling code (+33) and is not a local Dominican number.

Thus, travelers can acquire a local Dominican Republic phone number with SMS capability via these providers, or opt for a Roamify plan that includes outbound SMS while remaining a US‑style +1 number.
