Using mobile data in Colombia
Your eSIM connects to a local network in Colombia, so maps, messages, rides, and translation work like they do at home. Data roaming must be switched on for the eSIM line. That is normal for travel eSIMs and it does not cost extra.
Distances in South America are big and bus rides are long. An eSIM keeps maps, translation, and messages working the whole way.
Mobile networks in Colombia
eSIM plans for Colombia connect through Tigo. Service is 4G LTE. Speeds are fine for maps, messaging, and video calls.
Tigo is one of Colombia's established mobile operators, known as a challenger to the larger incumbents. Your data here runs on LTE, which handles maps, messaging, and video calls without trouble.
Coverage is strongest in Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, and along the Caribbean coast around Cartagena. Colombia is mountainous and jungle-covered in places, so expect the signal to weaken in the Andes and remote areas.

Where the network reaches
The big cities and popular coastal spots get solid LTE. Coffee-region towns are generally covered too.
Head into the mountains, the Amazon, or off the main roads and you will hit dead zones. Save maps offline before those trips.
Apps and messaging
WhatsApp is how Colombians message, both socially and with businesses. It works normally on a data-only eSIM.
Ride-hailing apps operate in the cities. Because the eSIM has no local number, sign in with an account tied to your home number for any SMS verification.
