Match how long you stay with how you'll use your phone, and the right plan is simple to pick. - **A three-day city break in Santo Domingo:** with light use, like maps and messages, 1 GB for 7 days is the plan. - **A fortnight touring:** for 14 days of standard use, with social media, music and some video, the plan is 10 GB for 30 days. - **A week plus another Caribbean stop:** for a week of standard use, the plan is 5 GB for 30 days. If you also visit other Caribbean countries, the [Caribbean eSIM](/esim/caribbean) covers 25 countries, the Dominican Republic included. - **A month of heavy use:** for 30 days of streaming and hotspot, the plan is 3 GB a day for 30 days. Most plans can be topped up, and the longest one runs for 30 days. ## Which networks will my eSIM use in the Dominican Republic? Your eSIM joins Altice, a 4G network, so there's just one network to know about. Your phone picks Altice on its own, with nothing to switch on or choose. WhatsApp messages, maps and rides with Uber or inDrive all run over it. Resorts, cities and main roads are well covered; signal can be weaker in the mountains and remote areas. Your data reaches the internet through Singapore, a normal setup for travel eSIMs. The [IP address help page](/help/ip-address-another-country) explains what that means for you. Daily plans slow to 512 Kbps once you've used the day's allowance. ## Using your eSIM in the Dominican Republic: airports, rides and WhatsApp **Arriving:** Install your eSIM at home on Wi-Fi. Then, when you land at Las Américas (SDQ), Punta Cana (PUJ) or Gregorio Luperón (POP), switch it on and turn on data roaming for that line using the [data roaming steps](/help/turn-on-data-roaming). **Network:** Altice is the network your eSIM uses, and it runs on 4G, not 5G. **Getting around:** Download Uber and inDrive at home on Wi-Fi, so your first ride is sorted before you land. Both are ride apps you can use once your data is on. **Staying in touch:** Message friends and family on WhatsApp over your eSIM data, while your home number stays on for calls and texts. The [WhatsApp and home number guide](/help/keep-whatsapp-and-home-number) walks you through the setup. **Topping up:** Most plans can be topped up, so if the trip runs long you can add more data without buying another plan. ## Questions ### How much is an eSIM for the Dominican Republic? Dominican Republic eSIMs start at £3.99 for 100 MB over 7 days. A 5 GB plan for 30 days costs £18.99. Prices include any taxes and show in pounds, euros or dollars. ### Which networks does the Dominican Republic eSIM use? Your eSIM connects to Altice in the Dominican Republic. Your phone picks the strongest signal automatically. ### When does my Dominican Republic eSIM start? Most plans start the moment your eSIM first connects to a network in the Dominican Republic, so you can buy and install it at home before you fly. Install it within 180 days of buying. ### Can I top up my Dominican Republic eSIM? Yes. Most Dominican Republic plans can be topped up from your eSIM page in two taps, with no new QR code. The plan table on this page shows which ones. ### Why does my IP address show another country? Dominican Republic plans route your data through Singapore, a normal setup for travel eSIMs. Websites and apps may show that country's content; your speed and coverage in the Dominican Republic are not affected. ### Does it come with a phone number? Every eSIMology plan is data only. Keep your own SIM switched on for calls and texts, and use WhatsApp, FaceTime or any calling app over your eSIM's data. ### What if my plans change? Cancel an eSIM you haven't installed within 30 days for a full refund to your card, in two taps from your eSIM page. ### Can I book Uber or inDrive in the Dominican Republic with an eSIM? Yes, Uber and inDrive both run on mobile data, so from Las Américas (SDQ) to Santo Domingo your ride is a few taps away once your eSIM is on. Download both apps before you fly, so your hotel's address is already saved when you land. ### How much data do I need for a week in the Dominican Republic? For a week of maps and messages, about 1.8 GB covers it. Add social media, music and some video and you're closer to 4.9 GB. Heavy use, with streaming, comes to about 12.6 GB, so choose your plan to match. ### Is there 5G in the Dominican Republic? No, the Dominican Republic runs on 4G only, and Altice is the network your eSIM uses here. Expect 4G in Santo Domingo, Punta Cana and Puerto Plata, which is plenty for maps and messages. ### Can I use WhatsApp in the Dominican Republic? Yes, WhatsApp is the local messaging app to have ready. In Punta Cana, messages to home, your hotel and your driver all travel on your eSIM data. ### Which eSIM covers the Dominican Republic and other Caribbean countries? A Caribbean eSIM covers the Dominican Republic along with other countries in the region, so one install can handle a trip that crosses several of them. Choose the size you need on the [Caribbean page](/esim/caribbean).
