## Networks

- Venezuela: Digitel (4G)

## How much data do I need for Venezuela?

Match your plan to how long you stay and how much you will use your phone.

- **A short work trip of 3 days:** Standard use for a trip this length, with messages, email and some maps, fits 3 GB for 15 days.
- **A family visit of one week:** For standard use, with social media, music and some video, pick 5 GB for 30 days.
- **A fortnight of messages and directions:** Light use over 14 days, with maps, messages and email, fits 5 GB for 30 days.
- **A long stay of 30 days for a project:** For standard use across the month, 20 GB for 30 days gives you room to work.

Every plan can be topped up, and the longest plan runs for 30 days.

## Will my eSIM have signal in Venezuela?

Your eSIM joins Digitel, the network it uses in Venezuela. Digitel runs on 4G rather than 5G, so that's what your phone will connect to. Your phone picks Digitel by itself once you land, so there is nothing to set up.

Your data reaches the internet through a United Kingdom IP address. That's a normal setup for travel eSIMs, and the [IP address help page](/help/ip-address-another-country) explains it in full.

Use WhatsApp and Telegram on your data as usual. If you choose a daily plan, your speed drops to a slower fair-use speed once that day's allowance is used.

## Using your phone in Venezuela: data tips

- **Arriving:** Install your eSIM at home on Wi-Fi. At Simón Bolívar, Maiquetía (CCS), switch it on and [turn on data roaming](/help/turn-on-data-roaming) for the eSIM line. Your data runs on Digitel's 4G network.
- **Staying in touch:** Message on WhatsApp or Telegram over your eSIM data. Your home number stays on for calls and texts. To keep your WhatsApp account, [follow these steps](/help/keep-whatsapp-and-home-number).
- **Using data:** Maps, messages and email use about 0.25 GB a day, while streaming and hotspot use about 1.8 GB a day. Once a daily allowance is used up, data slows down, so pick an allowance that suits your use.
- **Topping up:** Every plan can be topped up, so you can add more data partway through your trip if you need it.
- **If data stops:** Check the eSIM line is switched on and data roaming is on, then try again.

## Questions

### How much is an eSIM for Venezuela?

Venezuela eSIMs start at £17.99 for 1 GB over 7 days. A 5 GB plan for 30 days costs £78.99. Prices include any taxes and show in pounds, euros or dollars.

### Which networks does the Venezuela eSIM use?

Your eSIM connects to Digitel in Venezuela. Your phone picks the strongest signal automatically.

### When does my Venezuela eSIM start?

Most plans start the moment your eSIM first connects to a network in Venezuela, so you can buy and install it at home before you fly. Install it within 180 days of buying.

### Can I top up my Venezuela eSIM?

Yes. Most Venezuela 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?

Venezuela plans route your data through United Kingdom, a normal setup for travel eSIMs. Websites and apps may show that country's content; your speed and coverage in Venezuela 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.

### Does WhatsApp work with an eSIM in Venezuela?

Yes. WhatsApp and Telegram both run over your mobile data, so you can message home from Caracas or Mérida. Maps and messages draw on the same allowance, so keep an eye on your daily total.

### Which network will my eSIM use at Simón Bolívar, Maiquetía (CCS)?

Your eSIM uses Digitel's 4G network, so that is the network you'll be on when you land at Simón Bolívar, Maiquetía (CCS). Switch your eSIM on before you collect your bags so you can message and check maps as you head into Caracas.

### How much data do I need for a week in Venezuela?

Light use, such as maps, messages and email, needs about 1.8 GB for a week. Standard use with social media, music and some video is about 4.9 GB, while heavy use with streaming and hotspot is about 12.6 GB.

### Is there 5G in Venezuela?

No. Digitel's network in Venezuela is 4G, so that's the signal your eSIM uses, and your phone's status bar should show 4G rather than 5G.

### Should I download offline maps before going to Canaima?

Yes, save offline maps before you set out. Your eSIM uses Digitel's 4G network, but in remote places such as Canaima and Los Roques you'll want directions saved on your phone whatever signal you find.
