Networks and coverage in the Dominican Republic
ONE eSIM's Dominican Republic plans run on Altice with 4G coverage. That's solid in Punta Cana, Santiago and Santo Domingo, though 5G isn't available on this network yet, so expect reliable 4G speeds rather than the fastest tier. For checking maps, messaging friends and family, posting photos from the beach or the Zona Colonial, and streaming music while you wander, 4G on Altice is plenty — you won't notice the lack of 5G unless you're trying to move very large files.
Which eSIM should you choose for the Dominican Republic?
- Short trip, light use (up to 3 GB): ONE eSIM's 3 GB plan at $13.20 (15 days), the cheapest at that size.
- Two weeks or more (5 to 10 GB): Nomad at $27.00 (30 days) is the cheapest at 10 GB.
- Heavy use (20 GB): Nomad at $31.00 (30 days) is the cheapest at 20 GB.
- Streaming or video calls every day: compare the unlimited plans above by how much full-speed data each gives a day.
How to set up your Dominican Republic eSIM
- Check your phone supports eSIM and is carrier-unlocked — most phones from the last few years do, but it's worth checking your model if you're unsure.
- Buy and install the eSIM on Wi-Fi before you fly, so it's ready the moment you land and you're not fiddling with a QR code at the airport.
- Turn on the eSIM line and data roaming once you land in the Dominican Republic, and switch off data on your home SIM to avoid double charges.
- If your 1 GB or 3 GB plan runs out before your trip ends, you can buy and add another package to the same eSIM profile rather than starting over.
