Altice across the country
Your eSIM connects to Altice on 4G. The Dominican Republic is the most visited country in the Caribbean and its network reflects that — Punta Cana, Santo Domingo, Puerto Plata, Cabarete, Las Terrenas and Samaná are all well covered.
The Cordillera Central, including the road up to Jarabacoa and Constanza, is patchier, as is the remote southwest toward Pedernales.
Notably cheaper than its neighbours
At £2.99 for a gigabyte, the Dominican Republic is several times cheaper than most Caribbean islands. It's a large market with real competition, which keeps wholesale rates closer to mainland levels than to the small-island prices you'll see on our Barbados or Bahamas pages.
If you're island-hopping the Caribbean, this is one of the few places where buying a decent-sized plan doesn't sting.
Beyond the all-inclusive
Most visitors stay in Punta Cana or Bávaro and never leave, which is a fair choice. If you do venture out, the colonial zone in Santo Domingo, the whale watching at Samaná between January and March, and the 27 waterfalls at Damajagua are all within coverage.
5 GB at £12.99 comfortably covers a fortnight of getting about.
Good to know
Questions, answered
Why is this so much cheaper than other Caribbean islands?+
It's a large market with genuine competition between operators, which keeps wholesale data rates far closer to mainland prices than the small-island economics you see in Barbados, the Bahamas or St Lucia.
Is there coverage in Samaná and Las Terrenas?+
Yes, both are well covered, as is the road across the peninsula. Handy during whale season when boat departure times shift with the weather.
How do I install it?+
After checkout we email your eSIM and a QR code. Scan it in your phone's settings, switch the line on, and you're ready — do it before you fly and it activates when you land.
Will it work on my phone?+
Most phones from the last few years support eSIM (iPhone XS and newer, recent Samsung/Pixel). Check your phone in Settings, or use our compatibility checker.
When does my plan start?+
Validity counts from first connection in the destination, not from purchase — so you can buy and install early without wasting days.
Can I keep using my normal number?+
Yes. The eSIM is data-only and runs alongside your usual SIM, so calls and texts on your main number still work.
