Getting connected in Colombia
In Colombia the plan uses the Claro and Movistar networks. In Bogota, Medellin, Cartagena and Cali the connection usually works well. On Andean mountain roads, in the coffee region, in the Amazon and on remote beaches coverage is weaker. Download an offline map if you make long road journeys or hikes.
WhatsApp is used a great deal in everyday Colombian life, and restaurants, guides and hosts reply there. For rides people use inDrive and Cabify, among others, and Rappi is popular for ordering food and shopping. App availability and rules vary by city, so check them before you go. In cities a map helps you picture distances and routes and find the right bus or metro.
A local SIM can be bought in a shop or at the airport, but registration takes time and there may be a queue at the till. The eSIM is installed beforehand and the data starts on arrival. Your own number stays in the phone and calls go through data. Roaming on your own plan is often dearer than a separate data plan.
