About “unlimited” plans: Plans marketed as unlimited, including Holafly plans, may still be subject to local network Fair Usage Policies (FUP) and temporary speed reductions after heavy use. Unlimited data does not always mean unlimited full-speed data.
Buying a local SIM instead
Where to buy: Tbilisi International Airport (arrival hall) and operator stores in Tbilisi and Batumi. Passport required. Magti eSIM needs an in-store visit; Silknet eSIM can be bought online.
Price: Cheap: SIMs from around 3.65 to 5.55 USD including data. Local prices undercut travel eSIMs. USD
Georgia has genuinely good coverage for a country this mountainous. Tbilisi, Batumi and the main tourist routes are well covered. The mountains (Svaneti, Tusheti, high Kazbegi passes) are where signal drops, sometimes completely. A travel eSIM lands you connected instantly; a local Magti SIM gives the best mountain reach for serious trekking.
How much data for Georgia
What to expect by trip type.
| Itinerary | Days | Data needed |
|---|---|---|
| Tbilisi and Kakheti wine country | 7 | 6GB |
| Tbilisi, Batumi and Kazbegi | 10 | 8GB |
| Mountain trekking (Svaneti, Kazbegi) | 12 | 6GB |
The verdict
Our eSIM wins when: you want to land in Tbilisi connected without a counter visit for a city and wine-country trip where 4G coverage is excellent.
A local SIM wins when: you go into the mountains, where a local Magti SIM gives the best reach and very cheap data. For Svaneti or high-altitude trekking, Magti holds signal longest.
On the competition: 5G is Tbilisi-only and pilot-stage. What matters is 4G coverage on your route, and that means Magti for mountain reach or Silknet for a convenient tourist pack. For deep mountain trails, plan for offline maps regardless.
Bottom line: For Tbilisi, Batumi and the main tourist circuit, a travel eSIM or Silknet tourist pack is the easy pick. For serious mountain travel in Svaneti or Tusheti, a local Magti SIM gives the best reach, and even then carry offline maps.
Georgia eSIM FAQ
Is there 5G in Georgia in 2026?
Only as a pilot. Magti has 5G in select areas of Tbilisi (Saburtalo and Vake) at 150 to 300 Mbps. Everywhere else you use 4G, which is solid at around 28 Mbps median nationwide.
Will I have signal in the Georgian mountains?
In towns yes, on trails often not. Mestia has 4G in the town center; coverage between Mestia and Ushguli is unreliable. Tusheti is largely offline. High Kazbegi passes are intermittent. Magti holds signal best, but download offline maps before any trek.
Which network is best for tourists in Georgia?
Magti for the widest coverage including mountain regions and the only 5G pilot in Tbilisi. Silknet for a convenient tourist pack you can buy online without an in-store visit.
Is a local SIM cheap in Georgia?
Yes, very. A Magti SIM costs around 3.65 USD and Silknet tourist packs start at around 5.55 USD for 4GB. Much cheaper than travel eSIMs, but a travel eSIM saves the in-store visit.
