Tbilisi and Batumi strong; mountain regions variable.
Georgia punches above its size for mobile coverage. The nationwide 4G network covers Tbilisi, Batumi, Kutaisi and main highways reliably, with a median download speed of around 28 Mbps. Magti leads coverage including in rural areas and has a pilot 5G network in parts of Tbilisi at 150 to 300 Mbps. For travellers, 4G is what you use almost everywhere. The mountains are the exception: Mestia has 4G in town but coverage fails on most mountain trails; Tusheti is largely offline; high Kazbegi passes have intermittent signal. Download offline maps before any mountain trek.
Typical local SIM: $Cheap: SIMs from around 3.65 to 5.55 USD including data. Local prices undercut travel eSIMs.. Usually sold at 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.. 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.
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.
The leading operator with the widest coverage including rural areas, and the only one with a pilot 5G network in parts of Tbilisi (Saburtalo and Vake), delivering 150 to 300 Mbps where available. Holds signal best in mountain regions. The safest all-round choice.
Strong city coverage and good tourist SIM options. No 5G yet. Tourist packs are well-priced and the eSIM can be purchased and activated online, unlike Magti's in-store requirement.
Decent urban coverage at budget prices but no 5G and weaker rural reach than Magti. Fine for Tbilisi and Batumi stays.
you want to land in Tbilisi connected without a counter visit for a city and wine-country trip where 4G coverage is excellent.
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.
