eSIM for Venezuela

Not right now. We do not sell a Venezuela plan, and none of our regional plans include the country, so no plan on this site will give you data there.

Check your government's current travel advice before planning a trip. If you do go, treat mobile data as a useful tool rather than a guarantee.

Venezuela has three mobile operators: Movilnet, a subsidiary of the state run CANTV, plus Movistar and Digitel. We do not sell a plan on any of them at the moment.

Some of the best known sights are remote. Angel Falls is in Canaima National Park, and reaching Canaima camp takes a flight from Maiquetia, Puerto Ordaz or Ciudad Bolivar, then a river trip to the falls. Save maps, bookings and contacts before you fly in.

Venezuela has had repeated nationwide blackouts, and mobile networks need power at the mast as well as at your hotel. During the July 2019 blackout, NetBlocks measured only 6% of the country's telecoms still working, so a signal can disappear for reasons that have nothing to do with your phone.

Keep devices charged whenever power is available, carry a power bank, and keep offline copies of maps, addresses and documents.

While we have no plan for Venezuela, a local prepaid line from Movilnet, Movistar or Digitel is one way to get mobile data there. Roaming on your home SIM is the other. Buy a local line from an official shop, and ask what they need from a foreign visitor before you queue.

Before you rely on roaming, ask your own provider whether it covers Venezuela and what it charges there per day or per megabyte.

Whatever you use for data in Venezuela, plan as if it will drop at times.

Download offline maps for every area you plan to visit, plus your accommodation details and any confirmation documents. Do it on WiFi before you leave home.
