Field tip — Georgia is not EU — roaming charges apply

Georgia is not an EU member (it is an EU candidate country since 2023). EU RLAH does not apply. Most EU carriers charge daily roaming fees for Georgia. A travel eSIM is almost always cheaper. Georgia uses Georgian Lari (GEL). Cards are accepted in Tbilisi, Batumi and major restaurants; cash is useful in rural areas, village guesthouses and markets.

Field tip — Download offline maps for Kazbegi, Svaneti and Tusheti before leaving towns — signal disappears above valleys

Tbilisi and Batumi have excellent 4G. Along the Georgian Military Road to Kazbegi (Stepantsminda), signal is intermittent from Gudauri onwards. The Svaneti region (Mestia, Ushguli) has limited signal in the valleys and none on higher trails. Tusheti (reached via Abano Pass) has almost no signal. Download offline maps and route information in town before any mountain excursion. Organic Maps is recommended for Georgian hiking trails.

Network coverage in Georgia

Three operators serve Georgia: Magti (dominant, widest national footprint), Silknet (formerly Geocell) and Cellfie (formerly Beeline). In Tbilisi, Batumi and Kutaisi, all three provide reliable 4G. Coverage drops significantly in high-altitude zones — Svaneti, Tusheti and the Greater Caucasus backcountry have sparse or no signal. For mountain itineraries, see the field tip above.

5G is now live across major cities and resorts (Tbilisi, Batumi, Kutaisi) — Magti has the widest 5G footprint, reaching much of the country, while Silknet and Cellfie focus on urban zones. Travel eSIMs on this page route via one of the three operators — check the carrier listed on each provider card. Magti-routed options give the best coverage for Kazbegi, Svaneti or Tusheti itineraries. Cellfie has the weakest rural footprint of the three operators.

Arrival protocol in Georgia

Before departure from home
Check your phone supports eSIM — dial *#06#, look for an EID number.
Install the eSIM before your flight — activation may require connectivity that is no longer available abroad.
Save the QR code and setup instructions offline (screenshots or PDF).
Download offline maps for your destinations before you leave.
After landing in Georgia
Go to Settings → Mobile data → select the eSIM as your data line.
Turn off data roaming on your home SIM to avoid background charges.
Test with a page load. If nothing loads, toggle airplane mode for 30 seconds and try again before deleting the profile.

VPN, passwords and documents

On hotel or café Wi-Fi, a VPN can be useful to keep your browsing private from the network operator. A password manager is also worth having for managing account access on the road. A secure cloud backup of your passport, visa, insurance and accommodation details can also be useful — keep an offline copy too. None of these are mandatory.

Mistakes to avoid in Georgia

Leaving data roaming on your home SIM. Background apps will generate charges.
Deleting the eSIM if it does not connect immediately. Check settings first.
Installing the eSIM after arrival. Activation may require connectivity that is no longer available abroad.
