Quick answer
A travel eSIM is the easiest option: install it at home and you're online when you land in Tbilisi or Batumi. Local SIM cards are also available after arrival, and Wi-Fi is common in cafés and hotels.
| Option | Good | Less good |
|---|---|---|
| Travel eSIM | Ready on landing, keep your SIM in | Phone must support eSIM |
| Local SIM | Local number | Buy after arrival, swap SIM cards |
| Wi-Fi only | Free | No maps or taxis between cafés |
Coverage
Signal is reliable in Tbilisi, Batumi, Kutaisi and along main roads. In mountain regions like Svaneti, Kazbegi and Tusheti, expect gaps.
Tips
- Download offline maps of the mountain areas.
- Ride-hailing apps are handy in Tbilisi — they need data.
- Visiting Armenia too? Buy one eSIM per country and switch between them.
