eSIM vs local SIM vs roaming in Colombia
| LinkPaLS eSIM | Local SIM card | Home roaming | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Set up | At home, before you fly | On arrival, at a shop or kiosk | Already on |
| ID needed | None | Usually a passport | None |
| Your home number | Stays on | Removed while the SIM is out | Stays on |
| Cost | Paid once | Low, but only after arrival | Often the most expensive |
| Best for | Most travelers | Long stays with a local number | Very short emergency use |
For most trips to Colombia, an eSIM gives you the best of both: local data prices without losing your number, and no time spent finding a SIM shop after a long flight.
