The short answer

Six travel eSIMs sell a Dominican Republic plan and get most of the traffic for this search. I priced all six on the same day, for a long weekend in Punta Cana, two weeks between Santo Domingo, Samaná and the north coast, and a month, and I read the fine print on unlimited. Here is where each one wins, including the rows where Ringo Light loses.

OUR PICK
Cheapest unlimited week, two weeks and month, at full speed

Unlimited data at full speed for 7 days at $19.99, 2 weeks at $32.99 or 30 days at $56.99, nothing renews. A week at $19.99 is under Nomad ($27), Ubigi ($34), Airalo ($37) and Holafly ($39.50). Nomad asks $41 for 15 days at 2 GB a day, then 1 Mbps; Ubigi $53 for 15 days with 30 GB at full speed, Airalo $60. For a month Ringo Light's $56.99 is under Saily's Global plan ($59.99), Ubigi ($69), Airalo and Holafly.

Ubigi
Cheapest 10 GB and a big month at full speed

10 GB for 30 days at $21, 25 GB at $39, and 60 GB at full speed for 30 days at $69, then 2 Mbps. On Altice.

Nomad

Unlimited 3 days at $13, 7 days at $27 and 15 days at $41, each 2 GB a day, then 1 Mbps, and 20 GB for 30 days at $31, on Claro, the network the other brands here do not use. No 30-day unlimited.

Airalo

What to do in the Dominican Republic, and what your phone needs for it

Eight places most first trips include, from the old city of Santo Domingo and the Punta Cana beaches to Samaná, the mountains and the north coast, with the one thing your data does for you at each. The towns and resorts have good 4G; the boats, parks and mountain roads often do not.

The Zona Colonial, Santo Domingo
Santo DomingoThe Zona ColonialThe old Spanish city, a UNESCO World Heritage site, with the oldest cathedral in the Americas on Parque Colón. Walk it in the morning before the heat.✓Uber works in Santo Domingo and is the easy way between the old city, the Malecón and the airport.
Bávaro beach, Punta Cana
Punta CanaBávaro beachMiles of white sand and palms on the east coast, lined with resorts. Most trips land at Punta Cana airport and spend a few days here.✓Resort Wi-Fi often stops at the lobby and the pool. Your own data keeps working on the sand.
Saona Island, Parque Nacional del Este, off Bayahíbe
Parque Nacional del Este, off BayahíbeSaona IslandA flat island of palms and shallow turquoise water inside a national park, reached by boat on a day trip from Bayahíbe or the Punta Cana resorts.✓Signal on the boat and the far beaches comes and goes. Save your tour booking and pickup point offline.
Altos de Chavón, La Romana
La RomanaAltos de ChavónA stone village built in the style of a 16th century Mediterranean town above the Chavón River, with a church, an amphitheatre and craft shops.✓Camera translation reads the Spanish signs and menus in the small places here and in La Romana.
Los Haitises National Park, Samaná Bay
Samaná BayLos Haitises National ParkLimestone islands covered in forest, mangrove channels and caves with Taíno drawings, seen by boat across the bay from Samaná or Sabana de la Mar.✓Coverage is weak inside the park. Download the map and your boat details before you leave the dock.
Salto El Limón, El Limón, Samaná Peninsula
El Limón, Samaná PeninsulaSalto El LimónA tall waterfall in the hills of the Samaná Peninsula, reached on a trail on foot or on horseback from the village of El Limón, with a pool to swim in at the bottom.✓Carry pesos in cash for the guides and the horses, and save the trail offline: signal drops on the way down.
Salto de Jimenoa, Jarabacoa, Cordillera Central
Jarabacoa, Cordillera CentralSalto de JimenoaA waterfall in a gorge outside Jarabacoa, the mountain town people use for rafting, hiking and cooler air. A change from the beaches.✓The mountain roads have long gaps in coverage. Download the offline map for the whole Cordillera before you drive up.
Fortaleza San Felipe, Puerto Plata
Puerto PlataFortaleza San FelipeA 16th century Spanish fort on the waterfront of Puerto Plata, the main town of the north coast, with the cable car up Isabel de Torres close by.✓Check the weather on your phone before the cable car: the summit of Isabel de Torres is often in cloud.

If you want unlimited for two weeks or a month: Ringo Light

I assume most people fly into Punta Cana or Santo Domingo and stay a week or two, often with a day on Saona or a few nights in Samaná. For about two weeks of unlimited, Airalo asks $60, Holafly $63.50 and Ubigi $53 for 30 GB at full speed. Saily lists no Dominican Republic unlimited at all. Nomad asks $41 for 15 days, but it gives 2 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps. Ringo Light charges $32.99 for 2 weeks of unlimited at full speed, nothing renews, $8.01 under Nomad and $20.01 under Ubigi, the next cheapest at full speed. For two weeks at full speed, that is the plan I would buy.

For a month Ringo Light is the cheapest. I count its 30 days at $56.99. Saily's Global plan gives 30 GB at full speed for 30 days at $59.99, then 1 Mbps, and Ubigi gives 60 GB at full speed at $69, then 2 Mbps. Nomad sells no 30-day unlimited, only a 50 GB bucket for $65. Airalo asks $97 and Holafly $101.90.

I would read what unlimited means before picking. Airalo gives 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps, and Nomad 2 GB a day, then 1 Mbps. Ubigi and Saily's Global plan give a fixed amount, then slow you. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone and limits sharing to 1 GB a day. Ringo Light is unlimited data at full speed for the whole 2 weeks or 30 days.

For a short trip, Ringo Light sells no 3-day plan, and for 3 days Nomad is cheapest at $13, with 2 GB a day, then 1 Mbps, then Airalo at $18.50 and Holafly at $19.90. Its 7 days of unlimited at full speed is $19.99, only $1.49 over Airalo's 3 days. For a week Ringo Light is the cheapest: $7.01 under Nomad at $27, $14.01 under Ubigi at $34 (20 GB at full speed) and $17.01 under Airalo at $37.

Which network works best in the Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic has two big networks, Claro and Altice, and a smaller one, Viva. Claro and Altice both cover Santo Domingo, Santiago, Punta Cana, Bávaro and the north coast towns. Airalo, Holafly and Ubigi all ride Altice. Nomad is the one brand in this table on Claro, so it is the one I would pick if you already know Altice is weak where you are staying.

Signal thins out away from the towns. Holafly's own page names the Cordillera Central, Los Haitises, the Samaná Peninsula and the Sierra de Bahoruco as places where coverage can be weaker. I would download offline maps before you drive into the mountains or take a boat, whichever eSIM you buy.

If you want a data bucket: Ubigi or Nomad

  • Ubigi, $21 for 10 GB. The cheapest 10 GB, and 25 GB for 30 days at $39. On Altice, installed by QR code.
  • Nomad, $27 for 10 GB. The cheapest 20 GB at $31, and 50 GB for 30 days at $65. On Claro.
  • Airalo, $37 for 10 GB. Its Acuntel plan, 20 GB for $49.
  • Saily, $37.99 for 10 GB. No 20 GB for the country on its listing, dated 5 October.
  • ✓Ringo Light, no buckets. Its 2 weeks is unlimited for $32.99 and its 30 days unlimited for $56.99. For a fixed amount of data over a month, Ubigi and Nomad are cheaper in the Dominican Republic: Ubigi 10 GB at $21 is $11.99 under its 2 weeks, and Nomad 20 GB at $31 is $25.99 under its 30 days. I would buy Ringo Light for two weeks of unlimited, not for a bucket.

What Ringo Light is

Ringo Light is Ringo's own data eSIM, sold to fund the full Ringo, one plan that works everywhere with your own number ported onto it. For the Dominican Republic it sells three trips, all unlimited data at full speed with no speed cap: 7 days at $19.99, 2 weeks at $32.99 and 30 days at $56.99. Nothing renews. The eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan, no app.

In the Dominican Republic Nomad sells 15 days at $41, with 2 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps, which is $8.01 over Ringo Light's 2 weeks at full speed. Ringo Light is the cheapest month as well: $3 under Saily's Global plan at $59.99 and $12.01 under Ubigi at $69, both with a fixed amount at full speed. I put the card to buy it further up this page, just after the side-by-side table.

Is an unlimited eSIM really unlimited in the Dominican Republic?+

Will my eSIM work in Samaná, Los Haitises and the mountains?+

How we compared, and our sources

Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi, Ringo Light

We priced Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Dominican Republic on 31 October 2026, all on the same day, in US dollars. Each rival's price comes from its own website where it showed dollars, otherwise from an esimdb.com listing, and every source and its date is listed below. Ringo Light's prices come from the catalogue our checkout charges.

We compare the trips people actually book: a week, two weeks and a month of unlimited data, and a 10 GB bucket. We read each brand's fair use and speed rules and quote them as the brands state them. We did not run speed tests, so this page makes no speed claims for any brand.

Ringo Light is our own product. We put it in the table on the same terms as everyone else, and where a rival is the better buy the page says so.

Left out: Maya Mobile. We could not read its own prices for this country on the day, so it stays out rather than being guessed.

Written and priced by the Ringo team. Prices change often; if you spot one that has moved, tell us through the contact page and we will update the table.
