Best SIM card or eSIM option for internet in Batumi, Georgia

Foreign SIM cards get their data traffic blocked in Georgia, so it's better to get a local internet plan right away — everything works without workarounds like VPN.

One traveler was looking for a one-day VPN via someone else's server, but according to others this isn't necessary if you get a local SIM.

The UNISIM app provides internet coverage across Georgia at a lower price than Magti, even though it runs on Magti's own towers.

A common question for new arrivals: whether it's better to activate an unlimited plan on arrival or buy an eSIM in advance.

With Magti's "Cocktail" plan you can share your phone's internet hotspot with another device (e.g. a spouse's phone) without issues while walking around the city.

Foreign bank cards generally work fine in Georgia, so if your phone supports eSIM you can buy one in advance and pay for a data package online.

Upon arrival in Batumi you can activate Magti's month-long unlimited data plan, which works reliably all across Georgia.
