The cheapest option for a SIM with unlimited (or large) data plus calls is Magti or Beeline at their shops in central Batumi — tourist tariffs start around 10-15 GEL, with a monthly data package usually 20-25 GEL.

To keep your Georgian number after leaving, you can set up recurring auto-billing from a linked card with Magti or Geocell — a small amount gets charged periodically so the number won't be blocked for inactivity (which usually happens after several months without a top-up).

For a Georgian eSIM, Magti is the operator most often mentioned — you can activate it online or at an operator office, which is convenient if you'd rather not hunt for a physical SIM card on arrival.
