According to the chat, both Magti and Silknet offer tourist SIM packages for 7 or 15 days, and their network quality is considered similar. A Magti option mentioned was 15 GEL for 5,000 MB valid for 15 days, but the chat did not confirm whether the SIM itself is included, whether it is sold at the airport, or how much more airport pricing may be.
What the community said
Based on the discussion, Magti and Silknet branches are not always located directly inside the Old Town area, so you may need to go outside the historic center to buy a SIM. No exact airport markup versus city pricing was confirmed in the chat.
