Which eSIM is best for mobile data in Tbilisi and mountain trips in Georgia, including for a late-night airport arrival?

For trips from Tbilisi into the mountains, Magti is generally the most practical choice because it usually has the strongest coverage outside the city. A local eSIM is issued with a passport at an official Magti store; confirm that your phone supports eSIM and is carrier-unlocked first.

If you need data immediately after a late-night arrival in Tbilisi, do not rely on being able to arrange a local SIM overnight: install an international travel eSIM for the first hours, then switch to a Magti, Silknet, or Cellfie plan at an official shop during the day. This is especially useful when your group leaves for the mountains shortly after landing.

Getting an eSIM in Georgia works much like buying a physical local SIM: bring your passport, then scan the QR code provided by the operator in your phone settings. For a short trip, compare data packages from Magti, Silknet, and Cellfie, but for the Georgian Military Road and mountain regions, coverage is usually more important than the lowest price.
