eSIM for Georgia
Georgia packs a capital, a Black Sea resort and the high Caucasus into a small country, and mobile coverage changes sharply between them. A ScarabPay eSIM works on Magti, Beeline and Geocell, with 4G on all three and 5G on Geocell where available. Install it by QR code and skip the passport registration at the airport.

Mobile internet in Georgia: what travellers should know
In Tbilisi, Batumi, Kutaisi and along the main east-west highway, Magti, Beeline and Geocell provide solid 4G, and Geocell adds 5G in some urban areas. The picture changes in the mountains. Kazbegi and the Georgian Military Road have coverage in villages but gaps on high passes, while remote regions such as Svaneti, Tusheti and Racha can be patchy. Wine villages in Kakheti are usually fine near towns.
Local SIM cards in Georgia must be registered with a passport, and the counters at Tbilisi and Kutaisi airports can be busy when several flights land together. Free Wi-Fi is common in hotels, guesthouses, cafes and restaurants in the cities. Ride-hailing apps such as Bolt are popular in Tbilisi and Batumi, and a translation app with camera mode helps a lot, since signs and menus outside the centre are often only in Georgian script.
Put the eSIM on your phone at home over Wi-Fi, then activate it when you arrive and allow data roaming for that line only. Keep your home SIM switched on for bank SMS codes, with its data off. A long weekend in Tbilisi needs only a small plan; a two-week trip combining Batumi with hiking in Svaneti needs more, plus offline maps. If data runs out, top up online.
Quick tips for Georgia
- Download offline maps and hiking routes before driving to Mestia or Ushguli; mountain valleys can lose signal for long stretches.
- Install a translation app with camera support to read Georgian-script menus, signs and marshrutka destination boards.
- Order rides through an app in Tbilisi instead of street taxis, so the fare is agreed before the trip.
- Guesthouses in the mountains often have Wi-Fi even where mobile signal is weak, so save large downloads for the evening.
- Crossing into Armenia or Turkey by road? This plan covers Georgia only; pick a regional plan for multi-country trips.
Frequently asked questions
Will the eSIM work in Kazbegi, Svaneti and other mountain areas?
In villages such as Stepantsminda and Mestia you can usually get 4G from Magti, Beeline or Geocell. On high passes, glacier trails and remote valleys like Tusheti, coverage is often weak or absent. Treat the eSIM as a town connection there, and carry offline maps and a saved copy of your route.
Is 5G available in Georgia with this eSIM?
Only on Geocell, and only in some urban areas. Magti and Beeline connect on 4G, which is more than enough for maps, messaging, ride-hailing and video calls. Most travellers will spend much of their time on 4G, especially outside Tbilisi and Batumi, and should not plan around 5G.
Do I need to register my passport to use this eSIM in Georgia?
Local Georgian SIM cards require passport registration at the point of sale. This eSIM is bought online and installed by QR code before you travel, so there is no SIM counter visit on arrival. Your passport is still needed for border control and hotel check-in.
How do I activate my Georgia eSIM?
After you pay, open the QR code in your ScarabPay account and scan it in your phone settings. The Georgia data plan installs in a minute or two, and you can turn it on when you arrive.
When should I install the eSIM?
You can install it before your trip and switch it on once you reach Georgia. The validity period starts when the plan first connects to a network, not when you install it.
Can I keep my own number in Georgia?
Yes. The Georgia eSIM handles mobile data while your regular SIM stays active for your usual number, so you can still receive calls and texts.
What if I run out of data in Georgia?
Simply buy another Georgia plan from your ScarabPay account. You can top up as many times as you need, paying from your wallet or with crypto each time.
Do I need a ScarabPay account?
Yes. You buy and manage your Georgia eSIM from your ScarabPay account, which also gives you one place for your wallet, cards and payments. Creating an account takes only a few minutes.
Ready for your next trip?
Get online in Georgia the moment you arrive. Choose a data plan, pay from your ScarabPay wallet or with crypto, and receive your QR code instantly, no physical SIM and no roaming bills.
