Where can you buy a SIM card in Georgia, and how much does it cost?

Operators, tourist plans, eSIM and what you need to buy one.

Short answer

SIM cards in Georgia are sold at the shops of the three operators, Magti, Silknet and Cellfie, including at Tbilisi, Kutaisi and Batumi airports. The card itself costs a few lari, and a tourist data package usually costs 15-35 GEL depending on duration and allowance. You need your passport to buy one, and the operators also offer eSIMs.

Why

  1. Georgia has three mobile operators: Magti, Silknet and Cellfie (formerly Beeline).
  2. The SIM is registered to the buyer, so you will be asked for your passport.
  3. Operators change their plans often; current prices are always on their websites.

Details

The airport has the same choice as the city, but queues and prices can differ between neighbouring kiosks, so compare two or three offers. If your phone supports eSIM, you can get one online before you arrive using a photo of your passport. Magti usually has the best coverage in the mountains.

Tip

Get a package with enough data for navigation: maps and taxi apps use more data than you expect.
