You can choose between two ways to buy: data packages, with a pool of gigabytes to use at your own pace and a validity of 7 to 30 days depending on the package, or unlimited data plans by the day, designed for short trips where you do not want to keep an eye on your usage.

Frequently asked questions about the Punta Cana eSIM
How much does an eSIM for Punta Cana cost?
From $9.90 for 3 GB over 7 days, enough for maps and messaging on a short break. Unlimited data plans go from $12.90 for 3 days to $60.90 for 20 days, with 2 GB a day at full speed. You pay once at checkout, with no contracts and no hidden fees.
Does the Punta Cana eSIM work in the rest of the Dominican Republic?
Yes. It is the same eSIM for the Dominican Republic, with the same 4G coverage in the rest of the country: it works just the same in Bávaro, Cap Cana, Santo Domingo or Samaná. Install it by scanning a QR code before you fly and land in Punta Cana with the internet already working.
What is the best eSIM for Punta Cana?
The Gigapanda eSIM for Punta Cana gives you unlimited data with 4G/5G coverage on the country’s main networks, installation in minutes with a QR code, and support in Spanish and English around the clock. You pay once, with no contracts and no surprises. Unlike traditional roaming, you know exactly how much you’re spending before you take off.
Which devices are compatible with eSIM?
Every iPhone from the XS and XR onwards has eSIM. On Android it depends on the exact model: look it up in our list of compatible models, and it only counts if it appears exactly as is, variant included. A Pro or Plus having eSIM does not mean the regular model has it: the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ has it and the Redmi Note 13 does not. Your phone also needs to be unlocked (no carrier lock).
Check it in 10 seconds: dial *#06# on your phone. If an EID code appears, your phone supports eSIM.
One warning that saves surprises: phones bought in mainland China or Hong Kong usually ship without eSIM, even when the same model sold elsewhere has it.
Do I need to remove my physical SIM to use an eSIM?
No. The eSIM installs as an additional line: your physical SIM stays in your phone and you keep your usual number. Just remember to turn off data roaming on your regular line while you travel, so you don’t get surprise charges while you browse with Gigapanda.
Will I lose my WhatsApp number when using the eSIM?
No, you keep your WhatsApp exactly as it is. Your account stays linked to your usual number (the one from your physical SIM) and the Gigapanda eSIM only provides data. Chats, calls, and video calls work perfectly normally, with nothing to reconfigure.
How many GB do I need for my trip to Punta Cana?
For a typical trip to Punta Cana, 1 to 2 GB a day covers maps, WhatsApp, social media, and searches. If you also upload videos and make video calls every day, plan on around 3 GB a day. With Gigapanda’s unlimited plans you don’t need to calculate anything: you use whatever your trip calls for, every day.
Does the eSIM include calls or only data?
Our eSIMs are data-only: they don’t include a local phone number or traditional calls. You can make and receive calls with no problem through WhatsApp, FaceTime, Telegram, or any app that uses the internet, which is how most travelers call today, and it completely avoids roaming charges.
Can I install the eSIM before I travel?
Yes, and it’s what we recommend: install it over a stable Wi-Fi connection before you leave home. Installing it doesn’t use up your plan. The days and data only start counting with your first use, usually when you connect at your destination. That way you land with the internet ready from the very first minute.
When does my plan start counting?
Your plan starts with the first data usage: when the eSIM connects to the network at your destination and you begin browsing. Installing it before your trip doesn’t use up days or data, so you can get it ready at home with plenty of time and turn on data roaming only once you land.
How do I install and activate a Gigapanda eSIM?
In under 5 minutes: when you complete your purchase, you receive a QR code by email. Scan it from your phone’s settings (with Wi-Fi) and the eSIM is installed. When you arrive at your destination, turn on data roaming for the Gigapanda line and you’re set. Start browsing. Along with your QR code, we send you the step-by-step guide for iPhone and Android.
Can I share internet (hotspot) with my eSIM?
No. Our plans don’t include sharing internet with other devices (hotspot or tethering): the eSIM is for the phone where you install it. Also, some iPhones don’t let you share data from an eSIM without a phone number, like ours. Traveling as a group? The best option is for each traveler to bring their own eSIM: everyone browses at full speed.
What speed will I get with the eSIM in Punta Cana?
In Punta Cana you browse on the local 4G/5G networks, the same coverage the locals use. The actual speed depends on the area and the network at each spot, but it’s more than enough for maps, video calls, and streaming. Our eSIM connects automatically to the best available network.
Is unlimited data really unlimited?
Yes: you browse every day of your plan with no cutoffs and no extra charges. To keep the network fast for everyone, each day you get an amount of data at full speed (shown in your plan); if you go over it, you stay connected at reduced speed, and the next day you automatically get full speed back. No surprises on your bill, ever.
What happens if I run out of data or my plan expires?
You buy a new plan at gigapanda.com in a minute and get your QR code instantly by email, wherever you are. You just need a Wi-Fi connection to install it. A tip: don’t delete the eSIM from your phone until your trip is over, because each QR code can only be used once.
What if something goes wrong? Do you offer support and refunds?
Yes. You have support in Spanish and English every day on WhatsApp, through the chat on our website and by email (help@gigapanda.com). If something goes wrong, write to us the moment it happens: we run the diagnosis together and, if the issue is attributable to Gigapanda, we replace your eSIM or refund your money.
Keep in mind that refunds don’t apply to purchase mistakes (for example, choosing the wrong destination or an incompatible phone). That’s why we recommend checking compatibility before you buy: dial *#06# and confirm that an EID code appears. You can read the full policy in our Terms and Conditions.
