Galaxy S20 in Colombia

Common questions.

Yes. Galaxy S20 ships with eSIM hardware, and travel.to routes it onto Claro CO, Movistar CO, and Tigo in Colombia. The line activates the moment you land — install takes under two minutes and is fully refundable if it fails to activate.
Yes. Galaxy S20 supports dual SIM worldwide, so your home SIM stays in the tray and travel.to installs alongside it as a second line. No swapping, no removing your primary number.
On Galaxy S20 open Settings → Network & internet → SIMs (Samsung calls it SIM card manager under Connections), tap Add SIM, choose "Download a SIM instead", and scan the QR from your travel.to email — 6 taps total.
Under two minutes. The QR arrives by email seconds after payment; 6 taps later the profile is installed on Galaxy S20. It stays dormant until you reach a partner network in Colombia (UTC−5 year-round) — usually the instant you land, before you have changed your clock.
In Colombia we route on Claro CO, Movistar CO, and Tigo. Galaxy S20 hands off automatically to whichever has the strongest signal where you are — you do not pick the carrier, the phone does.
45 – 110 Mbps urban · 62 ms RTT. Galaxy S20 negotiates the fastest band the local network offers, so in covered areas you get the same speeds a native SIM would pull on the same carrier.
Default home-carrier roaming in Colombia runs about $18 – 32 per GB. A travel.to plan for Colombia sits an order of magnitude below that, and you never get a surprise bill — you pay once, up front, for the data you chose.
No need. The airport SIM kiosks in Colombia keep limited hours (Bogotá BOG · 24h · Medellín MDE daytime) and you would queue at them with the rest of your flight. Install the travel.to eSIM on Galaxy S20 before you board and you walk straight past them, already online.
Three carriers per region · auto-failover below signal threshold Galaxy S20 falls back automatically — you never have to switch networks by hand.
Yes. Top-ups reuse the Colombia eSIM profile already on Galaxy S20 — no new QR scan, no second install. Same line, fresh data, added from your Colombia order page in one tap.
Full refund if the Colombia eSIM fails to activate on Galaxy S20. Half refund if it activates but underperforms on Claro CO, Movistar CO, and Tigo (and if you used under 500 MB, you get the full amount). One click from your dashboard — no email thread.
A few Galaxy S20-specific notes: The S20 was the first Galaxy S line with eSIM, but only on select regional models — many 2020 units (incl. some US carrier variants) shipped eSIM-disabled. Where supported, it's one physical + one eSIM (DSDS), not two eSIMs. Update One UI to the latest before activating to avoid the original firmware's eSIM bug. Beyond that, the travel.to install flow in Colombia is the standard Android path.
