Yes! You may install the Dominican Republic eSIM up to 30 days before you travel. It won’t connect or start using data until you arrive.
Early installation ensures you’re ready on arrival, and it won’t drain your plan until you’re in Dominican Republic.
If you encounter an activation message on iPhone before landing, it’s usually safe to ignore - see our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide for more info.
No - our Dominican Republic travel eSIMs are data-only, so they don’t come with a voice line or phone number. Any calls or texts must go through internet apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, or Viber.

Good question! Opting for a travel eSIM instead of roaming in Dominican Republic offers clear advantages:
Lower Costs: Say goodbye to outrageous roaming bills by switching to a local travel package designed for Dominican Republic.
Seamless Switching: Change between data plans without fumbling with physical SIM cards - perfect for spontaneous travellers.
Budget Control: Track data usage in real time and avoid surprise charges or overages.

If you encounter connection issues, see our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide or contact support.
Yes - ZenSim’s eSIMs work in 200+ destinations, and Dominican Republic is included. For travellers needing multiple-country access, we offer regional eSIMs. You can find those on our Travel eSIMs page.
Signal & Connectivity: If you’re stuck without data, follow our detailed troubleshooting guide. If issues persist, contact support and we’ll fix it promptly.
Install Assistance: For help installing, consult our installation walkthrough. Still need help? Reach out and we’ll guide you step by step.
Other Support Requests: For anything else, head to our contact page.
Yes, you can. Around 99 percent of our eSIMs allow quick and easy top ups through the ZenSim app. You can add more data, increase the days, or even include a different destination on the same eSIM right from the Zen Garden.
Open the app, go to the Zen Garden area, and you’ll see the top up button waiting for you.
Top up pricing: Dominican Republic top up plans follow the same pricing as on the website, minus a 10% discount.
Travelling for a while: If your trip lasts more than 30 days, you can queue multiple top ups. None of them will interrupt your current plan because each one only activates when the previous eSIM expires.
Travelling to more destinations: Most eSIMs let you attach extra countries via a top up. For example, if you're heading home from Europe and stopping in Singapore, you can add Singapore to your Europe eSIM and it will switch on once you arrive.
Your Dominican Republic eSIM is designed for use within Dominican Republic, so once it's been activated there, it won’t work in other countries.
If you're visiting multiple destinations, a better option might be one of our regional Travel eSIMs that cover entire regions like Europe or Asia.
You bet there is! Once you purchase an Dominican Republic eSIM you will be able to access your unique referral URL which you can share with your travel buds.
If they click the URL and purchase a plan they will save A$5 on their order and you will receive a A$5 voucher on your account which will be automatically applied on your next purchase (provided they are a new customer of course).
You can track your referrals and access your referral URL in the ZenSim app. Check out our terms for more info.
It might, but only if you're on an unlimited plan and only after you pass 3GB in a single day - which is well above what most people actually use (under 1GB a day on average).
Once you hit that 3GB mark, your speed drops to 1Mbps until midnight, then resets back to full speed for the new day.
If you're on a fixed-data plan like 10GB or 20GB, none of this applies - there's no daily limit, just use your data as needed until the plan runs out. We'll notify you beforehand, and you can top up right away in the ZenSim app.
Your days and data don't start counting down the second you buy the eSIM - they only kick in once you actually land in Dominican Republic, so feel free to install it well ahead of your trip.
As long as it's already installed, it'll auto-activate the moment you arrive, and that's when the clock starts on your plan.
As for when it ends - your plan runs until either your data or your days are used up, whichever happens first (unless you're unlimited, in which case it's just the days that matter). A 30-day plan means it ends 30 days from your arrival in Dominican Republic, not 30 days from your purchase date.
Simplest way is to pop your phone into our eSIM compatibility checker - it'll tell you straight away whether it's good to go with our Dominican Republic eSIM and the networks behind it.
If you're still unsure after that, get in touch with us and we'll help you figure it out. And just in case your phone isn't compatible after all, our refund policy means you'll get a full refund - so go ahead and grab a plan without the worry.
Absolutely - that's exactly what our 100% money back guarantee is there for.
Whether your trip gets cancelled, your phone turns out not to be eSIM-compatible, or your plans just change and you can't use it anymore, you're covered.
All the details live in our refund policy, but the short version is simple: if you can't install or use the eSIM, we'll refund you in full. Nobody should pay for a plan they can't use.
