❌ Myth: You need a local physical SIM to get good coverage in the Dominican Republic.
✅ Fact: Not true. eSIMs from Roami connect to the same local networks (Claro, Altice, Viva) as physical SIMs. You get identical coverage and speeds without needing to hunt for a store.
❌ Myth: The Dominican Republic has poor mobile coverage outside resort areas.
✅ Fact: While rural coverage is weaker than in cities, Claro’s network covers most highways, towns, and tourist attractions. You’ll have signal in Samaná, Punta Cana, and even some mountain areas.
❌ Myth: All eSIMs for the Dominican Republic are the same.
✅ Fact: No. Different eSIM providers use different local operators. Roami offers plans on Claro, Altice, and Viva, so you can choose the best network for your itinerary.
❌ Myth: You need to register your phone’s IMEI with the government to use an eSIM.
✅ Fact: Roami handles all IMEI registration for you. Your eSIM is pre-registered with INDOTEL, so you won’t face any blocks or fines.
❌ Myth: eSIMs drain your battery faster than physical SIMs.
✅ Fact: Modern smartphones manage eSIM power efficiently. The difference in battery drain between eSIM and physical SIM is negligible. Your battery life depends more on signal strength and usage.
