Quick Answer

Buy a Magti SIM at Tbilisi Airport arrivals — passport only, active within minutes. Airalo eSIM for pre-arrival data. Monthly data plans: 50GB for ₾15–20 ($5.50–7.40).

Networks

Magti — best overall. Strong 4G/LTE, fast speeds, best English support. Recommended.

Geocell/Silknet — comparable in Tbilisi. Good value plans.

Beeline Georgia — lower coverage density. Not recommended as primary.

Best Plans (Magti)

Plan	Data	Price
Basic	20GB	₾12/month (~$4.40)
Standard	50GB + roaming	₾18/month (~$6.70)
Max	100GB + Europe roaming	₾28/month (~$10.40)

The 50GB plan is right for most remote workers.

Bottom Line

Magti at the airport, 50GB plan, 5 minutes. Airalo if you want pre-arrival eSIM. Home broadband (100–500 Mbps) is fast and cheap — ask your landlord before getting a separate line.
