Mobile operators and Venezuela's 2025 spectrum auction
Venezuela's telecom regulator, CONATEL, ran the country's first spectrum auction in eleven years on 30 January 2025, at the Caracas Stock Exchange. Digitel won the 3.5 GHz band and Movistar won the 2.5 GHz band; the state-owned Cantv and its mobile arm, Movilnet, both entered the first round but didn't advance to the second, financial-proposal stage. That auction is the clearest recent sign of CONATEL's regulatory role and sets up what both winning operators have done with the new spectrum since.
5G, Fixed Wireless Access and the handset reality in Venezuela
Using the spectrum it won in January 2025, Digitel launched a commercial 5G service in June 2025. By March 2026 that service was live in Gran Caracas and the states of Bolívar, Lara, Barinas, Mérida and Nueva Esparta — but it's Fixed Wireless Access, marketed as home and business internet, not a mobile-phone network. Digitel's own current site confirms this directly, describing 5G as available via FWA in Barinas, Nueva Esparta and Mérida while listing mobile-device 5G support as 'anticipated soon' rather than live. Movistar, meanwhile, is putting its own newly-won 2.5 GHz spectrum toward 4G LTE network expansion rather than 5G. For a phone, plan on 4G as the everyday baseline in Venezuela.
Roaming and buying connectivity in Venezuela without an eSIM
Venezuela sits outside the EU's 'Roam Like at Home' area, which covers only the EU member states plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, and separately Moldova and Ukraine. Your Belgian or Dutch bundle doesn't travel with you here, so your home operator bills local data at its own out-of-bundle roaming rate — arranging a local eSIM before you fly avoids that charge entirely. If you do want a local line, Digitel's own site lists the requirements for a new prepaid or postpaid connection: a valid government-issued ID, a personal email address, a compatible device and a signed service contract, with eSIM available on request at an authorised Digitel centre. No dedicated visitor procedure is stated, and Movistar's and Movilnet's own registration rules weren't reachable to confirm this round.
Frequently asked questions
Which mobile networks are there in Venezuela?+
Digitel and Movistar are the two private operators, alongside the state-owned Cantv and its mobile arm, Movilnet. All four took part in the regulator CONATEL's spectrum auction in January 2025, though only Digitel and Movistar advanced far enough to win new spectrum.
Is there 5G in Venezuela?+
Digitel launched a commercial 5G service in June 2025, but as of this round it's Fixed Wireless Access for home and business internet, not a mobile-handset network — Digitel's own site describes mobile-device 5G support as 'anticipated soon' rather than live. It's currently available in Gran Caracas and the states of Bolívar, Lara, Barinas, Mérida and Nueva Esparta. Plan on 4G for your phone.
Is there 4G in Venezuela?+
Yes. Movistar's winning spectrum from the January 2025 auction is earmarked for 4G LTE network expansion, not 5G. No national coverage percentage has been published by either operator, so treat 4G as present rather than guaranteed everywhere.
Do I need ID for a SIM or eSIM in Venezuela?+
On Digitel's own site, a new line (prepaid or postpaid) requires a valid government-issued ID, a personal email address, a compatible device and a signed service contract. No separate visitor procedure is stated, so a short-stay traveller appears to go through the same steps as a resident applicant.
Does my Belgian or Dutch bundle work in Venezuela?+
No. Venezuela is outside the EU roaming zone, so the European price caps don't apply there, and your home operator's out-of-bundle rate can be costly — an eSIM arranged before departure avoids that charge.
Does my phone support eSIM?+
Most recent smartphones (iPhone XS and newer, recent Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel) support eSIM. Check your settings for an 'Add eSIM' option.
When should I activate my Venezuela eSIM?+
Install the eSIM before departure over wifi, but only enable data roaming once you arrive in Venezuela, so your plan starts at the right time.
How do I receive my eSIM?+
Right after payment you receive the QR code by email and in your Ariya Mobile account. Remember to check your spam folder.
Can I top up my plan?+
Yes, simply buy a new Venezuela eSIM plan when your data or validity runs out.
