Install an eSIM for Colombia while you still have dependable private Wi-Fi. The phone must support eSIM and be unlocked before it can accept the profile.
Installation adds the profile; it does not always start the plan. Read the activation rule supplied with the order before scanning the QR code.
NoveSIM Colombia plans are data-only and include no local number, traditional calls or SMS. Online calls and messages use the data connection.
Quick answer: Add the profile before departure, label it Colombia, and wait until arrival to select it for mobile data.

Add the travel profile on Android
On Samsung, the control is usually in SIM Manager; on Pixel and other Android phones it may appear under Network & internet. Choose Add eSIM or Download SIM, scan the code and wait for installation to finish.
Do not scan the QR code repeatedly. Keep the activation details private and follow the Colombia activation guide when you land.

If the line registers without data, data.esim is the manual NoveSIM APN. Keep the installed profile and use the safe troubleshooting steps instead of deleting it.
