Prepare the Puerto Plata–Santiago route offline before departure. A Dominican Republic eSIM can add live messages and updates where its partner has coverage, but the road must remain navigable without it.
Save the correct Puerto Plata starting point and the exact Santiago destination.
NoveSIM plans are data-only.
Quick answer: Download the route and alternatives, store both addresses and keep the phone powered while a passenger handles any changes.
