- Mobile data plans for 15 GB cost approximately 10 GEL ($4), making local SIM much cheaper than roaming.
- Short-term furnished apartments in Gudauri typically include pre-installed fiber broadband at 50–100 Mbps; confirm provider and speeds with your rental host.
- Mountain areas above the main town (e.g., near Gergeti Trinity Church) may see weaker signal; stay connected via hotel/guesthouse WiFi in those zones.
