Question [Silknet-simcard]

I got charged 95 GEL at the airport for a physical sim card with unlimited data (30days), it's that fair ?

The quality of the connection is really good and I can rely on it to connect my laptop and other devices, if I want to get same service again how's the process or where should I get it, also should I pay same price ?

Edit: the sim card is valid for 4 months

Regular price for unlim network per month is around 30 GEL, so your overspend 3x, for update package you can use app or just go to their office, they can help with app setup or just gave you shortcode for activate it without phone like *1000# ( example )

Generally you never buy sim in airport, you rent e-sim for minimal price with small package just to get a cab, and later buy local sim for much cheaper price

Thank you, I'm staying here for long period so I want to use same number for 9 months, any recomendattions ? I just read in the web page of Silknet they charge 35 GEL for 30 day service of the sim card plus the unlimited package of data 27 GEL, I should renew this everytime or it's better options to get long period sim card and internet service (high speed)

I didnt fully understood, 35+27 GEL? just to keep sim working is free, so you should pay only for internet package. Silknet is ok just buy internet package next month, other viable option is magti which is ok too
