Coverage and networks

Your eSIM connects to a partner network in Montenegro and switches if the signal is better on another one. The networks for each plan are confirmed at checkout.

Montenegro is small enough to see the coast and the mountains in one trip, and most visitors combine it with Croatia or Albania. It is outside the EU, so roaming from a European SIM can cost extra, even though the euro is the local currency.

Coverage is good around the Bay of Kotor and along the coast. In Durmitor National Park, the Tara Canyon and on the serpentine road above Kotor the signal comes and goes.

Check your phone first

Your phone must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. If it was bought from a mobile network on contract, ask them to unlock it before you travel.

  • Dial *#06#. If you see an EID number, your phone supports eSIM.
  • Most iPhones from XR and XS onwards, Google Pixel 3 onwards and Samsung Galaxy S20 onwards support eSIM.

We check it against the list of eSIM phones. Nothing is saved.

Montenegro eSIM questions

Montenegro uses the euro – does EU roaming apply?

No. Montenegro uses the euro but is not in the EU, so roam-like-at-home rules do not cover it. Check your provider’s rates before you rely on your usual SIM.

Can I use it on a day trip to Dubrovnik?

No – Dubrovnik is in Croatia. A Montenegro plan works only in Montenegro, so for a day across the border choose a Balkans regional plan that lists both countries, or use your EU SIM in Croatia.

Will I have signal rafting on the Tara?

Deep in the canyon, mostly not. Your rafting company will tell you where to expect signal; save your transfer details before you set off.

Can I buy the plan now and travel next month?

Yes. The plan starts when the eSIM first connects in Montenegro. Install it within 180 days of buying.
