Coverage and networks

Your eSIM connects to a partner network in each country on the list. The networks and the final list for each plan are confirmed at checkout.

Balkan road trips cross borders often, and the non-EU countries on the route – Serbia, Albania, Montenegro and North Macedonia – are outside roam-like-at-home rules, so European SIMs can charge there. A regional plan covers the whole loop on one eSIM.

Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo are not on this list. If your route goes through them, add a plan for those countries, such as our Bosnia and Herzegovina plan.

Countries: Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia
Partner networks: Local 4G and 5G networks in each country on the list
Technology: 5G, 4G LTE
Access point (APN): Set automatically
Calls and SMS: Not included. Use internet calling apps.
Fair use: None: full speed until the plan’s data or days run out

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.

Balkans eSIM questions

Why not just use my EU SIM?

In Greece, Croatia and Bulgaria it usually roams at home prices. In Serbia, Albania, Montenegro and North Macedonia it often does not, because they are outside the EU – that is where a regional plan pays off.

Does it cover Bosnia and Herzegovina?

No. For Sarajevo and Mostar, add a Bosnia and Herzegovina plan.

Will it work on mountain roads between countries?

Border areas in the Balkans are often mountainous, and coverage can drop on the passes whichever network you use. Download maps before long drives.

Can I buy the plan now and travel next month?

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