More about the Balkans eSIM
eSIM for the Balkans: internet without roaming
The Balkans are one of the regions where roaming is most expensive, because most countries are outside the European Union. With a PuraSIM eSIM, your data is active from the moment you land, connecting you to the best local networks in each country: Telekom Srbija (mts), A1 and Yettel in Serbia, BH Telecom and m:tel in Bosnia, Crnogorski Telekom and One in Montenegro, Vodafone Albania and ALBtelecom in Albania, or A1 and Makedonski Telekom in North Macedonia. One plan to move around the entire region without changing cards.
Roaming in the Balkans: why an eSIM is convenient for you
Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Albania, North Macedonia, and Kosovo are not part of the EU, so the "roam like at home" rate does not apply, and your operator can charge you €10 to €15 per day or much more per megabyte. With an eSIM, you pay a fixed rate for all your travel days and avoid bill shocks. Only Croatia, Slovenia, Greece, Bulgaria, and Romania are in the EU, but a regional plan covers your entire itinerary without switching between SIMs.
How much does an eSIM for the Balkans cost?
Plans start from €3.95. For a weekend getaway with maps, messaging, and some social media, 1 GB is usually enough. For one or two weeks touring several countries, estimate between 3 and 5 GB, and if you share photos and videos daily or use Google Maps non-stop, 10 GB is better. Choose your GBs based on your days and pace; you can review the options for all destinations and top up if you run short.
eSIM or SIM card in the Balkans
Buying a local SIM card involves finding an operator store at each border, showing your passport, and changing your number every time you cross into another country. An eSIM is a digital chip installed via QR: no plastic, you keep your usual WhatsApp number active, and with a single plan, you cross from Belgrade to Sarajevo or from Podgorica to Tirana without buying anything again.
Does the eSIM work in Belgrade, Dubrovnik, or Sarajevo?
Yes. Coverage is solid in major cities and tourist areas: Belgrade and Novi Sad in Serbia, Sarajevo and Mostar in Bosnia, Dubrovnik, Split, and Zagreb in Croatia, Kotor and Podgorica in Montenegro, Tirana in Albania, and Skopje and Ohrid in North Macedonia. The eSIM relies on the 4G and 5G networks of local operators, so you will have good speed in historic centers, along the Adriatic coast, and on roads between countries.
How do I activate the Balkans eSIM?
After purchase, you will receive a QR code by email. You scan it from your phone's settings, install the plan before leaving home, and it activates automatically when you connect to a local network upon arrival. You don't need to remove your physical SIM. If it's your first time, follow our step-by-step eSIM guide, and you'll have it ready in a couple of minutes, with internet as soon as you land.
