The (almost) 5-star eSIM
The eSIM was very easy to install and, once I reached my destination, I had a connection from the very first moment without having to worry about roaming.
Activation was quick and simple, and I had a connection the whole time with no hassle. Coverage and speed were very good.
I went on a trip around Latin America and had coverage everywhere, at a very good price. Highly recommended 💪🏼

More about the Balkans eSIM
eSIM for the Balkans: internet without roaming
The Balkans are one of the regions where roaming costs the most, because most countries are outside the European Union. With a PuraSIM eSIM, your data is active from the moment you land and you connect 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. A single plan to move around the whole region without swapping cards.
Roaming in the Balkans: why an eSIM makes sense for you
Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Albania, North Macedonia and Kosovo are not part of the EU, so the "roam like at home" rule doesn't apply and your carrier can charge you 10 to 15 € per day or much more per megabyte. With an eSIM you pay a fixed price for all your travel days and forget about bill shocks. Only Croatia, Slovenia, Greece, Bulgaria and Romania are in the EU, but a regional plan covers your whole itinerary without switching SIMs.
How much does an eSIM for the Balkans cost?
For a weekend trip with maps, messaging and some social media, 1 GB is usually enough. For one or two weeks traveling through several countries, plan on 3 to 5 GB, and if you share photos and videos daily or use Google Maps non-stop, go for 10 GB. Choose your GB based on your days and pace; you can check the options for all destinations and top up if you run short.
eSIM vs. physical SIM in the Balkans
Buying a local SIM card means finding a carrier store at every border, showing your passport, and changing your number each 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 the main 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 uses the 4G and 5G networks of local operators, so you'll get good speeds in historic centers, along the Adriatic coast, and on roads between countries.
How do you activate the Balkans eSIM?
After purchase you receive a QR code by email. Scan it from your phone settings, install the plan before you leave home, and it activates automatically when you connect to a local network on 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.
