Bought a plan data and voice. Data worked well. Couldn't make any call. Assistance answered but kept saying to wait. Total scam. They sell only data as fata and voice. Asked for reimbursement. No answer. Never again.

Activation with QR code, for activation you'll need a second device. Super fast activation. Works great. Prices are bit higher than other proposes.

Activation is not straightforward, need to scan qr code.
After eSIM is downloaded and activated, no internet (writing this review after 2 hours trying to make it work). I have contacted carrier, but still no answer. Purchased 20 GB plan.

My previous experience with esimdb and other carriers was much better.

Not sure if I'll make it work, after all discounts I've paid ~13 EUR for 20GB plan.

Unlimited data eSIM options are available for travelers to Albania through several providers. A range of companies such as Firsty, Yoho Mobile, abesteSIM, MicroEsim, Roamify, Airhub, Yesim and Truely offer plans that advertise “unlimited” data usage, though most include provisions for speed throttling. For instance, Firsty caps speeds at about 256 kbps, while Yoho Mobile, abesteSIM, MicroEsim, Roamify, Airhub, Yesim and Truely commonly cap throughput to roughly 5 Mbps or limit the type of connection (4G, 5G or LTE) that can be used. Some plans also allow tethering, but may still apply throttling after heavy use. The price range for unlimited data plans varies from $0.00 to $56.79 USD, depending on the provider, validity period (typically 1 to 30 days) and any additional features. Visitors should review each provider’s specific terms to confirm coverage and conditions that meet their intended data usage.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Albania?

Yes, travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS for Albania are available. Providers such as GlobaleSIM and Roamify offer these plans, and all of them use foreign dialing codes: +1 for GlobaleSIM and +33 or +44 for Roamify. The global SIMs allow inbound and outbound voice calls, while their SMS capabilities vary—GlobaleSIM’s Albania‑specific plans supply inbound SMS only, whereas Roamify supplies both inbound and outbound SMS.

Typical packages start at roughly $30 for a 15‑GB data plan valid for 30 days and can go up to $60 for a 25‑GB plan with unlimited calls and SMS, still valid for 30 days. If a local Albanian number is required, these options will not provide one; the numbers will be from the foreign country indicated by the dialing code.
