“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.”

GLOBAL YO Albania

“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.”

Albania Travel eSIM FAQ

Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Albania

How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Albania, and how many prepaid data plans are there?

There are more than 140 travel eSIM providers and over 6, 400 prepaid data plans available for Albania. With such a wide variety of options, travelers can easily find an eSIM that fits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Albania?

All of the eSIM providers in Albania offer unlimited data plans. The plans vary primarily in validity period, price and speed limits.

Firsty gives a 1‑day unlimited plan that is free but contains ads and the speed may be capped at 256 kbps. The remaining providers—Yoho Mobile, abesteSIM, Roamify, MicroEsim, Yesim, Truely and FairPlay—offer unlimited data for 1 to 30 days. They all allow tethering and may throttle speed, typically to about 5 Mbps, though the exact throttling policy can vary between carriers.

Prices for these unlimited plans range from a free 1‑day option to about $35.00 USD for the longest validities. Travelers should estimate their data usage based on activities such as streaming, navigation, and social media, and select a plan that offers sufficient validity and budget to cover those needs comfortably.

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Albania?

Vodafone Albania: "A leading telecommunications company offering extensive coverage and a range of mobile services."
One Telecommunications: "Provides comprehensive mobile services with a focus on customer satisfaction and network quality."
ALBtelecom: "Offers a variety of mobile and fixed-line services, known for its nationwide network coverage."

In Albania, Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) are not prevalent. Most travel eSIMs operate on the infrastructure of the major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) listed above.

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

Yes, several travel eSIM providers offer plans with a phone number that can send and receive SMS while you are in Albania. Providers such as GlobaleSIM, Roamify, Orange Travel, TravelKon and MoreMins eSIM offer Albanian‑targeted packages that include a foreign‑dialing‑code phone number (+1 for GlobaleSIM, +44 for Roamify and MoreMins, and +33 for Orange Travel and TravelKon). These numbers provide inbound and outbound voice calls and SMS, although the inbound‑only SMS option appears on some GlobaleSIM and Roamify plans, while others support inbound and outbound text. None of the listed plans use the local Albanian dialing code (+355), so the number issued will be foreign.

Typical plans start at about $4 for a 1 GB, 7‑day package and can extend to roughly $60 for 25–30 GB data with a 30‑day validity, with some Roamify options lasting up to 365 days at $105. Prices and validity vary across providers, but all offer the ability to keep a standard SIM‑like number and text messages while traveling in Albania.
