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.

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 are available for Albania. The providers offering such plans are GlobaleSIM, Roamify, MoreMins eSIM and Travel Kon. GlobaleSIM supplies a +1 dial‑ling code number with inbound and outbound voice and inbound SMS only; Roamify offers inbound and outbound voice and SMS, with numbers using +33 or +44 for the Albanian‑named plans; MoreMins eSIM provides a UK +44 number with full voice and SMS; and Travel Kon gives a France +33 number with both inbound and outbound voice and SMS. All of these plans use foreign dialing codes – none issue a local Albanian +355 number – so the phone number will not be local to Albania, but it can still be used to make and receive calls and text messages in Albania through the network.

The plans cover validity periods from 7 days up to 365 days and data allowances from 1 GB to 25 GB. Prices start around $4 for a 1 GB, 7‑day GlobaleSIM plan and rise to roughly $105 for a 20 GB, 365‑day Roamify plan, with a broad range of mid‑tier options in between. Travelers can select the plan that best matches their data needs and desired validity duration.
