BNESIM eSIM Data Plans for Albania

BNESIM does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for Albania. The only plan that carries the word “Unlimited” in its name, Albania Unlimited 10 days, actually limits usage to 3 GB per day and reduces speed to 1 Mbps once that limit is reached.

Travelers looking for larger data allowances can choose one of BNESIM’s fixed data plans. For example, the Surf 100 GB in Albania plan offers 100 GB for 30 days at $68.40 USD, and the Surf 100 GB in Albania Unlimited plan provides 100 GB with no set validity at $78.67 USD. These plans give high data caps and may be more cost‑effective for most visitors unless they require extremely high usage beyond the fixed limits.

BNESIM does not offer any eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capability for Albania. The provider’s offerings in this country are limited to data‑only plans, so travelers cannot receive or make conventional cellular calls or send regular SMS text messages while using the BNESIM eSIM.

Travelers who need voice or messaging services can use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection provided by the eSIM. However, it is advisable to confirm that these apps are accessible in Albania before purchasing, as some destinations may block or restrict certain VoIP services.

BNESIM offers 15 single‑country data plans that cover Albania, and 28 multi‑country plans that include Albania among their destinations. The single‑country plans usually start around $1.70 for 1 GB and climb to roughly $200 for 100 GB, while the multi‑country options span a similar price range but can extend to the higher end of the $432.94 mark with data caps of up to 100 GB across several countries. Validity periods range from 30 days to no expiry, and some plans enable tethering while others impose a reduced speed limit of 1000 kbps.
