BNESIM eSIM Data Plans for Albania

BNESIM does not provide a true unlimited data eSIM for Albania. The plan that carries the name “Albania Unlimited 10 days” actually offers a fixed usage limit of 3GB per day for a 10‑day validity period; after that limit is reached the speed is throttled to 1000kbps, so data is not unlimited.

Travelers who need large amounts of high‑speed data can instead choose BNESIM’s fixed data plans. For example, the “Surf 100 GB in Albania for 30 days” plan gives 100 GB of high‑speed data for a 30‑day period, and the “Surf 100 GB in Albania” plan offers 100 GB of high‑speed data with no expiration. Both plans use the 5G network in Albania and come with tethering allowed. These fixed data bundles are cost‑effective for most visitors unless a user requires an extremely heavy data consumption that would exceed the set allowance.

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.
