I purchased two Bosnia and Herzegovina (HT Eronet) - 10GB/30Days eSIM packages. The pre-installation process was smooth, but activation at the border wasn’t as trouble-free. Throughout the trip, I often had no internet connection. At one rest stop, I noticed the phone had latched onto the MTEL network instead of Eronet. I tried switching manually, experimented with both automatic and manual APN settings (using the official Eronet APN), but none of it helped—the issue remained the same: sometimes there was internet, sometimes there wasn’t.

Once we arrived in Mostar, things got a bit more stable, but even there the connection frequently dropped—at our accommodation too, for instance. My wife (using a Motorola; I have a Honor) kept pointing out that we had no internet again.

Speed wasn’t an issue when it did work, but I’d recommend going with BH Telecom instead—whenever Eronet failed, my other SIM on BH Telecom had full signal. In some cases, the only way to reconnect was to disable and re-enable the eSIM entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

There are roughly 90 travel eSIM brands and about 2,800 prepaid data plans available for Bosnia and Herzegovina. Because there is a wide variety of options, travelers can easily find an eSIM that suits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Bosnia and Herzegovina?

Unlimited data eSIM options exist for Bosnia and Herzegovina. Providers such as Firsty, abesteSIM, MicroEsim, Roamify, Yesim, Airhub, Truely and Yoho Mobile all offer plans that advertise no data caps. Prices for these plans range from free or a few dollars to over $400 USD, depending on validity length, which can span from a single day up to 90 days. Because most of these unlimited plans may apply throttling, some limit the effective speed to 256 kbps or 5 Mbps, and others note that speed could be reduced after a certain amount of use. Network technology available includes 3G, LTE, 4G and, in several cases, 5G. Travelers who are unsure about how much data they will need can estimate usage based on streaming, social media and map navigation habits, and then choose a plan that comfortably exceeds that estimate.

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Bosnia and Herzegovina?

Bosnia and Herzegovina has three major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs):

BH Mobile: The largest operator, offering extensive coverage and a range of services.
m:tel: A significant provider with a broad network and diverse service offerings.
HT Eronet: A key operator delivering various telecommunications services across the country.

In addition to these MNOs, Bosnia and Herzegovina hosts Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) like haloo, which lease access from major carriers to offer mobile services. However, most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of the primary MNOs rather than MVNOs.

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

Yes, travel eSIMs that provide a phone number and support for SMS are available for Bosnia and Herzegovina. The plans that include telephony come from GlobaleSIM, Roamify and the Vodafone‑Global plan sold under the MoreMins eSIM brand. GlobaleSIM offers a range of data bundles from 1GB to 30GB with 7‑ to 30‑day validity, and its numbers use the dialing code +1; the provider supports inbound and outbound voice calls and inbound SMS only. Roamify sells several Bosnia and Herzegovina‑branded eSIMs with 20GB, 15GB, and 25GB data limits, all valid for 30 days and priced between about $35 and $60. Roamify’s plans use foreign dialing codes +33 and +44 and support inbound and outbound voice and SMS. The MoreMins Vodafone Global plan, available for 25GB over 30 days at roughly $40, also uses the dialing code +44 and allows inbound and outbound voice and SMS.

Because all of these plans issue numbers with foreign dialing codes rather than Bosnia and Herzegovina’s own code +387, they do not provide a local local number. Travelers who need a local number might need to look for other providers or use VPN‑based VoIP and messaging services over data.
