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.

All of the available plans are unrestricted in data volume, but speed may be throttled on each of them.

The price range for unlimited plans spans from a free offering by Firsty to about $120 per month, with most providers offering plans between roughly $3.50 and $120 depending on validity and specific features.

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?

Travel eSIMs that provide a phone number and SMS for Bosnia and Herzegovina are available from several providers. GlobaleSIM, for example, offers plans ranging from 1 GB to 20 GB over 7 – 30 days with an outbound/inbound voice channel and inbound SMS. Roamify supplies 20 – 25 GB packages with outbound/inbound voice and SMS, and MoreMins eSIM delivers a 25 GB option that includes a UK phone number with inbound/outbound calls and messages. All of these plans use foreign dialing codes ( +1, +33, +44 ) rather than the local Bosnian code, so the phone number is not local to Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Prices start around $4.00 USD for a 1 GB 7‑day plan and rise to approximately $60.00 USD for a 25 GB 30‑day package. Validity periods span from 7 to 30 days, and the plans support 4G, 5G, and LTE data connectivity, with some allowing tethering.
