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?

Over one hundred travel eSIM providers and more than two thousand eight hundred prepaid data plans are available for Bosnia and Herzegovina. With such a wide range of options, travelers can easily find an eSIM that fits their needs.

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

Yes, several eSIM providers offer unlimited data plans for travelers in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The options range from free plans with very limited speeds to premium packages that provide full‑speed connectivity for up to three months.

The providers that list unlimited data in their catalog for the country are Firsty, abesteSIM, MicroEsim, Roamify, Yesim, Truely, and Yoho Mobile. Most of these plans allow tethering, although the data may be throttled after a certain usage threshold—Firsty caps its speed at 256 kbps, abesteSIM and Yoho Mobile limit it to 5 Mbps, and the remaining plans note possible throttling without a specific speed cap.

In terms of pricing, the lowest entry‑level unlimited plan is Firsty at $0.00 USD, but it comes with advertisements and severe speed restrictions. For higher‑quality, unrestricted unlimited data, prices start around $3.70 USD and can rise to $449.07 USD for the most extensive 3‑month offerings. Travelers can choose a plan that matches their data needs and budget while keeping in mind the potential speed throttling that applies to many of these unlimited options.

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.
