Latvia Travel eSIM FAQ

Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Latvia

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

There are more than 150 travel eSIM providers and over 9, 200 prepaid data plans available in Latvia, giving travelers a wide variety of options to choose from that suit their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Latvia?

Unlimited data eSIM plans are available for Latvia from several providers. Providers such as Roamify, MicroEsim, Roambit, abesteSIM, Yesim, Billion Connect, Truely, Orange Travel, FairPlay, and Airhub offer unlimited data options that cover 5G networks. Most of these plans allow tethering and the speed may be throttled; one provider, abesteSIM, sets a speed limit of 5 Mbps. The price range for these unlimited plans varies with validity periods and provider, generally ranging from about $2.50 to $44.00 USD, giving travelers a range of budget options to choose from.

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Latvia?

Latvia's mobile telecommunications market is served by three major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs):

Latvijas Mobilais Telefons (LMT): The largest operator in Latvia, offering extensive 4G and 5G coverage, along with a range of mobile services including voice and data.
Tele2 Latvia: A significant provider known for its competitive services and strong focus on expanding 4G and 5G network infrastructure.
Bite Latvia: A key player offering mobile voice and data services, focusing on 4G and 5G connectivity with competitive pricing.

In addition to these MNOs, Latvia hosts several Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs), such as TRIATEL, MEGATEL, and Xomobile. MVNOs provide mobile services by leasing access from major carriers, offering specialized plans and services. However, most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of MNOs rather than MVNOs.

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

Yes, travel eSIM plans that give you a phone number and SMS capability while in Latvia are available. Providers that offer such plans include Roamify, eSimfly, SimOptions, Orange Travel, and Simbye. These plans give you an active phone number that can receive calls and send texts; however the numbers are issued from foreign dialling codes rather than Latvia’s own code (for most plans the code is +33 from France, with some Airhub plans using +371).

Typical validity periods are 30 days, though several plans are also available for 7 or 10 days, and the data allowance ranges from a few gigabytes to 100 GB. Prices start around $15 for the lower‑capacity 30‑day options and rise to roughly $50 for the largest 100 GB packages. If you need a local Latvian number, you would have to use a different type of roaming service, but for a travel eSIM with phone number and SMS support the providers listed above meet the requirement.
