The network is very unstable, download speed is bad, upload speed is awful, but after 700 mb the sim just turned off and that's it. EDGE and no internet access.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

There are more than 100 travel eSIM providers and over 5 400 prepaid data plans available for Latvia. The wide variety of options makes it easy for travelers to find an eSIM that suits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Latvia?

Several eSIM providers offer unlimited data packages that can be used in Latvia, though many of the plans include speed throttling or explicit limits. For example, Firsty offers an unlimited plan with a 256‑kbps speed limit, while Yoho Mobile and abesteSIM provide unlimited data capped at 5 Mbps. The other providers listed – Airhub, Roamify, MicroEsim, Billion Connect, Truely, and Yesim – also offer unlimited data but note that they may throttle speeds without a fixed limit. Prices for these unlimited options range from about $0 for a 1‑day Firsty plan up to around $30 for the longest validity periods, usually 1 to 10 days. Travelers should estimate their expected data use—such as streaming, navigation, social media, and business work—and choose a plan that offers enough bandwidth and a suitable price point for comfortable use while in Latvia.

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?

Travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS capability for use while in Latvia are offered by several providers. GlobaleSIM, Roamify, Amigo eSIM, and MoreMins eSIM supply voice (inbound and outbound) and SMS services, although GlobaleSIM is limited to inbound SMS, while the other three support both inbound and outbound SMS. The phone numbers that accompany these plans use foreign dialing codes: GlobaleSIM’s numbers have the +1 code, Roamify’s numbers have the +33 code, and both Amigo eSIM and MoreMins eSIM provide numbers with the +44 code; none of the listed plans provide a local Latvian (+371) number. Prices for these plans start around $4.50 for a 1 GB, 7‑day bundle and climb to about $60 for larger data packages, with validity periods typically ranging from 7 to 30 days.

These numbers can be used for calls and texts while in Latvia once the eSIM is activated, though any outbound costs depend on the provider’s rates. If a truly local Latvian number is required, these options may not satisfy that need, and travelers can instead rely on data‑only eSIMs or VoIP applications such as WhatsApp or Telegram for communication.
