Travelers should review the specific speed limits and validity periods of each plan to ensure it meets their connectivity needs during the visit.

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 eSIMs that provide a phone number and SMS capability are available for Latvia. Several providers offer such plans, including GlobaleSIM, Roamify, eSimfly, SimOptions, Orange Travel and other operators listed on eSIMDB. These plans give you a virtual phone number that can make and receive calls and send and receive text messages, even though the number is issued from a foreign dialing code.

On most of these plans the phone number comes from a dialing code other than Latvia’s own (+372). For example, GlobaleSIM uses the +1 code (U.S./Canada), Roamify and many others use +33 (France), eSimfly offers numbers from +44 (United Kingdom), and SimOptions provides +420 (Czech Republic). All the listed plans include inbound voice and SMS, and most also allow outbound voice and SMS. Prices start around $4.50 USD for a 1‑GB, 7‑day plan and can grow to several hundred dollars for larger data and longer validity periods.
