“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.”

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?

Latvia offers approximately 130 travel eSIM providers and more than 7, 000 prepaid data plans. The extensive selection, with over 7, 000 options, provides a wide variety, making it easy for travelers to find an eSIM that suits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Latvia?

Yes, several eSIM providers offer unlimited data plans for Latvia. Providers such as Firsty, Yoho Mobile, Roamify, MicroEsim, Billion Connect, abesteSIM, Truely, Yesim, and FairPlay all list unlimited data options. Some of these plans include speed throttling or limits – for example, Firsty’s plan caps speed at 256 kbps, while many others cap at 5 Mbps or otherwise throttle speeds after a certain amount of use. Prices for unlimited plans vary from a free option with ads through to around $33.60 USD, depending on the provider and the validity period. Travelers can choose a plan that matches their usage expectations and budget, keeping in mind that speed may be reduced after data thresholds are reached.

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 are available for Latvia. The main providers are GlobaleSIM and Roamify.

GlobaleSIM offers several Latvia‑named packages using a +1 phone number, which is a US number. These plans give inbound and outbound voice and inbound SMS, with data limits from 1 GB to 200 GB, validity from 7 days to 200 days, and prices starting at $4.50 USD. Roamify’s Latvia eSIMs are part of its Europe suites and use a +33 phone number (France). These plans provide inbound and outbound voice, inbound and outbound SMS, data up to 500 GB, 30‑day validity, and prices beginning at $15.00 USD.

Neither GlobaleSIM nor Roamify supplies a local +371 Latvian number; the phone numbers come from other countries, but both providers allow local calls and text messages to and from Latvian numbers.
