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?

More than 110 travel eSIM brands are available for use in Latvia, and there are over 5 400 prepaid data plans. With this vast selection, travelers can easily find an eSIM that fits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Latvia?

Unlimited data eSIM plans are available for travellers heading to Latvia. Providers such as Firsty, Yoho Mobile, Airhub, Roamify, MicroEsim, Billion Connect, abesteSIM, Truely and Yesim offer unlimited data on a daily or multi‑day validity basis. Most of the plans allow tethering, though speed throttling is common: for example Firsty caps speeds at about 256 kbps, while Yoho Mobile and abesteSIM advertise a 5 Mbps limit that may be throttled during congestion. Airhub, Roamify, MicroEsim, Billion Connect, Truely and Yesim typically provide unlimited data that can also be throttled but do not specify a hard speed limit. Prices for these unlimited offerings range from as low as free with ads (Firsty) to roughly $29.88 USD for the highest‑priced plan (Truely). The validity period for most of these plans spans between one and fifteen days. If you prefer a more predictable service level, consider choosing a provider that lists higher speeds or a longer validity period to match your travel itinerary.

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.
