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

Travel eSIM plans that provide a phone number and SMS support for North Macedonia are available from providers such as GlobaleSIM and Roamify. These plans use foreign dialing codes – +1 for most GlobaleSIM offerings and +33 for a Roamify option – so the phone numbers are not local North Macedonia numbers (which use +389). Voice calls are available inbound and outbound on all plans, and SMS can be received on every plan; outbound SMS is offered on all GlobaleSIM plans and on Roamify plans that advertise inbound/outbound SMS.

Prices and validity vary. For example, GlobaleSIM’s smaller 1 GB 7‑day plan starts at $5.00 USD, while Roamify’s larger 20 GB 30‑day option is priced at $35.00 USD. Validity periods range from 7 days up to 30 days (or longer on some Roamify premium packages).
