“I like esimdb and use it for all my esims worldwide, for a long time now. I do wish the navigation would become easier. So in the main overview I want to see details of 1 esim, and not go to the overview of the provider where I need to manually find the esim I saw in the overview.
Also I wish I could filter by provider (which doesn't always match the provider that you actually get). Everything else is great!

Airgun shows it will have A1 as provider but it is Yettel.”

“The eSIM Europe Unlimited Data didn’t work in Serbia — while it worked fine in other EU countries (Switzerland, Austria, and Germany).

I opened a ticket a week ago and still haven’t received any help.

Avoid this company’s SIMs. If they fail, good luck getting help — you’ll end up buying a new one somewhere else.”

“Bought a plan data and voice. Data worked well. Couldn't make any call. Assistance answered but kept saying to wait. Total scam. They sell only data as fata and voice. Asked for reimbursement. No answer. Never again.”

“Used their Balkan special.
Very slow in Montenegro, despite their full speed claim.
Contacted support and they are aware of the issue.”

“Next I'd think twice before I use the cheapest option. I activated my SIM but wasn't able to use it. I tried everything that came to my mind for 2-3 hours and couldn't make it work.
The support couldn't provide me with a solution either, so I was without data all day. At the end of my trip, on my way back to Bulgaria, I gave it another try, just before I crossed the border, and it suddenly worked.
I got a message from the support on the next day with a suggestion and a possible solution, but it was too late, 'cause I was in Serbia only for a few hours and that's when I needed my data.
I'm definitely not happy with the experience.”

“Superb and very fast communication via email. More than happy with their service. Initially, thought that my eSim was given for my home country (as I scanned the QR before I left). I was re-assured that it will work perfectly when I arrive to my destination (Russia) 10 days later - and indeed it did.”

“Activation with QR code, for activation you'll need a second device. Super fast activation. Works great. Prices are bit higher than other proposes.”

“Activation is not straightforward, need to scan qr code.
After eSIM is downloaded and activated, no internet (writing this review after 2 hours trying to make it work). I have contacted carrier, but still no answer. Purchased 20 GB plan.

My previous experience with esimdb and other carriers was much better.

Not sure if I'll make it work, after all discounts I've paid ~13 EUR for 20GB plan.”

Balkans Travel eSIM FAQ

Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Balkans

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

There are roughly 110 travel eSIM providers and over 4, 000 prepaid data plans available for use in the Balkans, providing travelers with a wide variety of options.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Balkans?

Unlimited data eSIM plans are available for travelers heading to the Balkans. Providers such as Firsty, abesteSIM, Yoho Mobile, Roamify, MicroEsim, and Yesim offer unlimited data options. Most of these plans allow tethering but include a speed limitation that may result in throttling—typically the speed may be capped at around 5 Mbps or, in the case of Firsty, down to 256 kbps due to advertising. The cost of unlimited plans ranges from roughly $0.00 USD for the minimalist Firsty offer to about $54 USD for some of the longer‑duration plans. Travelers should consider their expected internet use and choose a plan that balances cost with the speed and validity period that best fits their trip.

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

Travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS capability are available for the Balkans. Providers such as GlobaleSIM, Roamify, Earth Esim, Orange Travel, MoreMins eSIM and TravelKon offer these options. The plans vary in data size from 1GB to 100GB and in validity from 7 days to 365 days, with prices ranging roughly from $5.50 USD to $105.00 USD depending on data volume and duration.

All of the Balkans‑covered plans use phone numbers from foreign dialing codes. The numbers are issued under +1 (US/Canada), +33 (France) or +44 (UK), so they are not local Balkan numbers. Voice calling is supported inbound and outbound on every plan, and SMS is either inbound only or both inbound and outbound depending on the specific package. Typical validity periods include 7‑day, 15‑day, 30‑day, 60‑day and 365‑day options, allowing travelers to choose a plan that matches the length of their stay.
