“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.”

“I purchased two Bosnia and Herzegovina (HT Eronet) - 10GB/30Days eSIM packages. The pre-installation process was smooth, but activation at the border wasn’t as trouble-free. Throughout the trip, I often had no internet connection. At one rest stop, I noticed the phone had latched onto the MTEL network instead of Eronet. I tried switching manually, experimented with both automatic and manual APN settings (using the official Eronet APN), but none of it helped—the issue remained the same: sometimes there was internet, sometimes there wasn’t.

Once we arrived in Mostar, things got a bit more stable, but even there the connection frequently dropped—at our accommodation too, for instance. My wife (using a Motorola; I have a Honor) kept pointing out that we had no internet again.

Speed wasn’t an issue when it did work, but I’d recommend going with BH Telecom instead—whenever Eronet failed, my other SIM on BH Telecom had full signal. In some cases, the only way to reconnect was to disable and re-enable the eSIM entirely.”

“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 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 more than 150 travel eSIM brands available for use in the Balkans, offering more than 5, 000 prepaid data plans. With a wide variety of options, travelers can easily find an eSIM that fits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Balkans?

Yes, several eSIM providers offer unlimited data plans for the Balkan region. Providers such as Roamify, MicroEsim, Earth Esim, Yesim, and Wiiline list unlimited data options. These plans typically provide 5G connectivity and allow tethering, but the speeds may be throttled or capped—Roamify and MicroEsim are known to throttle the speed, Earth Esim limits the data rate to 5 Mbps or 10 Mbps, and Wiiline restricts the speed to 5 Mbps with an even lower level of 512 kbps if the usage is high. The validity periods vary from as short as one day to as long as 90 days, with most plans in the 1–30 day range. Price ranges span from about $3.50 at the lower end up to $322.70 at the upper end, with most plans falling between $3.50 and $227.22. Travelers should review the specific validity dates, speed limits, and price points to choose a plan that best matches their internet usage needs.

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

Travel eSIM plans that provide a phone number and SMS capability are available for travelers to the Balkans. The providers that offer such plans are GlobaleSIM, ESIM.DOG, JamboSim, Roamify, eSIMX, and Earth Esim. These plans include voice service (inbound and outbound) and SMS service (either inbound only or inbound and outbound), but the phone numbers are issued under foreign dialing codes such as +1, +33, +376, and +44, so they are not local Balkan numbers.

Prices for these plans start at about $5.00 and can be purchased for period ranging from 7 days to 365 days, depending on the data volume and validity chosen. If a local Balkan phone number is required, travelers may need to consider a domestic SIM or use VoIP applications that operate over the data connection.
