“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 approximately 160 travel eSIM providers and more than 5300 prepaid data plans offered for the Balkans. The large number of plans ensures travelers have many options to find one that fits their specific needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Balkans?

Unlimited data eSIM plans are available for the Balkans from several providers. The main options include abesteSIM, Roamify, MicroEsim, Earth Esim, Yesim and Wiiline. All of these plans allow tethering, although speed may be throttled after a certain amount of traffic or bitrate is capped. For example, Earth Esim imposes a 5‑Mbps or 10‑Mbps limit, while Wiiline limits speed to 5 Mbps and can drop to 512 kbps in some cases.

Prices for unlimited plans vary widely, ranging from just over $3 to more than $320 USD depending on the provider and the validity period. Travelers should choose a plan that matches the length of their stay and their expected usage to ensure sufficient data coverage.

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

Travel eSIMs that provide a phone number and SMS support are available for use in the Balkans. Providers such as GlobaleSIM, ESIM.DOG, JamboSim, Roamify, Simbye, eSIMX and other carriers listed on eSIMDB offer plans that include inbound or outbound voice calls and SMS messaging. These plans are sold at prices beginning around $5 and extend to about $105, while validity periods range from 7 days to 365 days for specific packages.

Because all of these carriers use dialing codes that differ from those of Balkan countries – such as +1 (United States), +33 (France), +44 (United Kingdom) or +376 (Andorra) – the phone numbers assigned to users are not local Balkan numbers, but are foreign numbers capable of making and receiving calls and SMS within the Balkans. Users can expect inbound voice and SMS with most plans, while some carriers (for example, JamboSim) offer only outbound voice or SMS. As always, check any local restrictions on foreign numbers before travel.
