“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?

Over 150 providers and more than 5, 400 prepaid data plans are available for the Balkans, giving travelers a wide variety of options to find a plan that matches their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Balkans?

There are several eSIM providers that offer unlimited data plans covering the Balkan region. These plans are available on 5G networks and typically allow tethering, although the speeds may be throttled or capped at a lower maximum (for example, Earth Esim limits data to 5 Mbps or 10 Mbps, and Wiiline has a 5 Mbps limit and a reduced speed of 512 kbps). The price range for such unlimited plans varies widely, from roughly $3 USD for short‑term 7‑day options up to about $120 USD for longer validity periods of up to 90 days. When choosing a plan, travelers should consider the intended data usage—streaming, browsing, or using maps—and select a provider whose validity and price fit their travel schedule and data needs.

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

Travel eSIM providers that offer phone numbers and SMS support for travel in the Balkans are available. Available providers include GlobaleSIM, ESIM.DOG 🐶, JamboSim, Roamify, Giga.Tel, and Earth Esim; additional providers are also listed in the eSIM database. All of these plans use the global dialing code +1, so the phone number you receive is not local to a Balkan country. The plans provide inbound and outbound voice calling and support inbound SMS for all providers, while many also allow outbound SMS.

The plans range in price from about $5 for a 7‑day plan to over $100 for 180‑ to 365‑day durations. Validity periods vary from 7 days to a full year, offering flexibility for short stays or extended travels. These plans are suitable for users who need a working phone number and SMS capability while visiting Balkan countries, although the number will be foreign and may incur international call or SMS charges depending on the carrier.
