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.

There was additional benefit with Airhub that I asked to extend my plan validity & they gimme additional off there, i used coupon "foryou".
Thanks esimdb & airhub.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Approximately 80 providers and roughly 2,200 prepaid data plans are available for the Balkans. With a wide variety of options, travelers can easily find an eSIM that matches their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Balkans?

Unlimited data eSIM plans are available across several providers in the Balkans. The following providers offer such plans, all of which include a tethering option but may impose speed limits or throttling. Firsty offers a 1‑day unlimited plan starting at $0.00 with a speed limit of 256 kbps, while abesteSIM and Yoho Mobile provide daily‑to‑90‑day unlimited plans with a 5 Mbps speed limit. The other providers—MicroEsim, Roamify, and Yesim—also offer unlimited data for 1‑to‑90‑day periods, though their speed details vary but generally include possible throttling. Prices for these unlimited plans range from $0.00 up to $449.07, with most options falling between $3.73 and $368.36 depending on validity and provider.

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

Travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS are available for the Balkans from GlobaleSIM, Roamify and MoreMins eSIM. These plans use phone numbers from foreign dialing codes (GlobaleSIM and Roamify supply a +1 US number, Roamify also offers a +33 France number and MoreMins provides a +44 UK number). The numbers support inbound calls, outbound calls and inbound SMS for all GlobaleSIM and MoreMins plans, while Roamify plans additionally offer outbound SMS, enabling two‑way text messaging through the provided number.

Because the numbers do not match the local Balkan dialing codes, they are not locally registered numbers in Balkan countries. Travelers can still use the data portion of the eSIM for internet access, and can make calls or send messages via VoIP apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage. Prices for these plans start around $5.50 USD and extend to over $100 USD, with validity periods ranging from 1 day to 365 days.
