What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Slovakia?

In Slovakia, the primary Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) are:

Orange Slovensko: A subsidiary of Orange S.A., offering extensive mobile services and covering 99% of the population.
Slovak Telekom: Part of the Deutsche Telekom Group, providing a wide range of mobile services with substantial market presence.
O2 Slovakia: Operated by O2 Czech Republic, offering various mobile services and covering 97.6% of the population with 4G and 84.9% with 5G as of 2024.
4ka (SWAN Mobile): A newer entrant focusing on budget-friendly mobile services, covering around 95% of the population with 4G and 25% with 5G as of 2024.

In addition to these MNOs, Slovakia hosts several Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs), such as Tesco Mobile, which operates on the O2 network. MVNOs provide mobile services by leasing access from major carriers. However, most travel eSIMs rely on MNO infrastructure rather than MVNOs.

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

Yes, travel eSIM plans that include a phone number with voice and SMS capability are available for Slovakia. The providers that offer such plans are Giga.Tel, GlobaleSIM, Orange Travel and Roamify. Giga.Tel supplies local Slovak numbers with the dialing code +421, while GlobaleSIM, Orange Travel and Roamify issue foreign numbers (dialing codes +1, +48 and +33 respectively), so callers will see a non‑Slovak number but can still receive and make calls and send SMS in Slovakia.

Typical price ranges start around $4.00 USD for a 1 GB, 7‑day plan and rise to about $20.99 USD for a 10 GB, 14‑day plan, with validity periods ranging from one week to a month. Data volumes vary from 1 GB to 50 GB in the most generous options. Travelers who wish to use a strictly local Slovak number should choose Giga.Tel; the other providers can still provide full voice and SMS service through their foreign numbers.
