“Hi.

according to the product description, the O2 Slovakia 5G and Telekom 5G networks should work, but only Telekom 5G works and o2 only 4G. With unlimited Internet in the Europe package, they limit the speed to 10 Mbit”

Slovakia Travel eSIM FAQ

Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Slovakia

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

There are about 190 travel eSIM providers and roughly 13 700 prepaid data plans available for Slovakia. With such a wide variety of options, travelers can easily find an eSIM that fits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Slovakia?

Unlimited data eSIM plans for Slovakia are available from several providers. The options include Roamify, MicroEsim, Yesim, Earth Esim, EtravelSIM, Truely, Ohayu, and FairPlay. Each of these offers uncapped data usage, although most specify that speeds may be throttled after a certain threshold; MicroEsim and Earth Esim also list explicit speed limits (10 Mbps and 5–10 Mbps, respectively), while Ohayu advertises a 1 Mbps limit. The price of these unlimited plans ranges from about $2.49 for the shortest-term Roamify and MicroEsim offers up to $36.49 for the longest-term 20‑day Roamify plan, with most plans falling between $2.50 and $36.00. Validity periods vary from a single day to 20 days depending on the provider. Travelers should estimate their data needs based on intended internet activities and choose a plan that comfortably exceeds that estimate, keeping in mind possible speed throttling.

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?

Travel eSIMs that give a phone number and SMS are available for Slovakia. Providers that offer such plans are GlobaleSIM, Orange Travel and EtravelSIM. All three give an international number – GlobaleSIM supplies a U.S./Canada (+1) number, Orange Travel offers a Polish (+48) number, and EtravelSIM provides a U.K. (+44) number – so none of the plans include a local Slovak (+421) phone number. Each plan supports inbound and outbound voice calls as well as inbound and outbound SMS.

The price range for these plans starts at about $4.00 for a short‑term GlobaleSIM plan and goes up to roughly $20.00 for longer‑duration options from Orange Travel and EtravelSIM. Validity periods vary from one day to a month, giving travelers flexibility to choose a duration that matches their stay. Users should confirm that any required VoIP or messaging services are accessible in Slovakia before purchasing.
