North Macedonia 5GB eSIM

At €0.27 the 1 GB, 7-day plan is the cheapest option, but cheapest is not always best value once you factor in a longer stay. For light use with Wi-Fi offloading downloads, it works. The 3 GB plan comes in 15- or 30-day versions, with 30 days at €2.93. If you share photos, make video calls or run a hotspot, compare 10 GB for 30 days at €9.35. 20 GB is the largest allowance on offer. As a starting set of recommendations, match validity to your nights away, then add headroom for maps and uploads.

Listed networks: Makedonski Telekom, A1 Macedonia. Connects to 4G/5G where the network offers it. Speeds and signal vary with your phone, location and network conditions.

Check your exact model and the region it was sold in, then confirm it's network unlocked. On an iPhone (iOS), open Settings > General > About and look for 'No SIM restrictions', then find Add eSIM under Cellular or Mobile Data. Android paths vary by brand. An eSIM card is stored in the phone rather than swapped, but a recent model name alone doesn't confirm support, so check the compatibility guide and manufacturer pages.

Install over reliable Wi-Fi and keep the supplied instructions available offline. Check the activation steps before switching the line on: installing and the start of validity can be separate events, and there's no guarantee of instant installation. After arriving in North Macedonia, choose the travel line for mobile data and apply the roaming settings shown for that line.

No. It's a data-only plan without a North Macedonia phone number, ordinary calls or SMS. Messaging and internet-calling apps run over the data connection. SMS verification codes still go to your regular line, so keep it active and check any charges with your carrier or bank.

The listed networks support hotspot. Any device you connect draws from the same data allowance. Tethering is supported on the listed networks, and any device you connect eats into the same data allowance. Keep software updates, cloud backups and large downloads on Wi-Fi when you need the allowance to last.

Yes, one eSIM plan can cover Skopje, Ohrid and Matka within North Macedonia, provided your data allowance and validity last for your whole trip. The same plan works in all three places, and data balance and validity are shared across the whole trip. That doesn't promise reception in a canyon, inside a building or on every stretch of lakeshore, so no plan can claim best coverage in those spots.

No. Coverage is North Macedonia only. Albania, Greece, Kosovo, Serbia and Bulgaria are not included. Get a plan with explicit coverage for the next country before you cross a border, and don't treat a regional network name as proof of extra coverage.

Neither. Each plan gives the shown total data for its stated validity; messaging, streaming YouTube or connected hotspot devices all draw from one balance. There is no plan for 1 day and no daily reset, so even a trip of one day uses the 7-day option. A 30-day plan doesn't add new data each day, and leftover data doesn't extend validity. It's a prepaid fixed-total allowance, so nothing renews automatically; read the purchase terms to confirm there is no contract and no further charges apply.

Compare another plan with enough data and validity for the rest of your stay, and read the purchase instructions before installing. A new purchase doesn't automatically extend the current plan or carry over unused data. Use a top up or reuse an installed profile only if that option is explicitly offered with your order.

Confirm you're in North Macedonia, the eSIM is enabled and selected for mobile data, and there's data and validity left. Follow the supplied roaming and APN instructions, then toggle airplane mode or restart the phone. Move somewhere with a stronger signal. If it still fails, keep the profile installed and contact support with your order reference, phone model and location.

Select the travel eSIM for mobile data, switch off automatic data switching and turn off data roaming on your regular SIM. Any roaming setting the travel eSIM needs applies to that line only. Keeping your home number on can still trigger call or SMS charges under your carrier's terms.

Keep your order reference and setup details ready when you contact support through the channel provided with your purchase. Read the refund conditions before ordering; eligibility can depend on activation and use. Don't delete an installed eSIM while a problem is being investigated unless support tells you to.
