Albania travel data eSIM
What is an Albania eSIM?
An Albania eSIM gives travelers a ready‑to‑use data‑only connection the moment they step onto Albanian soil. After installing the eSIM at home, you arrive in Tirana, the coastal towns of the Riviera, or the mountain villages and instantly have internet for maps, translation, ride‑hailing and staying in touch without swapping physical SIMs.
In Albania the eSIM links to the One Albania 5G network, so any data you purchase is routed through that operator’s infrastructure. Your chosen plan—whether 1 GB for a week or up to 20 GB for a month—behaves like a local prepaid data package, charging only for the amount you use while you are in the country.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operator does the Albania eSIM use and what does that mean for a traveller?
The eSIM connects to One Albania 5G. For travelers this provides a local data experience, allowing access to the same services and apps they would use with a domestic prepaid SIM.
Can the Albania eSIM be used in a neighbouring country, such as Montenegro?
No, the plan is limited to Albania only. Regional eSIM options are available for travelers who need connectivity across multiple Balkan countries.
Which plan size would suit a trip visiting Tirana and Vlorë?
As a rough guide, the 5 GB or 10 GB 30‑day plans typically cover moderate use of maps, social media and occasional streaming for a two‑city itinerary.
Will I lose my own phone number?
No. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls and WhatsApp. The eSIM only carries data, so both work side by side.
When does my plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy it. So you can install it days before you fly without losing any time.
Is my phone compatible?
Most phones from 2018 onwards are: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, you have eSIM. Full list on our Device Compatibility page.
How fast will I get my QR code?
Usually within a couple of minutes of payment, by email. If it has not arrived, check spam first, then write to us and we will resend it immediately.
Can I use hotspot or tethering?
Yes, on every plan we sell. Share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or the rest of your group.
What if I change my mind?
If you have not installed the eSIM, you get a full refund within 180 days. Once a profile is activated and data has been used it cannot be refunded — the allowance is consumed from the network. Full detail in our Refund Policy.
Do you sell plans for groups?
Yes. For Umrah and Hajj groups, student trips and tour operators we deliver the QR codes as a single batch before departure, at group rates. Email us with your group size and destination.
