Romania travel data eSIM
What is a Romania eSIM?
A Romania eSIM lets you arrive in Bucharest, Brașov, Cluj‑Napoca or any other Romanian locale with data already ready to go. Install the eSIM before you depart, keep your home SIM in the device, and when you first connect after landing you’ll have instant access to local mobile data for navigation, booking, and staying in touch throughout your stay.
Once you’re in Romania the eSIM connects to Vodafone 4G or Orange 5G networks, depending on which operator your device selects. Your chosen data allowance—whether 1 GB for a short city break or 20 GB for a longer itinerary—counts from the moment you first use it on Romanian soil.
Local networks
Which networks you connect to in Romania
In Romania the eSIM links to Vodafone’s 4G infrastructure and Orange’s 5G network. The actual reach of service depends on each operator’s own coverage in the area you visit, so you’ll be able to use data wherever the operator’s network is present.
5 plans are available for Romania, from $3.90 up to $19.90. Every plan is data only, delivered by QR code, and starts counting when you connect on arrival.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operators does the Romania eSIM use and what does that mean for a traveller?
The eSIM works with Vodafone 4G and Orange 5G. That gives you access to the networks those carriers operate, so you can use data wherever their infrastructure is available during your stay.
Can the Romania eSIM be used in a neighbouring country, such as Bulgaria?
No, it is a single‑country plan valid only within Romania. For trips that include neighboring states, regional or multi‑country eSIM options are offered separately.
Which plan size suits a trip to Bucharest and Brașov?
As a rough guide, the 5 GB or 10 GB 30‑day plans usually cover a two‑city itinerary, providing enough data for maps, transport apps, and occasional streaming.
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.
