Where does the eSIM work in North Macedonia?
Coverage is strong in Skopje, Ohrid, and Bitola and along main roads.
Does EU roaming cover North Macedonia?
No. North Macedonia is outside the EU “Roam like at home” area, so EU phone plans may charge roaming fees there. A prepaid eSIM keeps the cost fixed and known in advance.
Can I use the same eSIM in North Macedonia and nearby countries?
Yes. Regional plans (Balkans, Global Lite, and Global Package) cover North Macedonia and other countries on one eSIM, so you do not need a new one at each border.

The eSIM connects to A1 Macedonia and T-Mobile Macedonia and switches to the best available network automatically.

For maps, messaging and social media, 1 to 3 GB per week is usually enough. If you make video calls, stream or work online, choose 5 GB or more, or an unlimited plan.
Can I buy my North Macedonia eSIM before I travel?
Yes, and it is the best option: install it at home over Wi-Fi. The plan only starts when your phone first connects to a network in North Macedonia.
Will WhatsApp still work with my usual number?
Yes. WhatsApp stays linked to your number. Keep your regular SIM on for calls and SMS if you want, and use the eSIM for data.
