Your EU Plan Still Charges Roaming in North Macedonia, Which Is the Whole Case for a North Macedonia eSIM
This is the rare page where the reason to buy is a fact about someone else policy rather than about our product. Skopje, Ohrid, Bitola and Tetovo are reached without any of them costing more than another. Whether you need that purchase depends on where your own SIM was issued. If your search was Bitola eSIM, or Tetovo eSIM, both end at the list below.
Compare Every Plan for North Macedonia
The plan list above shows every North Macedonia plan we sell, and it counts both country only plans and wider regional plans that include North Macedonia, because you can buy either from this page. Prices and lengths come from the live list and change when suppliers reprice.
Roamify: the cheapest data and the cheapest entry
The lowest rate per gigabyte on this page and the lowest entry price with it, across the full spread of lengths, with unlimited options available.
Airalo: the widest unlimited choice
More unlimited plans than anything else on this page. Its entry price sits above the cheapest here and its rate per gigabyte lands mid table, over lengths that run to six months.
Esimaccess: a single week long card
One card holding one gigabyte for a week, which is why its entry price and its rate per gigabyte are the same figure. The dearest rate among the main cards, and no unlimited option.
Telcovision: the outlier
Entry here starts many times above the cheapest entry on this page.
The EU Roaming Area Does Not Cover This Country Yet
If you are travelling on an EU SIM and assuming roam like at home applies, it does not. What does apply is a capped and falling charge, described below.
Negotiations have not started
On 25 February 2026 the European Commission asked the Council for a mandate to open negotiations with six Western Balkan countries, North Macedonia among them, on extending the free roaming area. That is a request to begin talks, not an agreement. Until something is signed and in force, an EU SIM is roaming abroad here on commercial terms.
The stated target is 2028
The Commission has talked about removing charges entirely by 2028, with the earliest arrangements possibly landing in Montenegro and Albania first. For a trip taken now, that timetable does not help you.
Charges did fall on 1 October 2023, even though free roaming has not arrived
The European Commission records that from 1 October 2023 data roaming between the EU and the Western Balkans became more affordable, after 38 telecommunications operators from both sides voluntarily agreed to reduce charges, supported by the Regional Cooperation Council. Further reductions are planned for 2026, with a 2028 target at which prices should be close to domestic. So the choice is not between free and punishing; it is between a capped roaming charge and the cards on this page.
If Your SIM Is Not From the EU, This Section Is Not About You
The roaming point above cuts both ways, so it is worth checking your own tariff before comparing the cards.
Check your own tariff first
Some operators outside the EU include the Western Balkans in a travel bundle, and some do not. Five minutes with your own tariff is worth more than anything we can tell you, and if it is already covered, do not buy from us.
Which North Macedonian Network You Get, and Why We Will Not Say
The standard question, and the standard honest answer.
Left unstated across the whole list
No supplier here publishes which North Macedonian network a plan roams onto, and it can change without notice.
Ohrid, Skopje and the Drive Between Them
Most visitors do the capital and the lake, and that is a single plan either way.
No separate city product
Skopje, Ohrid, Bitola and Tetovo are not priced apart. Ohrid has its own page on this site and it sells this same country plan.
What no one measures
How the signal behaves on the mountain roads between them is not something any supplier publishes, so there is no coverage section on this page. Download the map before the drive rather than during it.
Two Things to Settle Before Skopje
Two steps, both easier at home than at the border.
Install before departure
Download and install the eSIM on a connection you trust. Activating on arrival is fine, installing on arrival is not.
Check the handset
The phone has to support eSIM and be unlocked. Our device list covers the models that do.
