What Is a Europe eSIM and Which Countries It Covers?
A Balkans eSIM installs once and gives a phone mobile data across several countries, but the countries are disputed. Ask what counts as the best eSIM for the Balkans, and the answer ranges from 7 countries to 11 to 12, depending on the provider. This page checks every Balkan countries eSIM list against the others, covers Balkan Peninsula coverage gaps, and names who sells a genuine Serbia Croatia Albania eSIM.
Which eSIM providers cover Balkans?
Several established eSIM brands sell Balkans-wide plans, though exact country counts and network partners vary by provider. Compare current pricing and data allowances below.
How Many Countries Does a Balkans eSIM Actually Cover?
Four providers sell a plan under a Balkans-style regional name, and no two of them define the region the same way. iRoamly’s Balkan Peninsula eSIM covers 7 countries, Serbia, Romania, Croatia, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, and Albania, and excludes Greece, Turkey, Montenegro, and North Macedonia entirely. Yesim’s Balkans eSIM and Asimgo’s Balkans (11 Countries) eSIM both cover 11 countries, adding Greece, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Turkey to iRoamly’s 7. Nomad’s Regional Balkans eSIM covers 12 countries, the same 11 as Yesim and Asimgo plus Hungary, a country not traditionally classified as Balkan.
Yesim’s country list and Asimgo’s country list match exactly, country for country, which points to a shared underlying data source between the two rather than a coincidence. Before buying a Balkans eSIM, the country list matters more than the price tag, since one plan’s Balkans is another plan’s Central Europe. One more thing worth checking before buying: not every plan on this site labeled Balkans is actually a Balkans product.
| Provider | Plan Name | Countries | Country List |
|---|---|---|---|
| iRoamly | Balkan Peninsula | 7 | Serbia, Romania, Croatia, Bulgaria, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Slovenia, Albania |
| Yesim | Balkans | 11 | Above 7 plus Greece, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Turkey |
| Asimgo | Balkans (11 Countries) | 11 | Identical to Yesim's list |
| Nomad | Regional Balkans | 12 | Yesim/Asimgo's 11 plus Hungary |
Is Every "Balkans" eSIM Plan Actually a Balkans-Only Plan?
Alosim sells an eastern europe eSIM that this site’s own region search associates with the Balkans, but Alosim’s country list tells a different story. Alosim’s eastern europe eSIM covers 11 countries, Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Serbia, and Slovakia. Only 4 of those 11 countries, Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia, and Greece, are core Balkan states; the rest sit in Central and Eastern Europe. This is a checkable mislabeling, not a marketing overclaim: the country list is public on Alosim’s own page, and most of it sits nowhere near the Balkan Peninsula. A traveler who wants an actual Balkans eSIM should choose iRoamly, Yesim, Asimgo, or Nomad instead, all four of which are covered below. Kosovo raises a separate problem entirely.
Does Any Balkans eSIM Include Kosovo?
Kosovo does not appear on any of the four dedicated Balkans bundles. iRoamly’s Balkan Peninsula eSIM excludes Kosovo, Yesim’s Balkans eSIM excludes Kosovo, Asimgo’s Balkans (11 Countries) eSIM excludes Kosovo, and Nomad’s Regional Balkans eSIM excludes Kosovo too. This is a market-wide gap across every regional Balkans eSIM checked here, not one provider’s oversight. A traveler with Kosovo on the itinerary needs a separate single-country eSIM for Kosovo specifically, purchased alongside whichever regional Balkans eSIM covers the rest of the trip. Stacking the two profiles, one Kosovo-specific and one regional, is the only way to stay connected across the whole route. With that gap flagged, here is how the four genuine Balkans bundles actually rank on price.
Best Balkans eSIM Plans, Ranked by Price
- Yesim, Balkans eSIM, prices at $0.50 per day for 500MB of data across 11 countries. Best for: the lowest possible daily cost, for a traveler who can live within a 500MB daily allowance for maps and messaging. This is the cheapest entry price of the four.
- Asimgo, Balkans (11 Countries) eSIM, prices at $0.59 per day for unlimited data, the same 11-country list as Yesim. Best for: Yesim’s country coverage without watching a daily data cap. This is the cheapest unlimited option on this list.
- iRoamly, Balkan Peninsula eSIM, prices at $4 per day for unlimited data across 7 countries. Best for: a traveler sticking to the narrower 7-country core of Serbia, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, and Albania, rather than the wider 11 or 12-country lists.
- Nomad, Regional Balkans eSIM, prices at $9 for 7 days and 1GB across 12 countries. Best for: one purchase covering the most ground, Hungary included, for a traveler who wants to avoid buying twice mid-trip. This is the priciest per-day figure here, but it runs the longest single-purchase duration and the widest country list.
Whichever provider gets picked, the eSIM still needs to actually install on the phone being used.
Will My Phone Work With a Balkans eSIM?
A Balkans eSIM needs an eSIM-compatible device to install at all. Apple’s iPhone XR and later support eSIM, as do most eSIM-capable Android phones, including current Samsung and Google Pixel models. Before buying a Balkans eSIM, check the phone’s settings under Cellular or Mobile Network for an Add eSIM option; if it is missing, the device does not support this kind of plan. Confirming that setting first avoids an unusable purchase.

FAQs
Does every "Balkans" eSIM cover the same countries?
No. Country coverage ranges from 7 countries on iRoamly’s Balkan Peninsula eSIM, to 11 countries on both Yesim’s Balkans eSIM and Asimgo’s Balkans (11 Countries) eSIM, up to 12 countries on Nomad’s Regional Balkans eSIM. Check the exact country list before buying, since Balkans means something different to each provider.
Which provider has the cheapest true Balkans coverage right now?
Yesim’s Balkans eSIM currently has the cheapest entry price at $0.50 per day, covering 11 countries with a 500MB daily allowance. Asimgo’s Balkans (11 Countries) eSIM is the cheapest unlimited option at $0.59 per day with the same 11-country list.
Is there a Balkans eSIM that covers Kosovo?
Yesim’s Balkans eSIM currently has the cheapest entry price at $0.50 per day, covering 11 countries with a 500MB daily allowance. Asimgo’s Balkans (11 Countries) eSIM is the cheapest unlimited option at $0.59 per day with the same 11-country list.
Do Balkans eSIMs support voice calls?
No. All four dedicated Balkans eSIM plans checked here, iRoamly, Yesim, Asimgo, and Nomad, are data-only, with no phone number, calls, or SMS included. Travelers use WhatsApp, FaceTime, or a similar app over the data connection instead, while the home SIM stays active for calls and texts.
How long before my trip should I activate it?
Install the Balkans eSIM profile on home Wi-Fi before departure, but leave data roaming off until arrival, since the validity period usually starts on first connection rather than at purchase. Turning on data roaming at the first stop activates the eSIM and connects it to a local network automatically.
