At Roam2Go, the unlimited eSIM for North Macedonia costs €9.95 for 3 days, €15.95 for 5 days and €21.50 for 7 days, VAT included (prices checked on 12 October 2026).

North Macedonia is one of those destinations you visit in just a few days: a long weekend in Skopje, a short break at Lake Ohrid or a quick road trip through the south. For trips like these, a short unlimited plan fits better than working out how many gigabytes you need, because you can use maps, a translator and messaging without having to keep an eye on your data allowance. And there’s one important detail: the country is not in the European Union, so European «roam like at home» rules don’t apply there and many European tariffs charge for roaming.

Why roaming can catch you out here

When you travel within the EU, the data on your usual plan normally works just like at home. In North Macedonia it doesn’t: the country is outside the EU and each provider decides what to charge for roaming data. Some tariffs apply a price per MB, others offer daily bundles and others simply block data until you buy something. It’s worth checking your contract before you leave.

With an eSIM you pay a fixed amount in euros before you fly and forget about roaming conditions. Generally speaking, for a short stay it tends to work out better than your operator’s roaming, and above all it’s more predictable: you know exactly what you’ve paid.

What to do with your usual line

The advice is simple: always route your data through the eSIM. Keep your usual line active only if you want to receive calls or texts, and with roaming data switched off on that line. Since North Macedonia is outside the EU, voice and SMS roaming on your usual provider is often switched off by default (if you want it, you have to ask for it) and, if you do have it enabled, you can be charged both for the calls you make and the ones you receive, as well as for texts. Check before you go so there are no surprises on your bill.

Unlimited plans for North Macedonia: 3, 5 and 7 days

Short durations are the ones that suit most trips to this country. These are the real prices:

• Unlimited 3 days: €9.95 — the entry option, designed for a weekend in Skopje or a short stop on a Balkans route.
• Unlimited 5 days: €15.95 — handy if you combine the capital with Lake Ohrid, with road journeys in between.
• Unlimited 7 days: €21.50 — for a full week, with room to spare if you stay an extra day or have a late return flight.

If your trip is longer, we also have unlimited durations of 10, 15 and 30 days. And if your usage is very light (the occasional map, messaging and little else), the product page has fixed-data plans that may well be enough.

How our unlimited plans work

Each day you get a high-speed data allowance. With that allowance you can browse, use maps, send messages and watch videos as normal. If you use it all up on a given day, you’re not left without a connection: you stay connected at reduced speed until the allowance renews the next day, which is enough for messaging, email and maps. The connection is never cut off while the plan is valid.

If you share your connection from your phone, bear in mind that whatever the other devices use comes out of the same daily high-speed allowance.

On the product page you’ll find more fixed-data options, in case none of these combinations suits you. See the eSIMs for North Macedonia and choose the duration that matches your itinerary.

Which duration to choose for your trip

The practical rule is to count the calendar days you’ll be in the country, including the day you arrive and the day you leave, and go for the next duration up if it’s tight. A flight that lands at night or an early-morning return can leave you short with a 3-day plan, and paying the difference up to the 5-day one usually buys you peace of mind.

As for usage, it depends very much on how you travel. If you’re on maps all day, checking bus timetables, uploading photos and video calling home, unlimited is the comfortable option. If you only check your email and send messages, a fixed-data plan from the product page may be enough.

How to install and activate it

The process is the same as for any other destination: you buy online, receive a QR code by email and scan it from your phone with a wifi connection. Ideally, do it at home a day or two before you fly, and leave the line ready to activate when you land. If you want the screen-by-screen detail, we have guides on activating an eSIM on iPhone and on activating it on Android.

Also check that your phone supports eSIM: most models from recent years do, but it’s worth confirming before you buy. When you get to Skopje or Ohrid, all you’ll need to do is select the eSIM as your data line and start using the map. Buy your eSIM for North Macedonia and leave home with your connection sorted.
