At Roam2Go, the unlimited eSIM for Romania costs €5.50 for 3 days, €7.95 for 5 days and €10.99 for 7 days, VAT included (prices checked on 16 October 2026).

Romania has become a really rewarding weekend break: Bucharest, the castles of Transylvania, Brașov, Sibiu or the Danube Delta. For short trips like these, an unlimited plan saves you having to work out how many GB you’ll get through between maps, bookings and photos. In this guide we go over the 3, 5 and 7-day durations, how they work and who they suit best.

Who an eSIM in Romania makes sense for

Let’s be clear about it: Romania is in the EU and, if your line is European, you already travel there with „roam like at home“. In that case, the eSIM isn’t essential.

That said, there are two profiles where it does make a difference:

• Travellers with a line from outside Europe (US, UK, Latin America, Asia), where roaming data tends to be expensive and the rates none too transparent.
• Anyone who wants unlimited data without eating into the roaming data cap of their plan back home, which on many European tariffs is fairly tight when you’re travelling.

In both cases, the advantage is the same: a fixed price in euros, bought before you leave, with no surprises on next month’s bill. It usually works out better value than your operator’s roaming if you’re coming from outside the EU.

Unlimited plans for Romania: 3, 5 and 7 days

The short durations are the ones that best match the way people travel in Romania: long weekends in Bucharest, four or five-day routes around Transylvania, or a week combining city and mountains.

Which to choose depending on your trip

• 3 days — €5.50. The entry option. Good for a weekend break in Bucharest or Brașov, arriving on Friday and heading back on Sunday.
• 5 days — €7.95. The middle ground for anyone doing a short route with a hire car: Bucharest, Sinaia, Bran and Brașov with time to breathe.
• 7 days — €10.99. A full week, ideal if you’re combining cities with rural areas where an offline map isn’t always enough.

If your trip is longer, the product page also has 10, 15, 20 and 30-day durations. The advice is simple: choose a duration that’s the same length or longer than the days you’ll be in the country, so you don’t run out halfway.

How the connection works on the unlimited plans

This is the question we get most, and it’s worth explaining properly. Each day you have a data allowance at high speed: with it you can browse, use maps, message and watch videos as normal. If you use it up on a given day, the connection isn’t cut off: you stay connected at reduced speed until full speed returns. In that stretch, the connection is enough for messaging, email and maps.

That means you can keep going even if the daily allowance runs out mid-journey, but it is worth being a little mindful of heavy content. If you share the connection with another device (hotspot), bear in mind that it uses the same daily high-speed allowance.

Table of Roam2Go plans for Romania

Roam2Go prices updated on 16 October 2026. They may vary; always check the product page before buying.

The fixed-data plans in the table are a selection: there are more options on the product page. If your usage is light — maps, WhatsApp and the odd search — a GB plan may be enough; if what you want is not to think about it, the short unlimited plans fit better with trips of just a few days.

Unlimited or fixed data: how to decide

There’s no single answer, but there are a couple of easy criteria:

Choose unlimited if…

• You travel with your phone as your GPS all day, especially outside the cities.
• You share photos and videos often, or make video calls home.
• You don’t want to be checking the data counter every night.

Choose fixed data if…

• You’re travelling for work and have wi-fi at the hotel and the office.
• You only need messaging, email and the occasional map.
• You’re staying a long time with very light usage.

Activating it and getting everything ready before you fly

The process is quick: you buy online, receive the QR code by email and install it over wi-fi before you leave. The plan only starts counting when the eSIM connects to a network in Romania, so by the time you land at Otopeni you already have data without hunting for a shop.

If a step-by-step guide would help, we have one on activating it on iPhone and one on activating it on Android. Before buying, check that your phone is eSIM compatible and unlocked.

What to do with your usual line

Data should always go through the Roam2Go eSIM. You only need to keep your usual line active if you want to receive calls or texts, and always with roaming data switched off on that line. As Romania is in the EU, if your line is European, calls and texts work just as they do at home. If your line is from outside Europe, check with your provider: voice and SMS roaming usually comes switched off and you have to request it if you want it, and if you do have it on, you can be charged both for the calls you make and the ones you receive, as well as for texts.
