Crossing from Croatia into Montenegro, or Bulgaria into Greece? Pick your plan by days and data. - **A three-day hop from Dubrovnik to Kotor:** for standard use, take 1 GB a day for 3 days, which covers Croatia and Montenegro on one plan. - **A week from Sofia to Athens:** standard use suits 5 GB for 30 days, so the plan lasts beyond your trip, and heavy use (streaming) takes 2 GB a day for 7 days. - **Two weeks from Split to Kotor:** on standard use, take 10 GB for 30 days. Most plans can be topped up, so you can add data later if you need it. - **A trip to Greece alone:** the [Greece eSIM](/esim/greece) suits a stay in Athens, Santorini or Crete, with no border to cross. ## Which countries and networks does the Balkans eSIM cover? Seven countries, one eSIM, and six of them have 5G. From the Black Sea coast in Bulgaria to the islands of Greece, your phone picks up a local network as you go. Here's who you'll connect with in some of the main stops: - **Croatia:** A1 and Tele2 - **Greece:** Vodafone and Wind - **Montenegro:** m:tel CG, T-Mobile and Telenor - **Serbia:** mts, Telenor and VIP Cross a border and your phone switches to the new network on its own, so you don't have to touch a thing. Your data reaches the internet through the United Kingdom or Norway, a normal setup for travel eSIMs. Read more about [IP addresses abroad](/help/ip-address-another-country). ## Crossing the Balkans on one eSIM: what to know - **Install once, then cross borders:** Install your eSIM before you fly, then keep [data roaming](/help/turn-on-data-roaming) switched on for the eSIM line at every border. One eSIM covers all seven countries, so you never swap SIMs on the way. - **Ride apps by country:** In Greece, Uber and FREE NOW are the ones to download. Croatia has Uber and Bolt, while Bolt is the one for Albania and Bulgaria. - **Messaging:** WhatsApp and Viber are the apps to have in Croatia, Albania, Bulgaria and Montenegro, and Greece adds Messenger to that. - **Keep your home number:** Keep your home number for calls and texts, and read how [WhatsApp](/help/keep-whatsapp-and-home-number) fits alongside it. - **Top up on the go:** Most plans can be topped up, so you can add data mid-trip if your route runs longer than you planned. ## Questions ### How much is an eSIM for the Balkans?
