## Networks

- Kosovo: Vala (4G)

## Which Kosovo eSIM plan fits your trip?

Your eSIM runs on Vala, a 4G network, so pick your plan by how long you're there and how much you'll use.

- **A city break in Pristina:** Three days of light use, such as maps, messages and email, suits 1 GB for 7 days.
- **A fortnight touring Prizren, Peja, Gjakova and Mitrovica:** Fourteen days of standard use, with social media, music and some video, suits 10 GB for 30 days.
- **A month-long stay:** Thirty days of standard use suits 20 GB for 30 days.
- **A trip that takes in a neighbour:** Seven days of standard use suits 5 GB for 30 days here, and the [Global bundle for 117 countries](/esim/global-117-countries) also covers Kosovo.

Every plan can be topped up, and the longest plan runs for 30 days.

## Will my eSIM have signal in Kosovo?

Your eSIM joins Vala, Kosovo's network, and your phone picks it up by itself. Vala runs on 4G rather than 5G, which is plenty for maps, messages and browsing.

Your data reaches the internet through the United States, a normal setup for travel eSIMs. The [IP help page](/help/ip-address-another-country) explains what that means in practice.

Daily plans slow to a much lower speed once you pass the day's allowance, so pick a size that fits your days. WhatsApp and Viber both work for messages on the go.

## Using your phone in Kosovo: data tips

- **Land at Pristina (PRN):** Install your eSIM at home on Wi-Fi first, then switch it on when you land. Turn on data roaming for the eSIM line, and the [step-by-step help](/help/turn-on-data-roaming) walks you through it.
- **Your network:** Your eSIM connects through Vala on 4G, and there's no 5G to look for here.
- **Picking data:** A week of light use, with maps, messages and email, is about 1.8 GB. A week of standard use, with social media, music and some video, is about 4.9 GB.
- **Topping up:** Every plan can be topped up, so if your trip runs longer than planned, you can add data without buying a new eSIM.
- **Staying in touch:** Message friends on WhatsApp or Viber, and keep your home number on for calls and texts. The [WhatsApp help page](/help/keep-whatsapp-and-home-number) shows you how to set both up on your phone.

## Questions

### How much is an eSIM for Kosovo?

Kosovo eSIMs start at £8.99 for 1 GB over 7 days. A 5 GB plan for 30 days costs £36.99. Prices include any taxes and show in pounds, euros or dollars.

### Which networks does the Kosovo eSIM use?

Your eSIM connects to Vala in Kosovo. Your phone picks the strongest signal automatically.

### When does my Kosovo eSIM start?

Most plans start the moment your eSIM first connects to a network in Kosovo, so you can buy and install it at home before you fly. Install it within 180 days of buying.

### Can I top up my Kosovo eSIM?

Yes. Most Kosovo plans can be topped up from your eSIM page in two taps, with no new QR code. The plan table on this page shows which ones.

### Why does my IP address show another country?

Kosovo plans route your data through United States, a normal setup for travel eSIMs. Websites and apps may show that country's content; your speed and coverage in Kosovo are not affected.

### Does it come with a phone number?

Every eSIMology plan is data only. Keep your own SIM switched on for calls and texts, and use WhatsApp, FaceTime or any calling app over your eSIM's data.

### What if my plans change?

Cancel an eSIM you haven't installed within 30 days for a full refund to your card, in two taps from your eSIM page.

### Is there 5G in Kosovo with an eSIM?

No, your eSIM runs on 4G in Kosovo, not 5G, through the Vala network. That's plenty for maps, messages and photo uploads while you explore Pristina.

### Does WhatsApp work in Kosovo with an eSIM?

Yes. WhatsApp and Viber are the two messaging apps to have ready in Kosovo, and both run over your eSIM's mobile data. Keep [data roaming](/help/turn-on-data-roaming) switched on so your messages come through as you move about.

### Which airport do I fly into for Kosovo?

Pristina Airport (PRN) is your gateway to Kosovo. Install your eSIM before you fly, so there's nothing to set up in arrivals while you find your bags.

### Can I use maps in Prizren, Peja and Gjakova?

Yes, maps run on your mobile data, but signal can change from one town to the next. Download offline maps for Prizren, Peja or Gjakova before you set off, so a quiet road never leaves you guessing.

### Do I need a daily data plan for Kosovo?

Only if you'll use a lot of data each day. Daily allowances run from 1 GB to 10 GB a day, and once the day's allowance is used, speeds drop, so pick a size that matches your habits.

### Which eSIM covers Kosovo and other countries?

A Global bundle does. The [Global 117-country eSIM](/esim/global-117-countries) also covers Kosovo, so one eSIM can take you further on a wider trip, and it's a sensible pick if you're visiting more than one country.
