Your Montenegro eSIM in two questions
Which Montenegro eSIM plan do I need?
Match your plan to how long you stay and what you do on your phone. Here's how that works on four trips:
- A three-day city break in Kotor: wander the streets, post a few photos and check the map. Choose 2 GB for 15 days.
- Two weeks touring Budva, Podgorica and Žabljak: messages, maps and social media every day. Choose 10 GB for 30 days.
- A month-long stay in Herceg Novi: a steady mix of messages, email, music and some video. Choose 20 GB for 30 days.
- Montenegro and a neighbour: the Balkans eSIM covers seven countries, Montenegro among them, so one bundle can take you further.
Most plans can be topped up if your stay runs longer, and the longest plan lasts 30 days.

These eSIMs cover Montenegro and more countries on one plan.
Will my eSIM have signal in Montenegro?
Your eSIM joins two networks in Montenegro, m:tel CG and T-Mobile. Montenegro has 5G, so your phone will use it where it's available, and it picks between m:tel CG and T-Mobile by itself, so there's no switching to do.
Your data reaches the internet through a United Kingdom IP route, which is a normal setup for travel eSIMs; the IP address guide explains it. On daily plans, speed drops to a fair-use level once that day's allowance is used up. WhatsApp and Viber messages use your mobile data, so you'll stay in touch.
