Romania eSIM: what to know before you travel
Which Romania eSIM plan should you choose?
Budget around 1 GB per week if you stick to maps, messaging and bookings. For a typical one- to two-week trip with social media, photos uploaded each evening and the odd video call, 5 to 10 GB is the right size. Beyond that — remote work, streaming, sharing your connection with the family — go for 20 GB or an unlimited plan. Picked the wrong one? It doesn't matter: the eSIM is rechargeable, so you add data mid-trip without reinstalling anything.
How much does a Romania eSIM cost?
Plans for Romania start at $1.90, and the price table above lists every option with its data, validity and exact price — no surprise charges when you land. The comparison that matters isn't with a local SIM card, it's with your operator's roaming: a few dollars for the whole trip instead of a bill calculated per megabyte. What you see is what you pay, once, and the eSIM never auto-renews.
Do you need a QR code to install your Romania eSIM?
No — and this is exactly the part travellers dread for no reason. Your confirmation email contains a Quick Install link: open it on the phone you're taking with you, tap once, and iOS (17.4 and later) opens the eSIM installer with every setting already filled in. No second screen, no camera, no typing an SM-DP+ address. The QR code and manual setup are still in the same email if you prefer the classic method or you're on Android.
Can you top up your eSIM once you are there?
Yes, and that is the real difference from an airport SIM card. If your data runs out halfway through your trip, you open the top-up page with your order number, pick a new package, and the data lands on the eSIM you already installed within seconds. Nothing to reinstall, no shop to find, no ID to show. Your usual number also stays active on your physical SIM throughout the trip: calls, texts and banking verification codes keep arriving as normal.
Romania: detailed coverage
Few countries change character as quickly as Romania does over a few hours of driving. Bucharest's old town gives way to the Carpathian towns of Brașov, Sibiu and Sighișoara; north of them stand the wooden churches of Maramureș, and east lies the Danube Delta, where roads simply end and boats take over. Along the way you are checking train times, castle opening hours and whether the mountain road has opened for the season.
Fixed instead of metered. Roaming turns a varied trip into a variable bill. A Romania eSIM settles it in advance, whatever the fortnight ends up looking like.
Rough figures. Four days in Bucharest and Brașov typically stay under 3 GB. Two weeks adding Maramureș, the painted monasteries of Bucovina and a few mountain days reach 6-10 GB. Long stays, remote work and evening streaming point to 20 GB or more.
- Cities and valleys — Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Timișoara, Brașov, Sibiu, Constanța and the Prahova valley — have strong service.
- High roads and the delta do not. The Transfăgărășan and Transalpina, the Făgăraș and Retezat ridges, and the channels beyond Crișan in the Danube Delta are effectively offline.
- Two seasonal roads. Both great mountain routes open only for the warmer months, so check the day's status before committing to a long detour.
Trains are slow, and that is rather the point. The lines climbing out of the Prahova valley pass scenery worth the extra hours, but journeys take longer than a map suggests and connections are best confirmed on the morning of travel. Many travellers pair one long rail day with a hire car for Maramureș and the approach to the delta.
Keep your usual number. The plan provides data, so texts, calls and bank verification codes continue to arrive on the SIM you already have.
Pick a plan below to fit the fortnight — Carpathian towns, delta channels, or both in one run.

FAQ
Romania eSIM — frequently asked questions
How do I install my Romania eSIM?
Your Romania eSIM arrives by email right after payment, as a QR code. Scan it from your phone settings (Add eSIM), turn on data roaming for the new line, and you’re connected. No QR handy? Use the quick-install link included in the same email.
Follow the visual walkthrough: iPhone guide · Samsung / Android guide.
When should I install it before my trip?
Ideally at home, before you fly — the plan only starts on arrival, once data roaming is on. You have up to 180 days after purchase to activate it, so buying early costs you nothing.
Which networks will my eSIM use?
On arrival, your eSIM connects automatically to Digi.Mobil, Orange, Vodafone — no manual setup needed. The full coverage details are listed in the Description tab above.
How long do the Romania plans last?
The plans on this page are valid for: 7 DAYS, 30 DAYS, 15 DAYS. The clock starts at activation on arrival, not at checkout — with a 180-day window to activate after purchase.
Can I add more data later?
Yes — this eSIM is rechargeable. Head to the recharge page with your order number, choose a package, and the data lands on your existing eSIM in seconds. No new installation needed.
How can I see how much data is left?
Enter your order number on the recharge & usage page to view your remaining balance and every plan linked to your eSIM.
Does hotspot / tethering work?
It does — turn your phone into a Wi-Fi hotspot and share your data with a laptop, tablet or travel buddy.
What if I run out of data?
Your eSIM simply goes offline — never a surprise bill. Recharge it in a few seconds from the recharge page and you’re back online on the same eSIM.
Will WhatsApp and my usual number keep working?
Absolutely. Your home SIM stays in place for calls, SMS and your WhatsApp account, while the eSIM quietly carries your internet. Remember to switch off data on your home line to dodge roaming fees.
How does unlimited data work here?
Unlimited plans are built for normal travel use — maps, socials, streaming in moderation. Very heavy usage (large downloads, constant background streaming) may be slowed under the fair-use policy. Read the full policy.
