Coverage & network in Cyprus
Cyprus is straightforward for eSIM travellers — the eSIM attaches to Cyta, coverage follows the cities and main routes, and the plan runs on the phone already in your pocket.
Plans run from $6 for 1 GB over 7 days up to $45.50 for 20 GB over 30 days. On a week-long trip, maps, messaging and a normal amount of scrolling usually fit inside the 3 GB plan.
5G is live in Cyprus, and the eSIM will use it wherever your handset and the network both support it. Away from the cities you’ll drop to 4G/LTE, which is what most of the country actually runs on. Tethering is allowed on every Cyprus plan, so a laptop or a travelling companion can share the connection.
Crossing borders on the same trip? The Europe plan covers 47 destinations on one profile from $7.50. Otherwise there are separate plans for North Macedonia from $9, Northern Cyprus from $8.50 and Norway from $6.50.
How to install it
- 1
Buy in a minute
Pick a Cyprus plan and pay. Your QR code arrives by email in seconds — no account, no shipping.
- 2
Install on Wi-Fi
Scan the code before you fly. The profile sits alongside your normal SIM and stays switched off until you need it.
- 3
Land connected
Turn on data roaming for the TravelNet line when you arrive. The plan starts counting down on that first connection, not at checkout.
Will my phone work?
You need an eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked phone: an iPhone XS or newer, a Pixel 3 or
newer, or a recent Samsung Galaxy S, Z or A-series flagship. Dial *#06# — if
an EID number is listed alongside the IMEI, the phone has an eSIM.
Travelling beyond Cyprus?
One Europe plan covers 47 countries from $7.50 — worth it from the third border.
Cyprus eSIM questions
Which network does the Cyprus eSIM use?
Cyta. It is one of Cyprus's main mobile networks, so coverage matches what local subscribers get rather than a thin roaming-only footprint.
Will I get 5G in Cyprus?
Yes, where Cyta has deployed it and your phone supports it. Outside those areas the eSIM falls back to 4G/LTE automatically — you won't need to change any setting.
How much data do I actually need for Cyprus?
As a rough guide: navigation and messaging burn around 100–200 MB a day, social media roughly 500 MB an hour, and video calls about 1 GB an hour. A short trip fits inside the 3 GB plan ($12); a fortnight of heavier use is closer to 10 GB ($27.50).
When does my Cyprus plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Cyprus, not when you buy it. Install it at home a day or two before you fly — the 1 GB plan then gives you 7 days from arrival and the larger plans 30 days.
Can I use my Cyprus eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. Tethering is enabled on every Cyprus plan, so you can share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or someone travelling with you. Hotspot data comes out of the same allowance.
Can I keep my own phone number while I'm in Cyprus?
Yes — that's the main reason to use an eSIM rather than a local SIM. Your home line stays active for calls, SMS and two-factor codes; the Cyprus eSIM sits alongside it as a data-only line. Leave data roaming off for your home line to avoid a surprise bill.
Do I need to register or show a passport to use a Cyprus eSIM?
No. The plan roams on a partner network, so there's no local SIM registration, no ID upload and no shop visit. You buy it, scan the QR code, and it works on arrival.
What happens if I run out of data in Cyprus?
You can top up from the same page — buy another Cyprus plan and it queues behind the current one on the same eSIM profile. There's no need to reinstall anything or scan a second QR code.
I'm also visiting North Macedonia and Northern Cyprus — do I need separate eSIMs?
Not necessarily. The Europe plan covers 47 destinations including Cyprus on a single profile from $7.50. If Cyprus is the bulk of the trip, a country plan plus a top-up is usually cheaper; if you're crossing several borders, the regional plan wins.
Will my phone work with a Cyprus eSIM?
If it's an iPhone XS or newer, a Pixel 3 or newer, or a recent Samsung Galaxy S, Z or A-series flagship, almost certainly — and it must be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# and look for an EID number: if one is listed, the phone has an eSIM. Our compatibility list has the full set.
