Coverage & network in North Macedonia
North Macedonia is covered by TravelNet’s multi-country plans — each plan on this page lists exactly which countries it includes, and every one of them works in North Macedonia. Install before you fly, and you have data the moment you land.
As a rule of thumb: maps and messaging burn 100–200 MB a day, social media roughly 500 MB an hour, and a video call about 1 GB an hour. A light week fits in a small plan; remote work needs a big one.
Coverage in North Macedonia is 4G/LTE. It handles navigation, messaging, calls over data and streaming without complaint, and it reaches considerably further than any 5G rollout currently does. Tethering is allowed on every North Macedonia plan, so a laptop or a travelling companion can share the connection.
Because these are regional plans, crossing into a neighbouring country usually needs no new eSIM at all — check the coverage list on the plan you pick. The full Europe plan page shows everything the region offers, and Norway, Poland and Portugal have their own pages too.

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.

North Macedonia eSIM questions
Which network does the North Macedonia eSIM use?
We don't publish a single operator name for North Macedonia, because the profile can attach to more than one partner network and picks whichever is strongest where you are. In practice that means you get the best available signal rather than being locked to one operator's weak spots.
Will I get 5G in North Macedonia?
No. North Macedonia plans run on 4G/LTE, which is what the networks cover reliably. For maps, messaging, calls over data and streaming the difference is not something you'll notice.
How much data do I actually need for North Macedonia?
Count on 100–200 MB a day if you're mostly using maps and messaging, and 1 GB an hour once video is involved. Pick the plan one size up from your estimate — running out abroad costs more hassle than the size difference.
When does my North Macedonia plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in North Macedonia, not when you buy it. Install it at home a day or two before you fly — the validity period on the plan you choose runs from arrival, not from checkout.
Why do North Macedonia plans list other countries too?
Because they are regional eSIMs: one profile whose allowance works across every country on its coverage list, North Macedonia included. For a single-country trip nothing changes — install, land, connect. For a multi-country trip it means the same plan keeps working after the border.
Can I use my North Macedonia eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. Tethering is enabled on every North Macedonia 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 North Macedonia?
Yes. Nothing is removed from your phone. The North Macedonia profile is added as a second line and set as the one used for data, while your usual number keeps receiving calls, texts and bank verification codes. Switch data roaming off on the home line before you fly.
Do I need to register or show a passport to use a North Macedonia eSIM?
No. The plan roams on partner networks, 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 North Macedonia?
You can buy another North Macedonia plan from the same page and install it the same way. Plans marked as top-up capable can also be extended without a new QR code.
I'm also visiting Norway and Poland — do I need separate eSIMs?
Check the coverage list on the plan you pick first — many North Macedonia plans are regional and already include the neighbours, in which case one eSIM covers the whole trip. Otherwise the Europe plan does.
Will my phone work with a North Macedonia 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.
