673 of these 1261 plans were checked against the seller's own shop on 16 October 2026. The rest come from the seller's own feed or plan pages and are not yet independently checked.
The Watchdog Pick is chosen automatically: the lowest real price per GB of the 1261 plans in this view. Bulk data pools above 50 GB cannot win it, because their per GB rate only exists if you use data no traveller uses. Providers cannot pay for it, and a commission never changes the ranking. Prices are shown in USD and can change at checkout.
Price per GB counts only data you can use inside the validity, at most 3 GB a day, so a big pool on a short validity cannot buy the top spot. Every provider's best two plans come first, then the rest. A plan marked Unverified price undercuts every other provider here by more than half and waits at the end until we have checked it on the seller's site. How we rank
Unlimited rows show the daily amount at full speed. Some rows also show the speed after that amount. A row with no speed does not mean the plan stays fast, so check the plan on the seller's site.
Some links here earn us a commission. It never changes the order. How we make money The row marked Sponsored is a paid placement shown above the ranking, not part of it. Advertise here.

Cheapest eSIM for North Macedonia: the numbers
As of 16 October 2026, 06:08 GMT, the cheapest eSIM for North Macedonia is Horizon eSIM with 1 GB for 7 Days at $0.28. That is $0.28 per GB, the best rate of the 1261 plans we compare from 57 providers. 688 plans include 5G. 542 support top ups. That timestamp is the exact moment of our latest price check, and the table above always shows the live order.
Which is the best eSIM for North Macedonia?
There is no single best eSIM for North Macedonia, because the right plan depends on how long you stay and how much data you use. What we can do is rank the 1261 plans on the numbers, as they stand on 16 October 2026:
- Best value overall Horizon eSIM, 1 GB for 7 Days at $0.28. That is $0.28 per GB, the lowest real rate of every North Macedonia plan we track.
- Best for a long stay Wanderly, 50 GB for 30 Days at $27.99, $0.56 per GB. The best rate among plans that last 30 days or more.
- Highest daily cap on an unlimited plan SimSmash, 1 Day at $9.99, full speed up to 10 GB a day. Set that daily cap against the fixed plan above before you pay for the word unlimited.
None of these picks is chosen by a person. Each one is the first row of a sort on live prices, so it changes whenever a provider moves a price, and Horizon eSIM did not pay to be named here.
Which mobile networks does North Macedonia have?
4G reaches 99.9 percent of the population on Makedonski Telekom and 99.8 percent on A1, and the median mobile download speed was 149.22 Mbps in late 2025, the fastest of the Western Balkans.
- Makedonski Telekom: Makedonski Telekom, part of Deutsche Telekom, launched 5G in February 2022 and its 4G covers 99.9 percent of the population.
- A1 Macedonia: A1, part of Telekom Austria Group, holds the largest subscriber share at around 52 percent and covers 99.8 percent of the population with 4G.
- Mtel: Mtel, a Telekom Srbija subsidiary, is the newest entrant and started mobile services at the end of 2022.
Mtel grew out of the former Lycamobile MVNO business, which Telekom Srbija took over and relaunched, so the old Lycamobile operation no longer exists as a separate brand.
The eSIM plans we compare on this page connect to:
The list above is North Macedonia's operator market. The badges are the networks our tracked plans actually roam onto, which can be a subset of it, and the same network is sometimes sold to roaming partners under a different brand name. So a guide praising an operator you do not see badged here is describing a local SIM, not the travel eSIMs compared above.
Is 5G available in North Macedonia?
5G launched in 2022 and spread fast. Makedonski Telekom reported 82 percent 5G population coverage across 26 cities by 2024, and in Q2 2023 North Macedonia posted the highest median 5G download speed in Central and Eastern Europe at 317.91 Mbps.
How much data do you need in North Macedonia?
Light use is about 500 MB a day. That covers maps, messages, and some browsing. Normal use with photos, social apps, and short videos runs 1 to 1.5 GB a day. Streaming and hotspot use can eat 2 to 3 GB a day. Here is what each size costs in North Macedonia right now:
Are unlimited eSIMs for North Macedonia really unlimited?
Not always. 531 of the 1261 plans above are sold as unlimited, and most of them carry a daily fair use cap. A further 9 plans are unlimited in a different way: one capped speed for the whole plan, shown next to the word Unlimited in the table. For North Macedonia the caps we can see published are 0.5 to 10 GB a day: past that the speed drops, often to 1 Mbps or less, until the clock resets. That is fine for messages and maps, slow for video. At $0.28 per GB from Horizon eSIM, a fixed plan often works out cheaper than unlimited unless you genuinely burn several GB a day. That is why we rank by price per GB and not by the word on the label.
Here is what each seller on this page actually allows per day before it slows you down. No seller publishes this next to its rivals, which is exactly why it is worth showing.
Every seller that publishes a daily allowance is listed on our daily data caps page, with the cheapest plan at each one. The gap between the top and bottom of that table is the whole point. Two plans both sold as unlimited can differ several times over in what you actually get at full speed, and the cheaper one is not always the smaller allowance.
eSIM or a local SIM card at the airport in North Macedonia?
An eSIM is ready before you land. No queue, no shop, no handing over your passport at a counter for a tourist SIM card. Data for North Macedonia starts at $0.28 on this page, which is hard for airport kiosks to beat. A local SIM still makes sense if you need a local phone number or plan to stay for months. For a normal trip, the eSIM wins on price and effort.
Setting up your North Macedonia eSIM
Pick the plan, not the brandThe cheapest rate in North Macedonia today is $0.28 per GB from Horizon eSIM, against a median of $2.35. The QR code arrives by email within minutes of paying.
Install before you flyScan the QR code on wifi at home. Installation needs a connection, and the one thing you will not have when you land in North Macedonia is a working connection.
Turn it on when you landEnable the eSIM and turn on data roaming for it, then give it a minute to attach to A1, A1 MK, A1 mk, Telekom.mk, vip. Expect 5G where the network reaches, 4G everywhere else.
Know what happens when it runs out542 of the 1261 plans here can be topped up, so running out is not the end of the trip. If you would rather over buy than top up, the cheapest plan with at least 5 GB is ASIMGO at $4.04.
Good to know before you land in North Macedonia
North Macedonia is not in the EU, so EU roam like home does not apply and EU SIMs can charge high roaming rates here. The country is part of the Western Balkans roaming-free zone, so SIMs from Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo, Montenegro and Serbia work at home rates. SIMs must be registered to your name, so bring your passport.
Skopje Airport has a single mobile shop selling Telekom and sometimes A1 prepaid SIMs, at higher prices and with less data than city stores. Telekom's tourist SIM costs about 300 MKD for 10 GB over 14 days, and A1 sells 299 MKD packs with 100 GB for 14 days in town.
Skip the airport shop if you can and buy in central Skopje, where the same operators sell far bigger bundles for the same money. Registration takes 5 to 10 minutes in a store.
North Macedonia Travel eSIM FAQ
Everything you need to know about using an eSIM in North Macedonia
What is the cheapest eSIM for North Macedonia?
Right now the cheapest option ranked by price per GB is Horizon eSIM with 1 GB for 7 Days at $0.28. That works out to $0.28 per GB. Prices change often, so the table above is re-sorted at every price check.
Which is the best eSIM for North Macedonia?
It depends on the trip, so we rank rather than pick a favourite. On today's prices the best value for North Macedonia is Horizon eSIM at $0.28 per GB, the lowest real rate of the 1261 plans we compare. For heavy daily use there are 531 unlimited plans, most with a daily fair use cap, and they only win if you genuinely burn several GB a day. Every pick on this page is the first row of a sort on live prices. No provider can pay to be named best.
Is eSIM available in North Macedonia?
Yes. We track 1261 prepaid travel eSIM plans from 57 providers that work in North Macedonia, roaming onto A1, A1 MK, A1 mk, Telekom.mk, vip. You need a phone that supports eSIM and is not locked to a carrier; most iPhones from the XS onward and most flagship Android phones from 2019 on qualify.
Which networks will my eSIM connect to in North Macedonia?
The plans we compare connect to A1, A1 MK, A1 mk, Telekom.mk, vip. The exact network depends on the plan you pick. Check the plan details before you buy if one network matters to you.
Do North Macedonia eSIMs support 5G?
688 of the 1261 plans we track for North Macedonia include 5G where the local network offers it. The rest run on 4G, which is still fine for maps, calls over apps, and video.
Can I buy a North Macedonia eSIM online before I travel?
Yes, and you should. Every plan on this page is sold online and delivered by email as a QR code within minutes. Install it on wifi at home, leave the line switched off, and turn on data roaming for it when you land in North Macedonia. The validity clock on most plans only starts when the eSIM first connects.
Can I top up my North Macedonia eSIM if I run out?
Yes. 542 of the 1261 plans here support top ups, so you can add data without buying a new eSIM. The rest need a fresh plan once the data ends.
Is an eSIM cheaper than a local SIM card in North Macedonia?
For a trip of days or weeks, usually yes. Data for North Macedonia starts at $0.28 for 1 GB on this page, with no queue, no shop and no passport handed over at a counter. A local SIM card can still win if you stay for months or need a local phone number.
Will I still receive bank SMS and OTP codes?
Yes, if you keep your home SIM active. Travel eSIMs are data only. Your phone can hold both at once, so leave your normal SIM on for SMS and use the eSIM for data. Turn off roaming data on the home SIM to avoid charges.
Do these eSIMs include a phone number or calls?
The plans we compare are data only, so there is no local number. Calls work fine over WhatsApp, FaceTime, or any app that uses data. If you need a real local number, a local SIM is the better tool.
Does a North Macedonia eSIM work on iPhone and Android?
Yes, on any carrier unlocked phone with eSIM support: iPhone XS or newer, Google Pixel 3 or newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 or newer and most recent flagships. The plans are identical on both; only the install steps differ, and both take about a minute on wifi.
How many GB do I need for a week in North Macedonia?
Around 3 to 5 GB covers a week of maps, messaging, and normal browsing. Heavy video or hotspot use needs 1 to 2 GB per day. Today the cheapest plan with at least 5 GB is ASIMGO at $4.04.
Which North Macedonia eSIM gives the most data per day?
Of the plans sold as unlimited here, SimSmash allows the most at full speed, 10 GB a day from $9.99. The smallest allowance on this page is 500 MB a day, from 7 sellers. Every one of them is advertised as unlimited, and past the daily allowance the speed drops, often to 1 Mbps or less, until the next day. Check the allowance, not the word.
