English
An eSIM for Croatia is a digital data plan for the phone you already own. There is no physical SIM card, no airport lines, and no passport needed. Your plan is ready on your SIMAREA account before you even leave home.
It works safely alongside your normal SIM. You keep your own number for calls and important text messages. Your data goes through the SIMAREA plan. Just turn off data roaming on your home SIM to avoid high bills.
Every plan here uses more than one partner network. Your phone joins one when you arrive and can switch to another if the signal weakens.
If you stay longer, top up your current plan with more data. You do not need to buy a new one.
What it is not: a local phone number. If you need a number for verification codes, see virtual numbers.
Croatia eSIM on A1 and Tele2
5GA week in Dubrovnik or a long stay in Zagreb: choose a day pass or up to 50 GB of fixed data, with both networks on all eight plans and days counted from your first connection in Croatia.
The unlimited plan is the day pass we feature for Croatia: after its daily full-speed allowance it keeps you connected at a lower speed, and it is billed per day for the days you choose. Fixed plans are one price for the term shown. Nothing on this page is an estimate.
How to get mobile data in Croatia
Set it up at home the night before. Your eSIM waits quietly until you arrive.
Pick eSIM plan
Choose how long you are there. The day pass is billed per day, so the term is yours to set.
Pay, then scan
Charged from your balance, which you top up with crypto. Your QR code is in your dashboard once the order is paid.
Turn it on when you arrive
Turn on data roaming for your SIMAREA plan when you arrive, and it joins a partner network.
What to know about an eSIM for Croatia
The specifics that decide whether a travel eSIM is useful once you're actually there.
More than one network
Every plan here lists more than one partner network. If one gets weak, your phone can switch to another.
Set up before you go
No SIM card store, no passport check. Install it at home, then turn on data roaming for it when you arrive.
Hotspot sharing
Share your internet with a laptop or a friend, if your plan and phone allow it.
Keep your own number
The eSIM is just for internet. Your normal SIM still receives calls and important bank codes. You can use both at once.
Keep using the same eSIM
Staying longer? Top up the same plan with more data from your dashboard. No need for a new QR code.
If it does not work
Not installed or connected yet? Ask for a refund within 30 days of buying it. Installed but not working on any of its networks? Support helps, and refunds you if it cannot be fixed.
Croatia eSIM plans: two networks, 5G on one
Buy any Croatia eSIM here and it lists A1 and Tele2. On these plans, 5G is listed for Tele2 only; A1 appears without it. The Balkans eSIM and Global 130 rows do show 5G on both.
The eight plans are a day pass (1 GB a day at full speed, then 512 Kbps until the day resets), 1 GB for 7 days, 3 GB for 15 days, 3, 5, 10, or 20 GB for 30 days, and 50 GB for 180 days. Each can be topped up with data on the same eSIM, which doesn't add days. Websites see an address in France, the Netherlands, or the UK.
Crossing from Croatia: which plan names which neighbor
A Croatia plan names Croatia only. For a trip over a border, what matters is the country on the other side:
- Montenegro, Dubrovnik to Kotor: on the Balkans eSIM and Global 130, and on no Europe list.
- Bosnia and Herzegovina, Split to Mostar: Global 130 is the only multi-country plan that names it. The Balkans plan's seven countries and the Europe lists don't, so the other route is a separate plan for that country.
- Slovenia, Hungary, or Italy: on every Europe eSIM list and Global 130, and not on the Balkans plan.
- Serbia: on the Balkans eSIM, the two 41-country Europe lists, and Global 130.
What changes on a Balkans or Europe plan
Every multi-country plan keeps A1 and Tele2 for your days in Croatia; the terms around them differ. The Balkans eSIM tops out at 20 GB for 30 days, exits through the UK or Norway, and has a day pass that drops to 384 Kbps, not the 512 Kbps on this page. The Europe 31-country list is the one that adds T-Mobile in Croatia, on 31-day rows that start at installation and can't be topped up.
Questions about a Croatia eSIM
Will a Croatia eSIM work in Bosnia and Herzegovina or Montenegro?
Neither is named on a Croatia plan, which lists Croatia alone. Use Global 130 for both, the Balkans eSIM for Montenegro, or add a plan for that country.
Does the eSIM come with a Croatian phone number?
No, this is a data-only eSIM. You keep your usual number on your regular SIM. For receiving SMS on a rented number, browse virtual numbers.
Is the Croatia day pass unlimited?
It runs at full speed for the first 1 GB each day, then at 512 Kbps until the day resets, so the allowance is what limits it.
How long does the longest Croatia plan last?
180 days, with 50 GB. Topping up adds data to it but not time. Don't confuse that term with the validity of an unused plan, which is also 180 days: the term itself begins only at the first connection in Croatia.
Can I share data with a laptop or a second phone?
Yes, if your plan and phone allow it. Whatever you share counts against the plan's data.
Can I get a refund if I end up not traveling?
On request, within 30 days of purchase, as long as the eSIM hasn't been installed or connected. After it's installed or used, it isn't refundable.
