English
An eSIM for Moldova 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.
Coverage comes from Orange, the one network these plans use. Your phone connects to it when you arrive.
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.
Moldova eSIM on Orange
5GOne network, Orange, on all seven plans, for a trip to Chisinau or a wider route with Romania. Days are counted from the first connection in Moldova.
The unlimited plan is the day pass we feature for Moldova: 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 Moldova
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 Moldova
The specifics that decide whether a travel eSIM is useful once you're actually there.
Runs on Orange
Plans for Moldova connect to Orange. Your phone joins it once data roaming is on for the eSIM.
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.
Moldova eSIM plans on Orange
Orange is the one network on all seven Moldova plans, and each plan lists 5G on it. You choose between a day pass, which gives 1 GB a day at full speed and 512 Kbps after that until the day resets, and six fixed plans: 1 GB for 7 days, 3 GB for 15 days, and 3, 5, 10, or 20 GB for 30 days.
Traffic exits in France, the Netherlands, or the UK, so the sites you open see an address in one of those countries. A top-up adds data on the same eSIM and doesn't move the end date.
Staying in Moldova past 30 days
No plan on this page runs longer than 30 days. Two multi-country plans do, and both name Moldova:
- Europe eSIM, 35-country list: 50 GB for 90 days or 100 GB for 180 days, still on Orange with 5G and the same exits.
- Global 130: 20 GB for 90 days or 1 GB for 365 days, on Orange and Unité, neither showing 5G, with an exit in the UK or Norway.
On the Europe page, check the country count before you pay. Moldova is on one of its six lists, so a 31-, 33-, 34-, or 41-country row doesn't name it.
Moldova and Romania on one eSIM
A Moldova plan names Moldova only. For Chisinau and Bucharest on one eSIM, the same 35-country list names Romania, on Orange with 5G and on Vodafone. Global 130 names both as well. The Balkans eSIM names neither.
The day pass for Moldova is on this page: the Europe day pass sits on a 41-country list that doesn't name Moldova, and the Global 130 rows are all fixed plans.
Moldova eSIM questions
Does a Moldova eSIM include a Moldovan phone number?
No. The eSIM is for data, and your usual number stays on your regular SIM. For a number that receives SMS, look at the separate rentals under virtual numbers.
Can I use Unité instead of Orange?
Only through Global 130, which lists Orange and Unité here. The Moldova plans and the Europe 35-country list use Orange alone.
Is the Moldova day pass unlimited?
You can keep using it after the daily allowance, but not at full speed. The first 1 GB per day is at full speed; then it's 512 Kbps until the day resets.
Can I buy the Moldova eSIM well ahead of my trip?
Yes. An unused plan is valid for 180 days, and the days begin at the first connection in Moldova. If your plans change, you can request a refund within 30 days of purchase as long as the eSIM hasn't been installed or connected. After that, it's not refundable.
Can I use the Moldova eSIM as a laptop hotspot?
You can if your plan and phone allow it. Hotspot use draws on the plan's data, up to 20 GB on the largest Moldova plan.
