English
An eSIM for Montenegro 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.
Montenegro eSIM on T-Mobile and m:tel CG
Mobile data for a beach week, a road trip or a month of remote work, on two Montenegrin networks. Every plan counts its days from its first connection in Montenegro.
The unlimited plan is the day pass we feature for Montenegro: 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 Montenegro
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 Montenegro
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.
eSIM Montenegro: T-Mobile and m:tel CG, exit in the UK
The Montenegro plans on this page, from the day pass to 20 GB for a month, connect to T-Mobile and m:tel CG. Your phone takes whichever is stronger, and you can switch to the other by hand in the network settings. Telenor isn't on these plans, and none of them reaches 5G: expect 3G and 4G.
Traffic exits in the United Kingdom, so websites see a British IP address. Maps and booking apps won't care; a local bank or a service that checks your location may.
Sizes run 1 GB for a week, 2 or 3 GB for two weeks, and 3, 5, 10 or 20 GB for a month. The day pass gives 1 GB a day at full speed, then 512 Kbps. Each plan tops up with more data on the same eSIM.
Montenegro isn't on the Europe plans: Balkans and Global 130 are
Montenegro uses the euro but isn't in the EU, and it isn't on any Europe eSIM list sold here. A Europe plan bought for Croatia or Italy stops working when you cross into Montenegro. Two multi-country plans do include it:
- Balkans eSIM: Montenegro with Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, North Macedonia and Serbia. Here it adds Telenor to T-Mobile and m:tel CG, and the catalog marks all three as 5G on that plan. Fixed plans run up to 30 days, or take its day pass.
- Global 130: the same three Montenegrin networks, plus Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo, which the Balkans list leaves out.
Both exit in the UK or Norway. A day trip to Croatia or Albania fits the Balkans plan; a loop through Bosnia and Herzegovina needs Global 130 or a separate Bosnia and Herzegovina plan.
Montenegro eSIM questions
Does the Montenegro eSIM work in Croatia or Albania?
No, a Montenegro plan works only in Montenegro. For a day across either border, the Balkans eSIM lists Montenegro, Croatia and Albania together, so one plan covers all three.
Is there 5G in Montenegro on this eSIM?
Not on the Montenegro plans, which run on 3G and 4G. The Balkans and Global 130 plans list T-Mobile, Telenor and m:tel CG as 5G in Montenegro, if 5G matters to you.
Can I get a +382 number?
No. The eSIM carries data only, with no Montenegrin number, and your own SIM keeps yours for calls and texts. For a number that receives SMS, see the countries in stock under virtual numbers.
Can I install it before I fly?
Yes. No Montenegro plan starts its days until it first connects to T-Mobile or m:tel CG in Montenegro, and an unused plan keeps for 180 days. An eSIM that hasn't been installed or connected can be refunded on request within 30 days of purchase, so install it once the trip is settled.
