English
An eSIM for Romania 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.
Romania eSIM: mobile data on Orange and Vodafone
5GData for a city break, a road trip or a long work stay, on two Romanian networks. Each plan counts its days from its first connection in Romania, so you can install it before you leave.
The unlimited plan is the day pass we feature for Romania: 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 Romania
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 Romania
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 Romania: Orange and Vodafone, but not Digi
Each Romania plan on this page, the day pass and every fixed plan, connects to Orange and Vodafone. The catalog marks Orange as 5G, so you get 5G where Orange has built it; on Vodafone these plans use 4G/LTE. Digi.Mobil isn't on them.
Where one fades, turn off automatic network selection and pick the other by hand. Traffic leaves through France, the Netherlands or the United Kingdom, so Romanian sites see a foreign IP address, and a Romanian bank app may treat your login as one from abroad.
Romania eSIM plans for a week, a month or half a year
- Day pass: a fresh 1 GB at full speed for each day you choose, and 512 Kbps once it's used.
- A week: 1 GB for 7 days.
- Two weeks: 2 GB or 3 GB for 15 days.
- A month: 3, 5, 10 or 20 GB for 30 days.
- Half a year: 50 GB for 180 days, for a posting, a semester or a winter of remote work.
If a plan runs low, top it up with more data on the same eSIM from your balance. A top-up adds data rather than days, so pick the length of your stay first and the size second.
Romania with Moldova, Serbia or Bulgaria on one eSIM
A Romania plan has no network once you cross a border. For a route that does, the country lists decide:
- Bulgaria or Hungary: on every Europe eSIM list, together with Romania.
- Moldova: only on the 35-country Europe list, which uses Orange and Vodafone in Romania and exits in France, the Netherlands or the UK.
- Serbia: only on the two 41-country Europe lists, which add Digi.Mobil in Romania and exit in the UK or Norway.
- Ukraine: on the 34-, 35- and 41-country Europe lists, not the shorter ones.
- All five neighbors, and other continents: Global 130 lists Romania with Bulgaria, Hungary, Moldova, Serbia and Ukraine, on Digi.Mobil, Orange and Vodafone.
Questions about a Romania eSIM
Does the Romania eSIM work on Digi?
Not the Romania plans: they connect to Orange and Vodafone only. If Digi.Mobil matters to you, Global 130 and most Europe lists include it in Romania; the 35-country Europe list doesn't.
Can I get a Romanian phone number with it?
No. The eSIM carries data only, and your own SIM keeps your number for calls and texts. For a number you keep for weeks, see which countries are in stock under virtual numbers.
Is the Romania day pass unlimited?
Not at full speed. Each day brings 1 GB at full speed; past that, the eSIM stays online at 512 Kbps until the next day's allowance.
How far ahead can I buy and install it?
An unused Romania plan stays valid for 180 days, and its days only start on Orange or Vodafone in Romania, so installing it the week before costs nothing. Wait until the trip is fixed, though: a refund on request, within 30 days of purchase, applies only while the eSIM hasn't been installed or connected.
