Share with your laptop
Hotspot is allowed on the plan selected above, so a second device can use the same data in a cafe or a hotel room.

Albania travel data guide
A Albania eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Albania that you install before you fly. Plans in Albania run on One Albania and Vodafone, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 13 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 50 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $1.99. Unlimited plans are listed too, each with its own fair use line. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Visiting more than one country? The Global eSIM covers Albania and 126 other countries on one plan, from $18.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Albania, not when you buy, so you can install it at home days early. For a week of maps, messaging and social apps, most travellers are fine with 3 to 5 GB. Video calls or streaming need more, or an unlimited plan. Travel data in Albania from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Albania FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Albania?
It connects wherever One Albania and Vodafone have signal, which is the same network local customers use. The eSIM is data only.
When do my days start?
On the first connection in Albania, not at purchase. The plan selected above (3 GB) runs for 1 day from that moment. You can install the eSIM at home and the clock stays still until you connect.
Do I get a local phone number in Albania?
No. The eSIM is data only. Your own SIM stays in for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working over the eSIM data.
Can I share data with my laptop?
Yes. Hotspot sharing is supported on the plan selected above, so your laptop or tablet can use the eSIM data through your phone.
Is the Albania eSIM 4G or 5G?
Both One Albania and Vodafone are listed as 5G for Albania, and plans are sold as either 3G/4G or 4G/5G. The label is on each plan card. You also need a phone that supports 5G, otherwise it will connect on 4G.
Do I get an Albanian phone number with it?
No, the Albania eSIM is data only and has no phone number. You can't call or text from it. Your own SIM stays active for calls and SMS codes, and WhatsApp keeps the number you already use.
Is 3 GB enough for two weeks in Albania?
For light use, 3 GB is enough for two weeks in Albania if it goes on maps, messages and bookings. Video and hotspot use it up much faster. The 3 GB plan runs for 15 days, and there is an unlimited 15 day plan if you would rather not count.
When do the days on my Albania plan start?
The days start when the eSIM first connects to a network in Albania. Buying or installing it earlier doesn't use up any time, so you can set it up at home a few days ahead.
Do I need WiFi to install the eSIM?
Yes, the phone needs an internet connection to download the eSIM, and home WiFi is the easiest. Do it before you leave for Albania, because the QR code sits in your email and is awkward to scan from the same phone in an airport.
Can I share my Albania data with a laptop?
Yes, hotspot is allowed on every Albania plan. Shared data comes out of the same allowance, and on unlimited plans it counts toward the 3 GB a day you get at full speed.
What happens when my data runs out in Albania?
A fixed plan stops working once its data is used. Some Albania plans can be extended with a top up and some can't, which the plan card shows. Unlimited plans don't stop, they slow to 1 Mbps after 3 GB in a day.
How do I top up if I run low?
Open My eSIMs, pick this eSIM and choose a top up. It goes onto the same eSIM, so there is no new QR code to scan.
