North Macedonia travel data guide
A North Macedonia eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for North Macedonia that you install before you fly. Plans in North Macedonia run on vip, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 18 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 10 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $2.99. 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 North Macedonia and 126 other countries on one plan, from $18.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in North Macedonia, 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 North Macedonia from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
North Macedonia FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in North Macedonia?
It connects wherever vip has signal, which is the same network local customers use. The eSIM is data only.
When do my days start?
On the first connection in North Macedonia, 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 North Macedonia?
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.
Which network does the North Macedonia eSIM use?
The North Macedonia eSIM uses vip, which is listed as 5G on our plans. It is the only network on these plans. You need a phone that supports 5G to use it where 5G is available.
Does a North Macedonia plan work in Greece or Albania?
No, a North Macedonia plan only carries data inside North Macedonia. For a trip across several countries, look at the Global plan, which includes North Macedonia, and check its country list against your stops.
Is 5 GB for one day too much?
For one person on a phone in North Macedonia, 5 GB in a day is more than most will use. It makes sense when several people share a hotspot in a car, or when you need a laptop online for a working day.
Can I install the eSIM before I reach North Macedonia?
Yes, and you should. Install it over WiFi at home. The plan's days start at the first connection to a network in North Macedonia, so nothing is lost by setting it up early.
Where do I find my QR code?
The QR code is in the email we send after payment and in your customer account on the site. If you can't see the email, look in spam, then sign in to your account to get the code there.
What speed do I get after the daily amount on unlimited?
After the daily 1 GB or 3 GB, an unlimited North Macedonia plan runs at up to 1 Mbps. That is enough for messages and basic maps. Full speed returns the next day.
Can I top up in North Macedonia?
Some North Macedonia plans can be topped up and some can't. The plan card states it before you buy. If yours has no top up, a new short plan is the way to add days or data.
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.
