Skip the rental counter
No pocket Wi-Fi or SIM counter to find when you land in Romania, and nothing to return before you fly home. The eSIM is installed before you leave.
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.

Romania travel data guide
A Romania eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Romania that you install before you fly. Plans in Romania run on Vodafone and Orange, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 19 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 10 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 some of the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Visiting more than one country? The Europe eSIM covers Romania and 33 other countries on one plan, from $1.99. The Global eSIM covers Romania and 126 other countries on one plan, from $18.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Romania, 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 Romania from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Romania FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Romania?
It connects wherever Vodafone and Orange 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 Romania, not at purchase. The plan selected above (2 GB) runs for 15 days 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 Romania?
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 networks does the Romania eSIM use?
The Romania eSIM uses Vodafone and Orange. Vodafone is listed as 4G and Orange as 5G on our plans. The phone picks the network by itself, so you don't need to select one manually.
Is 1 GB enough for a weekend in Bucharest?
Yes, 1 GB is enough for a weekend in Bucharest for maps, messages and looking up places to eat. The 1 GB plan is valid for 7 days, so it covers a long weekend with days to spare.
Does the Romania eSIM have a phone number?
No, the Romania eSIM is data only. It can't make or receive ordinary calls or texts. Keep your home SIM in the phone for those, and use your usual messaging apps over the eSIM's data.
Does the plan start when I scan the QR code?
No. Scanning the QR code installs the eSIM but does not start the plan. A Romania plan begins when the eSIM first connects to a network in Romania.
How do I check if my phone is carrier locked?
The surest way is to ask the carrier you bought it from. A phone bought outright from a manufacturer is usually unlocked, while contract phones are sometimes locked. A locked phone will not accept a Romania eSIM.
Can I use hotspot for my car's passengers?
Yes, hotspot is allowed on every Romania plan. Passengers streaming on a shared hotspot use data quickly, so on unlimited plans you may reach the daily full speed amount of 1 GB or 3 GB early.
What if I cross into another country with a Romania plan?
The Romania plan stops carrying data outside Romania. It will work again when you return, if days and data remain. For trips with border crossings, the Europe plan is the one to buy.
How do I top up if I run low?
The plan selected above does not offer top ups. Buy a new plan from this page instead and install it as a second eSIM.
