Almost every flagship smartphone released since 2019 is equipped to support eSIMFlyer, making it the perfect companion for your international journeys. This broad compatibility includes devices such as the iPhone XS and all subsequent models, the Google Pixel 3 and any newer iterations, and the Samsung Galaxy S20 series and its successors. A growing number of mid-range devices are also joining the eSIM-compatible ranks.

No. An eSIM can be installed only once, and it locks to the first device it is installed on. It cannot be moved to another phone, re-scanned, or reinstalled afterward, and it is non-refundable once installed. Please install your eSIM on the device you plan to keep using. If you are switching devices and need help, contact our support team.

Pilots, be advised: North Macedonia is not part of the European Union, so the 'Roam Like at Home' benefits you enjoy across the EU won't apply here. Using your standard EU SIM card (e.g., from O2, Vodafone, Orange) for data in North Macedonia will likely incur hefty international roaming charges. An eSIMFlyer plan offers a much more cost-effective and predictable solution, ensuring you stay connected without unexpected bill shock when checking flight statuses or navigating Skopje.

Your current eSIMFlyer plan for North Macedonia is geo-restricted to that country's borders. If your itinerary includes a broader Balkan adventure, perhaps venturing into Albania, Kosovo, or Greece, your connection will drop once you cross out of North Macedonia. For the intrepid traveler planning a multi-stop itinerary across the Balkans, we highly recommend exploring eSIMFlyer's regional Europe plans. These comprehensive packages ensure seamless connectivity for all your layovers and destinations across multiple countries.

Absolutely, you'll be well-connected at these iconic Macedonian landmarks! eSIMFlyer ensures you tap into the strongest local networks, typically Makedonski Telekom or A1, providing excellent 4G/LTE coverage. Whether you're capturing the stunning views from a boat on Lake Ohrid, exploring the monasteries, or kayaking through the breathtaking Matka Canyon, you'll have reliable data for sharing your adventures, checking local insights, and coordinating with your travel companions.

For our digital nomad frequent flyers, eSIMFlyer provides robust connectivity that keeps pace with your demanding schedule. Cities like Skopje and Ohrid are increasingly popular hubs, and our eSIM offers high-speed, low-latency data perfect for critical tasks like video conferencing on Zoom, managing cloud-based projects, and uploading high-resolution content. It's also an excellent contingency plan, providing a stable internet backup should your Airbnb Wi-Fi prove less reliable than expected.

We strongly recommend installing and activating your eSIMFlyer plan before your flight to North Macedonia. While Skopje International Airport (SKP) offers Wi-Fi, it can be inconsistent or require a cumbersome SMS verification process. Activating beforehand ensures that the moment your aircraft touches down, your phone seamlessly connects to the local network. This means instant access to ride-hailing apps, navigation, and urgent messages without any post-landing scramble, getting you out of the airport and on your way faster.

Determining eSIM compatibility is crucial for a smooth travel experience. While most recent models from Apple (iPhone XS and newer), Samsung (Galaxy S20 series and up), and Google (Pixel 3a and newer) support eSIM, it's always best to be certain. You can typically find this information in your phone's settings under 'Cellular' or 'Mobile Data', looking for an 'Add eSIM' or 'Add Data Plan' option. For a definitive answer, check our comprehensive list of supported devices on the eSIMFlyer website.

While Uber isn't available in North Macedonia, your eSIMFlyer data is essential for local ride services in Skopje.
