Questions
What is the best eSIM for Croatia?
For most trips, 5 GB for 30 days is enough: $4.29 here, against $10.50 at Airalo for the same data (read 31 Oct 2026). It is data only and needs no app: the QR code and a one-tap install link arrive by email. For heavy use there is also a Day Pass: 3 GB a day at full speed. Every brand's price for Croatia, dated and sourced, is on our comparison page.
Is there an unlimited eSIM for Croatia?
Yes: our Day Pass is unlimited data, 3 GB a day at full speed and then 1 Mbps with no cut-off, and 7 days cost $17.90 here. Other brands' "unlimited" plans for 7 days: Ubigi $20.00 (unlimited, 20 GB at full speed, then 2 Mbps); Airalo $24.50 (unlimited with a daily high-speed allowance); Nomad $25.00 (2GB/day at 4G/5G. 1 Mbps after 2GB); Jetpac $26.99 (first 3 GB every 24 hours at standard network speeds) (prices read 30 Oct to 31 Oct 2026). Read each one's terms: "unlimited" often means a daily allowance at full speed.
Which Croatia eSIM for a month?
Every one of these lasts 30 days: 3 GB $3.49, 5 GB $4.29, 10 GB $7.19, 20 GB $15.09. The 30 days start when the eSIM first connects to a network there, so you can buy before the trip.
Can I buy a Croatia eSIM without an app?
Yes. You pay on this page and the QR code and a one-tap install link arrive by email: no app and no account. It is data only, with no phone number, so your home SIM keeps your calls and SMS.
Does the Croatia eSIM come with a phone number?
No. It is data only: no local number, calls or SMS on this eSIM. Your home SIM stays in the phone for calls and texts (your carrier's roaming rates apply to them), and WhatsApp, FaceTime or Signal calls run over the eSIM's data. If you need a local number in Croatia, for example for a service that texts a code, buy a local SIM there.
Which Croatia eSIM for a week or two?
For 7 days: 1 GB $2.39. The 30-day packs cover one or two weeks too: 3 GB $3.49, 5 GB $4.29. Day Pass, 3 GB a day at full speed and then 1 Mbps: 7 days $17.90, 14 days $32.90.
12 more questions
Will WhatsApp keep my number with a Croatia eSIM?
Yes. WhatsApp stays on your home number: this eSIM is data only and has no number. Leave your home SIM in the phone with its data roaming off, use the Croatia eSIM for mobile data, and do not re-register WhatsApp.
Is a Croatia eSIM cheaper than roaming?
With a phone plan from the EU or EEA, roaming in Croatia costs nothing extra ("roam like at home"), so you may not need one. From anywhere else, usually yes. US carriers charge $12 a day for roaming (AT&T International Day Pass, Verizon TravelPass, read 31 Oct 2026) where they cover Croatia, so a week costs $84. Here 5 GB for 30 days is $4.29 in total.

From $2.39 in USD, and the price on this page is the price you pay. Sizes run from the 1 GB pack up; pick one in the list above.
When does the Croatia plan start?
First attach to a covered network. Install on Wi-Fi before you fly. After you land, turn data roaming on for this line.
Can I hotspot in Croatia?
Yes, it uses the same GB. We never block it; rarely, a local network limits it.
Which networks in Croatia?
Telemach + A1. Your phone joins whichever of these is strongest where you are.
Is this 5G in Croatia?

What APN do I use in Croatia?
Automatic unless the QR mail names one
Can I use this Croatia eSIM in another country?
No. This pack is Croatia. A new country is a new QR. Keep this one if you return.
Can I top up the Croatia plan?

How long do I have to install the Croatia eSIM?
Start using within 180 days of purchase. After that an unused pack can expire. Scan on Wi-Fi before you fly.

QR not scanned and not on the phone? Email within 30 days of issue. We cancel and refund. Installed? Buy the right country and keep this QR for later.
