A1 eSIM for travelers
Our travel eSIM plans connect to the A1 network in 3 countries. If you searched for an eSIM for A1 coverage on a trip, this page explains exactly what we sell and where it works.
We are not A1
eSIMion is not A1, and we do not sell A1 SIM cards, A1 plans, or A1 top-ups. If you need help with your A1 account, contact A1 directly.
What we sell is a prepaid travel eSIM. In the countries listed below, that eSIM connects to the A1 network for data. You get local coverage without signing a contract with A1, making a store visit, or completing a local sign-up.
How a travel eSIM on the A1 network works
You buy the plan before your trip and it arrives by email with a tap-to-install link and a QR code. When you arrive, your phone connects to A1's towers (or a partner network, depending on the country) and data works. Your home SIM stays in place and your number does not change.
Where A1 has built out 5G, you get 5G on supported plans. Elsewhere you get 4G, which is fine for maps, messaging, and video calls.
The plan is data only. It does not come with a local phone number, so calls and texts to your regular number still arrive through your home SIM.
Where our plans use the A1 network
Plans that connect to A1 are available for Croatia, North Macedonia and Serbia. Each country page lists the plan sizes and what the network is like on the ground.
A1 in the Western Balkans
A1 operates in Croatia, Serbia, and North Macedonia. These three neighboring countries cover a combined area of roughly 160,000 km², and A1 has built a consistent 4G and 5G network across all three.
For travelers doing a Balkans circuit that takes in Zagreb, Belgrade, and Skopje — or the Adriatic coast, national parks like Plitvice, and Kopaonik — a single plan on A1 covers the journey.
Network depth
In Croatia, A1 is one of the two main operators. Coverage is solid across Zagreb, Split, Dubrovnik, and the main Dalmatian coast. Offshore islands and mountain areas have progressively weaker signal the further you get from the mainland.
In Serbia, 4G reaches Belgrade and major cities well. A1 has a smaller national footprint in Serbia than in Croatia, so rural coverage may be patchier.
North Macedonia is compact enough that A1 covers Skopje, Ohrid, and the main tourist areas with 4G.
