Best SIM Card for Serbia: Which one to buy?

Serbia is an incredible country, full of history, culture, and exquisite beverages, among which wine stands out as one of the favorite drinks of thousands of people in the world, so if you are among these wine lovers, Serbia is your country. You can fully enjoy the wine routes in any of the wine regions found in the country.

And as we know being among the vineyards and touring the cellars where they store the exquisite specimens of the Serbian wine legacy is something you will want to share on social media. You can not be without the internet for a second, so today we will tell you all about the Serbian SIM card, a great alternative to staying connected abroad without paying for roaming services.

Where to buy a SIM card for Serbia?

Roaming can be costly abroad, and many times, your local operator may not have coverage in the country you want to travel to. That is why in Roaming, we recommend SIM cards or eSIM with data, as well as being very cheap you can purchase one before your trip to Serbia, so you will already have an internet connection when you arrive in the country.

Nowadays there are online stores like Holafly, which offer you service in English, French, German and Spanish, fast and with great advantages. But this is not the only way to get your virtual SIM for Serbia, there are many ways to get it, such as in a physical store within the country and sometimes you can even find points of sale at the airport to buy it.

In Roami, we suggest you purchase the digital SIM card through online stores such as Holafly because it is straightforward to make the purchase, and the card arrives at your home without having to pay extra. Therefore, you will not have to travel and stand in long lines at a physical point of sale or wait several days until you receive the card. 

However, although we know that buying at a physical spot can be a little more cumbersome, we also understand that many people find it safer to buy in person, so if you are one of them, you can buy a SIM when you arrive in Serbia, at the airport or directly at MTS and Telenor points of sale.

These are the leading telecommunications companies in the country, so by buying a SIM with them or with an operator that has those networks linked to theirs, you are ensuring an excellent internet connection.

Buy before you travel.

Some online stores tend to vary their prices constantly, so we recommend you to make your purchase with Holafly. This online store has affordable prices and several advantages that will facilitate your trip.

Buy upon arrival

Shopping upon arrival also has its advantages, for example, there is a wide variety of brands to choose from, so you will have a wide range of prices. When buying directly at the airport or in Serbia you will be able to select from many suppliers, so it will be a bit easier to choose a SIM that fits everything you need.

But as we mentioned before, be very careful which brand you choose and verify that it has coverage with MTS or Telenor, as there have been cases of travelers who do not use the SIM they buy directly in the country of destination.

MTS and Telenor stores in Serbia

As with all other countries, as well as in Serbia, there are also many cell phone companies that offer SIM services to foreigners, but the main telecommunications companies in Serbia are MTS and Telenor. That is to say that these companies are the ones with the largest network within the country, so when you buy a card that is linked to one of their networks you can be sure that you will have a very good connection and coverage in Serbia.

Acquiring a SIM card from any of these companies is very easy, as we mentioned in the article, you can purchase it at the airport, at physical points of sale, or in shopping malls, you just have to go to one of their spots and buy it. 

How much does a SIM card for travel to Serbia cost?

As for prices, it will depend a lot on whether you use an online store or if you expect to arrive in Serbia and look for a local operator. Also, consider that depending on the amount of data and benefits the price may increase. Generally, you can estimate a price range from 10$ up to 65$ for a SIM card for tourists in Serbia.

eSIM card for Serbia, the new alternative

In case your traveling dates are close and need internet service as soon as possible, you can opt for an eSIM for Serbia. However, Holafly does not currently have an eSIM for this country and other 160 destinations worldwide.

The eSIM is a card that works virtually. It’s very easy to use, you will receive it immediately and you will not have to change your phone number, because your phone will become a dual SIM smartphone. 

In the following list, you will find the requirements for its use: 

• Check that your cell phone is compatible with an eSIM. As it is a relatively new technology, there are still devices that are not compatible.
• You need an email address to register and receive your eSIM.
• To activate your eSIM, you must have an internet connection, as your eSIM profile will be downloaded from the operator’s servers. This can also be done from a Wifi hotspot.
• Most eSIM cards do not offer analog calls, only data. But with the current plans on the market, you can communicate by voice using Apps such as Skype or WhatsApp.

Holafly online store

As we have mentioned before, Holafly’s Serbian virtual SIM card with unlimited data has several advantages over other companies that offer international SIMs, such as customer service in different languages, and other SIM providers for Serbia only have service in English.

In addition, their eSIM allows you to recharge your service through top-ups, ideal when you spend more time on your trip. You do not have to install a new eSIM as with other providers. When you buy the top-up, it is automatically activated on your phone.

Disadvantages of Holafly’s SIM card

Holafly, like all companies, has its disadvantages, and among them, the service does not include a local number, you will not be able to make analog calls, you can only do it through apps that use data.

How can I shop at Holafly?
