ALBANIA ESIM FAQ

Everything clear before you connect

Which eSIM for Albania is right for me?

Hej Telecom, from Airalo, if you want unlimited or per-GB plans: it is data only, on the One Albania 4G networks, with unlimited hotspot; it is not rechargeable and you can install it up to 90 days ahead.

TiranaPass, from Telefonía_MX, if you want per-GB plans: it is data only, on the TELEKOM 4G networks, with unlimited hotspot; it is rechargeable and you can install it up to 60 days ahead.

Both cover Albania only. If you also go to other countries in Europe, see the regional eSIMs in eSIM for Europe.

Can I use my phone as a hotspot?

Yes. Hej Telecom and TiranaPass include unlimited hotspot: you can share internet with other devices; usage comes out of the plan data. They are data only: they do not include a local number or regular calls, but WhatsApp still works with your usual number.

Is unlimited or per GB the better fit?

Hej Telecom offers per-GB and unlimited plans. On unlimited plans you get a daily high-speed allowance and then keep browsing at 384 Kbps until the next daily reset. TiranaPass only offers per-GB plans, with no unlimited option.

A per-GB plan suits a longer trip or light video use; unlimited is better if you use maps, social apps or hotspot a lot. Choose the plan on each product page that fits your trip to Albania.

How much data do I need for my trip to Albania?

For maps and messaging over a few days, a small per-GB plan is usually enough. If you use social apps and some video, pick a larger plan or an unlimited option from Hej Telecom. If you upload photos or video every day, unlimited is the most comfortable choice.

Each product page lists the plans and their validity. If you still have questions, Lia can help you choose.

Which network does it use, and is there 5G?

Hej Telecom connects to One Albania with 4G technology. TiranaPass connects to TELEKOM with 4G technology. The connection depends on each operator’s local coverage.

The eSIMs cover Albania only, including each network’s coverage in cities such as Durres, no recargable and Tirana.

Can I recharge if I stay more days?

TiranaPass is rechargeable: when the validity ends you can recharge from the link in the delivery email; you have up to 60 days to do it before the eSIM is deactivated.

Hej Telecom is not rechargeable: when the days or the data run out you buy a new eSIM. If your trip is long, choose a plan with more days from the start.

When do I install my eSIM and how do I receive it?

You get the QR instantly by email. Install it before you travel over Wi-Fi: up to 90 days ahead with Hej Telecom and up to 60 days ahead with TiranaPass. Installing does not start the validity; the days count from the first connection to a network in Albania.

Your usual SIM can stay in the phone. If there is an issue with the QR, there is a 72-hour guarantee.

Does it work if I go to Durres, no recargable and Tirana, or to a nearby country?

Yes. Durres, no recargable and Tirana are in Albania, and the eSIMs cover them. They do not cover other countries.

If you also go to Greece, Montenegro, Serbia, Italy, Croatia and Bulgaria, a regional eSIM or an eSIM for that country is a better fit. Start with eSIM for Europe.
