A vast majority of flagship smartphones launched since 2019 are equipped to support HotelESIM, making them ideal companions for international travel and a perfect backup to hotel WiFi. This includes a wide range of devices such as the iPhone XS and all newer models, Google Pixel 3 and its successors, and the Samsung Galaxy S20 series and subsequent generations.

It's important to note that North Macedonia is not yet part of the European Union, so the 'Roam Like at Home' policy applicable within the EU does not extend here. If you are using a European (EU) SIM card, most carriers like O2, Vodafone, or Orange will likely charge significant international roaming fees for data usage. To avoid unexpected charges and enjoy seamless connectivity at predictable rates, HotelESIM offers a much more convenient and cost-effective solution for your stay.

The HotelESIM plan for North Macedonia is specifically designed for use within its national borders. Many travelers enjoy exploring Skopje as part of a broader Balkan adventure. However, if your journey takes you across the border into countries like Albania, Kosovo, or Greece, your connection will unfortunately cease. For those embarking on a multi-country Balkan tour, we highly recommend exploring our regional eSIM options to ensure continuous connectivity throughout your entire itinerary.
