A physical SIM normally requires you to find a store, purchase a SIM locally, and insert it into your phone.
For most short-term international visitors, an eSIM is the easier option.
Before installation, make sure your device supports eSIM and is carrier-unlocked.
The general setup process is:
Connect your phone to Wi-Fi.
Open your mobile or cellular settings.
Select the option to add an eSIM.
Scan the supplied QR code or enter the activation information.
Label the new line, for example “Bosnia eSIM.”
Select the eSIM for mobile data.
Enable data roaming if required.
Do not remove the eSIM profile until your trip is finished, because some plans may not support reinstallation.
Many newer smartphones support eSIM technology, including selected devices from Apple, Samsung, Google, and other manufacturers.
Before purchasing, confirm that:
Your device supports eSIM
Your phone is unlocked
The device supports the required mobile network bands
Compatibility can vary by model and country of purchase, so checking before payment is important.
To make your data allowance last longer:
Download offline maps before long journeys
Disable automatic app updates
Pause cloud photo and video backups
Use Wi-Fi for large downloads
Turn off background data for apps you rarely use
Make sure your travel eSIM is selected as the primary mobile data line
If you keep your home SIM active, consider disabling mobile data on that SIM to avoid accidental roaming charges.
You can purchase your eSIM before traveling so that most of the setup is completed before departure.
However, activation conditions differ by package. Some plans begin their validity when the eSIM first connects to a supported network, while others may start at installation or activation.
Always review the plan details before installing your eSIM.
