Georgia is the most expensive country in the region for roaming. It falls under neither the EU roaming zone nor the Western Balkans’ €14-per-gigabyte price cap — for Georgia, there’s no price ceiling at all. An eSIM with unlimited data costs €6.90 for three days and €10.90 for seven days at POVNOMAD. Airalo’s own Georgia

For Montenegro, POVNOMAD Unlimited XL costs €9.90 for three days and €17.90 for seven days (as of September 30, 2026). Airalo charges €16.50 and €30.00 for the same service — 3 GB of high-speed data per day — while Holafly charges $18.90 and $33.90 (as of September 5, 2026). Montenegro sits outside EU roaming, so

North Macedonia has the most built-out 5G network in the region: Makedonski Telekom states 97% population coverage. EU roaming still does not apply. An eSIM with unlimited data costs €6.90 for three days at POVNOMAD. At the longer durations, though, Airalo is competitive here — we say that openly, because it’s true. The comparison at

Serbia has had nationwide 5G since December 3, 2025 — launched by all three operators at once. EU roaming still does not apply there.

A POVNOMAD eSIM for Japan costs €5.90 for three days of Unlimited Smart and €29.90 for 30 days, and the profile runs on NTT Docomo or KDDI/au in 4G and 5G. That settles the price question quickly. The more interesting one comes up once you land: where does the network hold, where does it not,

Bosnia and Herzegovina has no 5G. Regulator RAK still hasn’t issued any licenses, and according to the head of BH Telecom, that’s not expected before the end of 2026 — making Bosnia the only country in the region without commercial 5G. Its 4G network, though, covers around 94% of the population. An eSIM with unlimited

No EU roaming applies to the Balkans. Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia and Kosovo all sit outside “roam like at home,” and your German home data allowance doesn’t count there. Since January 1, 2026, there’s been a voluntary price cap of €14 per gigabyte — but it only kicks in if you

Albania sits outside EU roaming. An eSIM for Albania costs €2.90 for 1 GB over seven days at POVNOMAD, and €20.90 for 20 GB over 30 days.
