Bosnia and Herzegovina has become a favourite for Gulf families and travellers who want green hills, cool air and a warm welcome. There is Bosnian coffee in a copper džezva in Sarajevo's old bazaar, the cable car up Mount Trebević, the divers leaping from Mostar's Old Bridge into the Neretva, and the turquoise pools of the Kravice waterfalls. Between them are winding mountain roads where your phone is your guide. A travel eSIM connects you to a Bosnian network as soon as you land in Sarajevo, with no SIM counter and no card swap.
Why an eSIM is the easy option
You can find a local SIM in Sarajevo, but that means a shop visit, a passport and pulling out your home SIM, the one your bank uses to send its verification codes.
An eSIM sits alongside your own SIM. Install it at home on Wi-Fi, land, and switch mobile data to the travel line before you have even reached the taxi rank.
Who's carrying your signal
Our Bosnia and Herzegovina plans run on HT-ERONET, a Bosnian mobile network. Coverage is strongest in the cities and towns, such as Sarajevo, Mostar, Banja Luka and Tuzla, and along the main roads.
Much of the country is mountains and deep river valleys. On the road through the Neretva canyon, up at a mountain lodge or deep in a national park, signal can weaken or drop for a while.
How much data does a Bosnian trip need?
A week split between Sarajevo and Mostar, with maps, messages, bus times and a steady stream of photos, fits comfortably into 3GB for 15 days at $10.5.
A longer family trip with a rental car, day trips to Kravice, Blagaj and Jajce, and plenty of video sharing is more relaxed on 5GB for 30 days at $17.
Data only, and a 60-second landing checklist
Our plans are fixed data plans with no Bosnian phone number and no calls. Keep your own SIM on for calls, and use WhatsApp or other apps over the eSIM data.
When you land: turn on the travel line, set it as your Mobile Data line, and switch off Data Roaming on your home SIM so it cannot pick up charges. Then go and find that coffee.

Quick answers
Which network does the Bosnia eSIM use?
It runs on HT-ERONET. Coverage is strongest in cities and towns and can be thinner in the mountains and remote valleys.
Does it work in Croatia or Montenegro too?
No. This plan is for Bosnia and Herzegovina only. If you are crossing the border, arrange separate data for the next country.
Does it give me a local phone number?
No. Our plans are data only, with no local number and no calls. Keep your own SIM active for calls and use messaging apps over the eSIM data.
When do my plan's days start?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Bosnia and Herzegovina, not when you buy or install it.
