Arriving and activating in Albania
Install the eSIM before departure over wifi at home. Whether you land at Tirana airport or cross the border by car from Montenegro, Kosovo, North Macedonia or Greece — only turn on data roaming once you're in Albania, so your data starts at the right time.
Coverage in the north and the south
Around Tirana, Durrës and the coast near Vlorë, coverage is generally good. If you're travelling to family in the north towards Shkodër or inland towards Korçë and Elbasan, coverage stays stable in the towns themselves; in small mountain villages the signal can be weaker, as with any local provider.
Your own number and calling home
Because the eSIM only provides data, your Belgian or Dutch SIM card stays active for calls, texts and verification codes, so banking and logging in keep working as normal. To stay in touch with family back home, use the eSIM data for WhatsApp or Messenger calls, without foreign call charges.
Bridging a longer stay
For a summer stay of several weeks, one plan may not be enough. Check the validity period on the plan page before booking, and if needed buy a second plan once the first is nearly used up — you can even do this while you're already in Albania, as long as you have wifi for a moment.
Frequently asked questions
Does the eSIM also work outside Tirana, for example in Shkodër or Korçë?+
In the larger cities and along the main roads, coverage is generally stable. In remote mountain villages, such as in the north towards the Albanian Alps, the signal can be weaker, as with any local provider.
Does my Belgian or Dutch number stay reachable for WhatsApp and banking codes in Albania?+
Yes. The Ariya eSIM only handles your mobile data in Albania; your own SIM card stays active for calls, texts and app verification codes such as online banking. Your device then uses both cards at the same time (dual-SIM).
How do I call family in Belgium or the Netherlands cheaply from Albania?+
Using the eSIM data you can call and video call for free via WhatsApp or Messenger, instead of expensive call minutes through your regular plan.
Is the eSIM also handy if I drive to Albania instead of flying?+
Yes, the eSIM works as soon as you enter Albania, whether you arrive via Tirana airport or cross the border by car — only turn on data roaming once you're actually in Albania.
Does my phone support eSIM?+
Most recent smartphones (iPhone XS and newer, recent Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel) support eSIM. Check your settings for an 'Add eSIM' option.
When should I activate my Albania eSIM?+
Install the eSIM before departure over wifi, but only enable data roaming once you arrive in Albania, so your plan starts at the right time.
How do I receive my eSIM?+
Right after payment you receive the QR code by email and in your Ariya Mobile account. Remember to check your spam folder.
Can I top up my plan?+
Yes, simply buy a new Albania eSIM plan when your data or validity runs out.
