Bosnia and Herzegovina suits unhurried routes: towns in river valleys, waterfalls, canyons and mountain roads where it is easy to miss a turn without navigation. Many people travel by car or bus and change plans on the way, so mobile internet is useful all the time: for maps, timetables, messaging hosts and translating signs. An eSIM is easy to set up at home, so you can order a taxi or write to your host straight after landing.
This page is the quickest way to buy a travel eSIM for Bosnia and Herzegovina from 4 500 ₸. Pick a plan, pay online and install the digital SIM card at home before the flight — no passport and no queue at an airport kiosk.
The eSIM connects to local mobile networks, so you have data wherever they have coverage — Sarajevo and the rest of the country.
Compared with roaming in Bosnia and Herzegovina, an eSIM is usually much cheaper for mobile data: the price of the package is fixed and known in advance. Your home number stays active on the main SIM for calls and SMS.
If your phone does not support eSIM, you can buy a regular physical SIM card with data for Bosnia and Herzegovina at a Funsim point of sale: at Almaty and Shymkent airports, or at our offices in Almaty — 130/1 Abay St and 1 Pozharsky St. Handy if you remember about the internet right before departure.
Routes through the country usually combine several stops: the capital, waterfalls in the north, a national park near the border, ski mountains close to Sarajevo. One profile for the whole trip is simpler than looking for a shop in every town. See the plans above for Bosnia and Herzegovina, and if you continue through the Balkans, look at the regional plans.
Your main SIM stays in the phone for calls and bank SMS, while mobile data goes through the eSIM. Most plans have no voice calls or SMS, so messengers are the easiest way to talk to hosts and drivers. This helps in the Balkans, where almost everyone uses Viber and WhatsApp.
| Criterion | eSIM Funsim | Roaming | Local SIM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where to get it | Online, at home | Usually from your home operator | In a shop in the country |
| First minutes in the country | Just switch data on | Roaming settings needed | First find a point of sale |
| Cost of data | Fixed package, see plans above | Usually much more expensive | Depends on the operator's tariff |
| Your main number | Stays for calls and banking | Stays active | Usually a separate second SIM |
| Trip across several towns | One profile for the country | Depends on operator terms | Yes, but you need time to buy it |
Towns are well covered, while in the mountains, canyons and national parks signal can be uneven. These are the places and routes where you will use the internet most.
The capital lies in a valley, with streets climbing the hillsides, and finding an apartment on a slope without a map can be tricky. You need internet to reach your host, check tram and bus timetables, book tables and find a pharmacy or cash machine. Having it right after landing makes it easy to order a transfer or a taxi.
The largest city in the north, on the Vrbas river, with the Kastel fortress and a riverside promenade. Many people come for a weekend or for rafting on the Vrbas. Internet helps with booking activities, forecasts, maps and contacting the instructor. It is easy to reach by bus or car, so check the timetable in advance.
A small town with a waterfall right in the centre, where the Pliva flows into the Vrbas. It is usually a stop on the road between Sarajevo and the north. Signal in town is steady, but around the Pliva lakes and in the nearby forests it may weaken, so save your points on an offline map before leaving.
A popular summer spot near Ljubuski: a cascade of falls with a pool where people swim in the heat. It is far from big cities, and the road runs through countryside. Download the map in advance and keep mobile internet for navigation and for contacting your driver if you came by transfer.
The north-west of the country by the Croatian border: the Una river, turquoise water, rafting and the Strbacki Buk waterfall. It is easy to combine with Croatia's Plitvice Lakes. Near the border your phone sometimes latches onto a neighbouring country's network, so check which line is selected for mobile data.
A short stretch of Bosnian coast between two parts of Croatia. People pass through it on the drive along the Adriatic and sometimes stop for lunch or a night. It is a good example of a route that crosses a border several times in a day, so check in the plan above whether it covers neighbouring countries.
Mountains near Sarajevo that hosted the 1984 Winter Olympics. People ski here in winter and hike in summer. Weather and road conditions change fast, so internet helps with forecasts, closed runs and booking rooms. On the slopes and in the forest signal can be uneven, so download an offline map first.
A town on the Drina with the famous stone bridge of Mehmed Pasha Sokolovic, a UNESCO World Heritage site. People come for half a day or on the way towards the Serbian border. Internet helps with maps and bus timetables, and with finding a cafe and checking museum hours.
Main services work as at home, but a few apps are especially handy in the Balkans.
Shows driving and public transport routes, opening hours, reviews and photos. Download an offline map of the region before a mountain road, since signal in gorges can drop.
Useful for signs and menus, which use both Latin and Cyrillic letters. Download Bosnian or Serbian for offline use and translate text with the camera.
Very widely used in the Balkans: hosts, guides and drivers often reply there. Install it in advance and check that the verification code reaches your main number.
Good for family, guides and friends, and for calls over the internet. Since most plans have no voice service, calling through a messenger is the easiest option.
Helps you find places to stay in Sarajevo, Mostar and smaller towns. Save the confirmation and address offline, and message the host before arrival to agree on check-in time.
Handy for mountain and river forecasts: wind, rain, temperature at altitude. Useful for winter trips to Jahorina and Bjelasnica and for hikes in national parks.
Check that your phone supports eSIM and is not locked to a carrier. You can see this in settings or on the manufacturer's website.
Choose a Bosnia and Herzegovina plan above and pay by card on the site, no passport is needed. If you are also visiting neighbouring countries, look at the regional plans.
Install the eSIM at home by QR code, the Quick install button or manually while you have Wi-Fi. You will not need to look for a network at the airport.
After landing, select the eSIM as your mobile data line and switch data roaming on for that line.
Keep your main SIM on for calls and bank SMS, but turn off mobile data on it so traffic does not go through roaming.
If the package runs out, buy extra data on the site. Sharing internet with a laptop works on plans that allow hotspot mode, so check the plan page.
Before a mountain road or a day in a national park, download an offline map and save your accommodation address: signal in gorges can be uneven.
