Answers to common setup and buying questions.
Compare data, validity, activation and networks before buying. Save essential maps and bookings offline.
Check each plan: validity starts at purchase, first installation or first network connection.
Networks vary by plan. Reception and speeds depend on location, network conditions and your device.
Check hotspot support on each plan. Connected devices share the allowance.
Fixed total data. No daily reset.
Romania only.
An eSIM-compatible, network-unlocked phone is required.
Check coverage, remaining data and validity. Follow the supplied roaming and APN instructions. Keep the eSIM installed when contacting support.
A transfer from the airport in Bucharest, a few days in Brașov and a stop in Sibiu can all draw from one Romania allowance. Put the eSIM on a compatible phone before you travel, and train searches, accommodation details and messages stay available without hunting for Wi-Fi, whether you are on a short city break, a family holiday or a longer vacation.

CFR Călători runs trains between Henri Coandă Airport and București Nord, which locals call Gara de Nord. Check the operator's website for the current schedule and service notices before you rely on a connection.
You can buy tickets online through the CFR Călători website or its app. Save the ticket before boarding and check which train it actually covers, since a route on the map does not make tickets interchangeable.
At Gara de Nord, treat your onward train and the route to your accommodation as two separate checks. The eSIM gives you internet data but no local phone number, so pick a ticket method that does not depend on sending an SMS.
Save before you goYour rail ticket, the onward train details and the address for the last leg of your arrival.
Council Square and the Black Church sit at the heart of Brașov's old town. Drop a specific meeting pin there and check the walk or ride from your arrival station or accommodation before relying on a rough landmark.
If you have a booked day trip, confirm the pickup address with the organiser and keep the confirmation available offline. A central landmark and the actual departure point are often not the same place, even when both use the same city name.
Heading into the mountains, download the route and check conditions before you set off. Leave photo and video uploads for a steady connection, since hills and buildings can weaken the signal no matter how much data you have left.
Save before you goThe accommodation entrance, the activity pickup pin and the route back from the day trip.
Sibiu's Large Square is a handy point for getting your bearings. Orient yourself there, then save the exact accommodation entrance instead of a general pin somewhere in the historic centre.
If your group separates between sights, agree on one meeting point and a time. Share a café or entrance location in your usual messaging app, which works over data without giving you a new local phone number.
Before leaving, pull up your booking and confirm the departure station or stop. The Romania plan keeps working across these cities while data and validity remain, but it does not extend to travel outside the country.
Save before you goThe guesthouse entrance, your meeting location and the ticket for the next leg.
