Frequently asked questions

Gohub eSIM is one of the best eSIM options for Albania, with reliable 4G/5G coverage across Tirana, Durrës, Shkodër, and major scenic corridors including the Albanian Riviera, the Accursed Mountains, and the Valbona Valley. The Call & SMS plan includes 20 GB of data and a local phone number, prepaid and activated via QR code. Rated 4.8/5 by over 500,000 travelers worldwide.

Yes. Gohub eSIM works throughout Albania by connecting to trusted local networks. Purchase a plan at gohub.com, scan the QR code before departure, and your eSIM connects automatically when your device detects an Albanian network. Coverage is strong in Tirana, Durrës, and along the Riviera coast, though remote areas of the Accursed Mountains and the Albanian Alps may have limited signal.

Install the eSIM via Wi-Fi before your trip. On iPhone, go to Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM. On Android, go to Settings > Connections > SIM Manager (Samsung) or Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs (Pixel and others). Your eSIM activates automatically when your device first connects to an Albanian network after landing — plan validity only begins at that point.

Yes. Gohub eSIM costs far less than standard carrier roaming, which runs $5–$15 per day with most US providers. Albania is outside the EU, meaning travelers receive no EU roaming protections and standard roaming rates can be especially high. Gohub Albania plans deliver full-speed data up to your cap, then reduce to 128 kbps.

A 1–2 week trip to Albania typically needs 10–20 GB for moderate use — Tirana navigation, Albanian Riviera maps, messaging, and social media. The Gohub Albania 20 GB Call & SMS plan covers most itineraries comfortably, including road trips along the Riviera from Vlorë to Sarandë, and into the Valbona and Theth valleys. Download offline maps before entering remote highland areas.

Yes. A Wi-Fi connection is required to download the eSIM profile. Complete this at home before departure. Once installed, your Gohub Albania eSIM connects to local networks without Wi-Fi, exactly like any standard mobile data plan.

Yes. Gohub eSIM runs alongside your physical home SIM using your phone's dual-SIM capability. Keep your home SIM active for calls and texts from home while the Gohub eSIM handles Albanian data. Turn Data Roaming OFF on your home SIM and ON for the Gohub Albania eSIM to avoid unexpected charges.

Gohub eSIM for Albania works with all eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked smartphones — including iPhone XS/XR and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, and Google Pixel 3 and later. Your phone must be network-unlocked; carrier-locked devices will not accept a third-party eSIM. Check Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM on iPhone, or SIM Manager on Android, to confirm support.

Yes. Gohub eSIM maintains 4G/5G connectivity along the Albanian Riviera coast from Vlorë to Sarandë and Ksamil, as well as in Tirana and major cities. Signal is strong in coastal towns and along the SH8 Riviera highway. Coverage may be weaker in the Valbona and Theth gorges, on remote Accursed Mountain trails, and in less-populated highland villages.

Only on the Call & SMS plan. The 20 GB Call & SMS plan (30 days) includes a local phone number for calls and SMS, labeled "Local phone number France" as it is issued through the Zone 1 multi-country network covering Albania and 70+ destinations. Data-only plans do not include a number but fully support WhatsApp and other VoIP apps.
