Setup
Set up your eSIM before you travel — it takes about a minute. Scan once, switch it on when you arrive, and you’re online.

9 plans for Croatia, from 3 to 50 GB. Validity runs from 1 day to 180 days. 9 of them run on 5G where the local network has it.
6 plans can be topped up without installing a second eSIM. Plans run on Tele2, A1.
Counted from our live catalogue, not a marketing figure — the plan list above this section is the same data.
No regional bundle covers Croatia — a single-country plan is the only option here, which is usually the cheaper one anyway.
A travel eSIM for Croatia is a digital SIM your phone downloads — no plastic card, no airport pickup counter. You buy online, tap the install link we email you (a QR code is included too), and it installs a second line alongside your existing SIM. It stays dormant until you arrive in Croatia, then connects automatically to Tele2, A1 on 5G where available and LTE everywhere else. Your home number keeps working for calls and texts; the eSIM simply carries your data.
Maps, messaging and rideshare apps are light — roughly 300–500 MB a day. Add photos, social and the occasional video and you’re closer to 1 GB a day. For a one-week trip a 5 GB plan is comfortable; for two weeks, sharing, or heavy use, choose 10 GB or more, or a reloadable plan you can top up on the go. Croatia plans start at $4.99 across 7 sizes, with the per-GB price shown on every one so the right choice is obvious.
No. A travel eSIM for Croatia is a local data plan, not international roaming — you pay the price you see up front, with no per-megabyte bill from your home carrier. Set the eSIM as your data line and switch data roaming off on your home SIM, and there are no surprises when you get home. Full refund any time before you install, so there’s no risk in buying ahead.
