Does the eSIM also work in the remote areas of the Carpathians and the Danube Delta?

Coverage in Romania reaches 93% of the territory, yet in the most rugged stretches of the Carpathians, or on the small islands of the Danube Delta, the signal can fall back to 4G or flicker in and out. Download offline maps before heading into the wildest places, so that you have them with or without a connection.

Romania is in the European Union: can I use my Italian operator's roaming?

Yes. Romania is in the EU, so free "Roam Like at Home" roaming applies, though often with a cap on speed or on the gigabytes usable while roaming. For a long stay or heavy data use (maps, streaming, video calls), a Datiovunque eSIM for Romania gives you greater reliability and speed, and no surprises on your bill.

Will I need a plug adapter in Romania?

No. Sockets in Romania are Type C and F, the same standard European ones as in Italy. Bring your own chargers from home without any adapter; the voltage is identical too (230V/50Hz).

What is the best time to visit Transylvania, and how do I find my way without speaking Romanian?

May to September is the ideal season, with lush green landscapes and castles, Bran included (wrongly linked to Dracula), easy to reach. As for language, Romanian is a Romance tongue and many Italians find it surprisingly easy to follow. Even so, an eSIM with data switched on lets you run translation apps and Google Maps in real time, making every move far simpler.

How much does an eSIM for Romania cost?

eSIM plans for Romania start from €0.99. You pay once for the amount of data you choose — no subscription, no monthly fees and no hidden roaming charges. Plans with more data or longer validity cost more.

Which operator or network does the eSIM use in Romania?

The eSIM in Romania connects automatically to local networks such as Orange Romania, Vodafone Romania, Digi (RCS & RDS) — on 4G/LTE and, where available, 5G. Coverage reaches about 93% in inhabited areas. Your phone picks the best available network by itself.

Can I keep my Italian number with the eSIM in Romania?

Yes. Your Italian SIM and number stay active — the travel eSIM works alongside it as a data-only line. You stay reachable on WhatsApp, iMessage or Wi-Fi while you use the local network to browse. Traditional calls and SMS still go through your Italian number.

Should I activate the eSIM before or after I leave?

Install the eSIM at home, on Wi-Fi, before you leave. The data plan then activates automatically when you connect in Romania. That way you are online as soon as you arrive, without looking for airport Wi-Fi or buying a local SIM.

Can I top up or renew the plan for Romania?

Yes. When the data runs out or the validity expires, just buy a new plan — the eSIM profile already installed is kept and does not need to be installed again. You stay connected without interruption.

Can I share the connection (hotspot) in Romania?

Yes. You can share the connection in Romania through a personal hotspot with a computer, tablet or other devices. Shared data is deducted from your plan, so allow a few extra gigabytes if you expect to use the hotspot often.

How many GB do I need for Romania?

For a normal trip, 1–3 GB a week is enough for maps, messages and occasional browsing. With social media and photo sharing allow about 5 GB; for streaming, video calls or a hotspot count on 10 GB or more. If the volume is not enough, you can buy an additional plan at any time.

Is the eSIM compatible with my phone?

The eSIM works with all compatible devices — including iPhone XS and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, and Google Pixel 3 and later. The phone must also be free of operator locks (not blocked). You can check compatibility in the settings under "Mobile data", or by dialling *#06# to see whether an EID code is shown.

Romania can still take you by surprise: medieval castles shrouded in Carpathian mist, the Danube Delta with its UNESCO World Heritage status, the buzzing nightlife of Bucharest and Transylvanian villages where time seems to have stopped. Even so, travelling from a painted monastery in Bukovina to the twisting Transfăgărășan roads calls for live navigation, current offline maps and the chance to book a local farm stay at the last minute. Activate a Datiovunque eSIM before leaving Rome and your mobile data is ready on landing in Bucharest, so you lose not a minute at the airport.

Why an eSIM is essential in Romania

Romania has leapt forward technologically in recent years. Big cities such as Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca and Timișoara have some of Europe's fastest 5G networks, and even in the countryside 4G reaches 93% of the territory. For a tourist, though, buying a local SIM can still be awkward. Operators' outlets are mainly in big-city shopping centres, and in rural or mountain areas, precisely where a connection is most precious for checking maps, finding one is almost impossible. An eSIM changes the picture entirely: you set it up at home before departure and it works the instant you arrive, over the network of Orange Romania, one of the country's most widespread operators. Romania also runs on UTC+2, the same as Rome in summer, so there is no jet lag to manage and calls with family back home remain easy. On the ski slopes of Poiana Brașov or paddling a kayak in the Danube Delta, you will always have the signal you need.

Going away for 1-2 weeks? Pick a plan with 3-5 GB for maps, photos and messages.

Business travellers

For video conferencing and email while travelling, we suggest at least 5 GB or an unlimited plan.

Backpackers

A longer trip is better served by 10+ GB, or by a regional plan that spans multiple countries.

For families with several devices we recommend a plan with tethering support and enough data.
