What's Included in Every Romania eSIM Data Plan

No matter which data plan size you choose, these details apply to all.
CoverageRomania 🇷🇴

The eSIM works across borders in the countries listed below:

Romania
Top up anytime

Need more data? Buy a top-up anytime. If your current data plan is still active, your top-up will be queued and automatically activated when your plan runs out or expires. If your plan has already expired or you’ve used up all your data, the top-up will activate immediately after purchase. No need to buy or install a new eSIM for the same destination—just top up and stay connected.

After your eSIM expires, you have 160 days to top it up.

Available top-ups:
1GB - valid for 7 days, $4.50
2GB - valid for 15 days, $6.50
3GB - valid for 30 days, $8.00
5GB - valid for 30 days, $11.50
10GB - valid for 30 days, $17.00
20GB - valid for 30 days, $27.00
50GB - valid for 30 days, $51.50

Network Providers

WonderConnect eSIM in Romania works on Orange, delivering 5G and 4G service throughout Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Timisoara, Brasov, and Sibiu. This network offers solid performance in both urban centers and regional areas.

The Carpathian mountain region maintains good signals along major routes including the Transfagarasan highway.

The Black Sea coastal area around Constanta and Mangalia shows strong network performance.

Medieval town centers like Sighisoara's old quarter and the grounds surrounding Bran Castle also maintain solid data access. Popular ski resorts in Poiana Brasov and historic sites like Peles Castle also provide reliable connectivity.

In certain deeply forested valleys and isolated mountain areas you may lose signal. This limitation affects all providers in remote or uninhabited terrain.

Data-only plan - keep your usual phone number

WonderConnect eSIMs provide mobile internet only. This means you won’t get a local phone number and can't make traditional phone calls or send SMS. However, you can stay connected using apps like Messenger, WhatsApp, and others to make and receive voice and video calls.

Use eSIM as a mobile hotspot

Share your data with other devices and people. Most modern smartphones support a hotspot feature. Simply enable it in your device’s settings, and your phone will function like a Wi-Fi router.

Eco-friendly solution reducing plastic waste

eSIM technology eliminates the need to swap traditional SIM cards. By choosing eSIMs for your trips, you help reduce plastic waste and energy required for manufacturing, packaging, and shipping.

Using eSIM for Romania Travel

Transparent Data Pricing

Pay once for your data package before departure. Romanian roaming fees from international carriers can be unpredictable and expensive. WonderConnect shows total costs upfront - no hidden charges appear on your bill after returning home.

"Used WonderConnect during my ten-day trip through Transylvania. Worked perfectly in Brasov and Sibiu, even while hiking near Bran Castle. Got exactly what I paid for with no surprises."

Keep Your Number

Your original SIM remains in the device alongside the eSIM. Both operate simultaneously. This setup means banking apps still send verification codes to your primary number, while your Romania eSIM provides data. Your contacts, messages, and phone number stay accessible throughout the trip.

"My French number stayed active for work calls and bank notifications while WonderConnect handled all internet. Used it for navigation and video calls throughout the stay. Smart solution for business travel."

Access All Your Apps

Use Google Maps for Bucharest metro routes or mountain drives. Book train tickets through CFR Calatori app. Get rides with Bolt throughout Romanian cities. Check Info Transport Bucharest for trams and buses. Your eSIM keeps all apps running.

FAQ About Romania eSIM

wonders

How much data do I need for a week in Romania?

Plan for 5-10GB if your trip lasts seven days. The Info Transport Bucharest app uses only a few MB each day for tram and metro schedules. CFR Calatori for railway bookings and Bolt for transportation both consume very little data.

Daily photo uploads will add 2-3GB to your requirements. Using social media, especially watching TikToks or Reels on Instagram, can consume data quickly - even 3-5GB for 3 hours of daily use, depending on the video quality.

Working remotely with constant video calls or streaming content? You'll need 20GB package. Remember, you can always add more data by purchasing top-ups through the app or on the WonderConnect website.

wonders

What happens when my data plan expires?

Your eSIM stops working once the validity period ends or you use all your data. You can buy more data directly through the WonderConnect app or website. Top-ups activate automatically - you don't need to install anything again or change any settings.

We'll send you notifications when you reach 50% and 80% of your data, giving you time to buy more before running out. Top-up packages range from small plans like 1GB or 3GB to larger 10GB and 20GB options. Instead of choosing a bigger top-up, you can select a small one and see if it's enough. If not - you can keep topping up as needed.

wonders

Can I use my EU data plan in Romania?

Yes, if you're traveling from another EU country, your carrier's "roam like at home" policy applies in Romania. You can use part of your home data allowance without extra charges.

However, carriers limit how much roaming data you actually get. Your home plan might include 50GB, but you could only access 15-20GB while in Romania. Anything beyond that cap gets charged per gigabyte. Check your carrier's roaming limit before departure.
Many travelers choose eSIM even with EU roaming because it gives full control over costs and doesn't eat into their home data allowance. If you're staying longer than a week or need reliable connectivity for work, a prepaid eSIM often makes more sense.

wonders

Will I have signal in the Romanian Carpathians?

Your WonderConnect eSIM uses Orange network, which provides coverage along major mountain routes including the Transfagarasan highway. Popular tourist areas like Peles Castle and Poiana Brasov maintain strong signals. You shouldn't have connectivity problems for typical mountain travel.

Worth knowing: deeply forested valleys and very remote hiking trails may have weak signal or no coverage at all. This affects all mobile networks in challenging terrain, not just eSIMs.

wonders

Can I buy an eSIM while I'm already in Romania?

Yes! You can purchase your travel eSIM even after arriving at your destination. The only difference from buying it before your trip is that we'll guide you to activate it immediately, allowing you to connect to a local network right away.

With travel eSIM you decide when to buy it - either before the travels, on the go using WonderConnect app, or after you arrive at your destination.

wonders

When does my eSIM plan start?

Your eSIM plan starts when you first connect to mobile data at your destination.
You can install the eSIM anytime - even weeks before your trip. Installation does not start the validity period (unless you bought an eSIM for your home country; or a regional package that includes coverage for your home country. Example: Europe → Germany).

The countdown begins only when your eSIM connects to a mobile network at your destination. For this to happen, your eSIM must be turned on, selected as your mobile data line, and have data roaming enabled.

wonders

Can I use eSIM on my phone?

To use an eSIM, your device needs to be eSIM-compatible and carrier-unlocked. If you find your phone on our compatibility list, it most likely supports eSIM technology. In some cases, eSIM compatibility depends on where your phone model was manufactured. That's why we advise you to check our list before you buy one of our Romania eSIM plans.

Carrier-unlocked means your home carrier (your mobile service provider) isn't restricting your phone from connecting to other networks. While carrier locks are becoming less common, if you're unsure, it's best to contact your provider. Just ask if they allow the use of digital SIM cards/eSIMs. If they do, you're free to avoid high roaming costs and enjoy affordable eSIM mobile data!

wonders

How do I set up eSIM for Romania?

Setting up your eSIM requires 2 steps: installation and mobile data activation.

Step 1: Install your eSIM

Your eSIM for Romania is ready to install immediately after purchase. You can install it anytime - even weeks before your trip. Installation does not start the validity period.

To install, choose one of these methods:
• Scan the QR code we sent you right after purchase
• Use the WonderConnect app with step-by-step installation guide and illustrations

Step 2: Activate mobile data (at your destination)

Once you arrive, complete these 4 steps:
1. In your phone settings, turn on your eSIM
2. Select the Romania eSIM as your mobile data line
3. Enable data roaming for your eSIM (required to connect to foreign networks)
4. Turn off WiFi and test the connection by opening any website

Connection usually happens within seconds, but can take up to 10 minutes for your phone to catch the foreign network signal.
If you are using the WonderConnect app, activation instructions are accessible from the home screen.

wonders

Can I keep my SIM card and Romania eSIM at the same time?

Yes! Most modern smartphones support dual SIM, which means you can use both your physical SIM card and the WonderConnect eSIM simultaneously.

You install the eSIM and it works alongside your regular SIM card. You don't have to remove it from your phone.

Set the eSIM as your mobile data line. For your regular SIM card, you have two options:

• Turn it off completely to avoid roaming charges for incoming calls
• Keep it on for receiving calls and text messages

Don't worry - turning off your SIM card doesn't delete your number or contacts. You can turn it back on anytime directly from your phone settings

wonders

How can I top up my eSIM?

You can top up your Romania eSIM using the WonderConnect app or through your web account.

Log in to your account, if you have several eSIMs, select the one you want to top up and choose a top-up package. Finalize payment and that's it.

Your top-up activates automatically when your current plan ends or when you run out of data. You can purchase it anytime - even before you need it. After your eSIM expires or runs out of data, you have 160 days to top up to regain the internet connection on the same eSIM.

wonders

Can I use my Romania eSIM in other countries?

The eSIM for Romania works exclusively as a single-country plan. This means it only functions within the country's borders since it's designed to connect to local networks.

Planning to visit multiple countries? Consider our regional eSIMs for seamless connectivity across borders. This way, you can stay connected throughout your journey without needing to buy and switch numerous eSIMs. For broader coverage, check out our best eSIM plans for different regions.

wonders

How can I go back to using my regular SIM card for internet connection?

You can easily return to your original mobile data settings at any time. That's why eSIMs are a safe and convenient solution for travelers! After your trip, go to the mobile data/network settings and choose your main carrier as the mobile data provider.

wonders

How much does an eSIM cost for Romania?

eSIM prices for Romania start at $4.50.
