Looking for a SuperSim alternative?

If you're travelling from Albania — to Italy, Greece, Germany, the UK or further — and comparing SuperSim with other eSIM apps, the useful question is simple: which one has the best plan for where you're going?

SoloSim sells data plans for 190+ countries, and regional bundles that cover a whole European trip on one data balance. Buy on the website or in the app for iPhone and Android, install before you leave, and you're online when you land.

Find a plan for your trip

SoloSim at a glance

  • Single-country plans for 202 countries, plus regional and global bundles.
  • Data from $0.01 per GB.
  • Fixed-data plans, plus unlimited or day-pass plans where a destination offers them.
  • Buy on the website or in the app for iPhone and Android.
  • Live data balance, expiry and top-ups in the app.

What to compare before you choose

  1. Price for your exact trip. Compare the same data and the same number of days for your destination, not headline prices.
  2. Coverage for every stop. For multi-country trips, check the regional bundle includes every country on your route.
  3. What happens when data runs out. Check whether you can top up the same eSIM, and whether unlimited plans slow down after heavy use.
  4. Network and speed. Look at which networks and speeds (4G/5G) the plan uses in your destination.
  5. Your phone supports eSIM. Make sure your phone is eSIM-compatible and not carrier-locked before you buy.

Questions

Is there an eSIM for travelling from Albania to the EU?

Yes. Buy a plan for the country you're visiting, or a Europe bundle if your trip covers several EU countries. Your Albanian SIM keeps your number for calls and texts.

Should I install the eSIM before I travel?

Installing at home over Wi-Fi is easiest. Then switch mobile data to the eSIM when you arrive. The plan page shows when its validity period starts.

Can I keep my old eSIM and add SoloSim?

Yes. Most eSIM phones store several eSIMs at once. Install SoloSim alongside your other eSIMs and choose which one to use for mobile data in your phone's settings — nothing needs deleting.

Can I switch to SoloSim in the middle of a trip?

Yes. Buy a plan, install the eSIM over Wi-Fi or your current data, then set SoloSim as the line for mobile data and turn on data roaming for it. Any data left on your old eSIM stays there until it expires.

Will my phone number change?

No. SoloSim plans are for mobile data. Your usual SIM keeps your number for calls and texts, and WhatsApp and iMessage keep working with your normal number.
