Using a local eSIM in Albania is a convenient way to get internet access without needing a physical SIM card. You can easily connect to local operators such as Vodafone Albania or ALBtelecom using an eSIM, which is often cheaper than international roaming.
Mobile internet speeds in Albania’s major cities, such as Tirana and Durrës, are usually between 20 and 50 Mbps. In rural areas speeds may be lower, but overall they are generally stable enough for browsing and streaming video.
To activate an eSIM in Albania, you need to scan the QR code provided by your eSIM provider. After activation, the eSIM will automatically connect to one of the local networks, and you’ll be able to use the internet right away.
Most modern smartphones from Apple, Samsung, and Google support eSIM technology. Before traveling to Albania, make sure your phone is unlocked and eSIM-compatible to avoid any connectivity issues.

Couldn't find the QR setting on my Samsung at first. Support replied quickly and walked me through it.
First time using an eSIM — the email guide got me set up in three minutes.
My main SIM stayed in place, bank SMS kept coming while data went through the eSIM. Handy.
