Local know-how
What to know before you land in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Coverage and networks
Three operators split the country much as its institutions do. BH Telecom, run from Sarajevo and 90 percent owned by the Federation, is the safe default through central Bosnia and the Bihać corner. m:tel, based in Banja Luka and 65 percent owned by Telekom Srbija, is the reflex across Republika Srpska. Mostar's HT Eronet, which sells prepaid under the !hej brand, is thickest through Herzegovina. All three run 4G+ and none has launched a commercial 5G network, so 4G is the ceiling countrywide. Signal thins off the valley floors: the Sutjeska plateaus under Maglić, the Prenj and Čvrsnica massifs, the Neretva canyon and its tunnels. No Bosnian city has a metro. Around Neum, Brčko and the Drina, phones drift onto Croatian and Serbian masts.
Landing and activation
Sarajevo handled 2.2 million passengers in 2025 and still clears arrivals quickly, but it advertises no terminal-wide free Wi-Fi, only whatever the cafes offer, so there is no SMS-code trap and nothing much to log into either. BH Telecom sells Ultra tourist packs at the airport, and also at bus and train stations and kiosks carrying the Ultra sticker. Get your passport stamped in and out: border police fine travellers whose stamps do not add up. Every foreigner must also be registered with police within 72 hours, which hotels handle and a private apartment host may not. Winter fog routinely diverts Sarajevo flights. Banja Luka runs on Ryanair, Tuzla regained a Wizz Air base in December 2025, and many visitors skip airports entirely, busing in from Dubrovnik or Belgrade.
What connectivity costs here
The mark is pegged at 1.96 to the euro, so halve a KM price. Local data is absurdly cheap: 20 KM, near 10 euros, buys HT Eronet's !hej Tourist starter with 50 GB; BH Telecom's packs run 31.70 KM for 40 GB over ten days and 51.70 KM for 100 GB over a month; m:tel sells a tourist eSIM online at 35 KM. Nobody asks for a passport; kiosks and petrol stations stock them. Buy the bundle first: BH Telecom's out-of-bundle prepaid rate is 0.50 KM a megabyte. Ask in a cafe or a pension and you get the password, so a bundle buys the road between towns. Bosnia sits outside the EU free-roaming zone, and the Council only cleared talks on admitting the region in June 2026.
Which plan fits your trip
Bosnia is a driving country and driving burns the data: the M17 down the Neretva, the loop through Blagaj, Počitelj and Kravice, the haul to Sutjeska. Navigation runs for hours, and translation earns its keep where signs swap script. Pull offline maps for the canyons and stay on marked paths: the mine warnings are not decoration. Neither Uber nor Bolt operates here; booking runs on Viber and WhatsApp, from Sarajevo's Žuti Taxi to rafting camps. A long weekend in the capital, cafe Wi-Fi carrying the evenings, wants 3 to 5 GB; two weeks with a car deserves 8 to 10. Local tourist SIMs roam across Serbia, Montenegro, Albania, Kosovo and North Macedonia but not Croatia, where most of these trips begin or end, so buy a plan listing Croatia.

Crossing borders?
Going to more than just Bosnia and Herzegovina?
A regional bundle covers Bosnia and Herzegovina and 41+ other countries on a single eSIM, often cheaper than buying separate single-country plans for a multi-stop trip.
Frequently asked about Bosnia and Herzegovina eSIMs
Yes. The GetSim eSIM installs as a second profile on your phone. Your home SIM and number stay active for calls and SMS. Set the GetSim eSIM as the default for cellular data only.
Plans run on tier-1 mobile networks in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The exact carrier depends on the plan; you'll see the network name on each plan card before you pay.
Typical activation is 1–3 minutes after switching the eSIM on. Many travelers install the eSIM at home over Wi-Fi and toggle it on the moment the plane lands.
GetSim eSIMs are data-only. For voice and SMS, use apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, Signal or Telegram. They all work seamlessly over the eSIM data. If you need a real phone number for verifications, pair the eSIM with a GetSim virtual number from the same wallet.
Top up the eSIM directly from your dashboard or the GetSim app, no need to install a new profile. Top-ups are billed per-GB at the same rate as the original plan.
