The best eSIM for Serbia in 2026. Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Serbia, priced on the same day: two weeks unlimited for $31.99, a month for $59.99, which to buy.
Prices read on 28 September 2026. Six travel eSIMs sell a Serbia plan and get most of the traffic for this search. We priced all six on the same day, for a long weekend in Belgrade, two weeks between Novi Sad, the Danube and the western mountains, and a month, and read the fine print on unlimited. Serbia is outside the EU, so your EU plan does not cover it at home prices. Here is where each one wins.
Ringo Light: Cheapest unlimited for two weeks or a month. Unlimited data at full speed for 2 weeks at $31.99 or 30 days at $59.99, one payment each, nothing renews. Airalo asks $48 for 15 days and $95 for the month.

Most first trips to Serbia run a week or two: a few days in Belgrade, a day in Novi Sad, then the Danube gorge or the western mountains by car. Unlimited data is dear here. For 15 days, Airalo asks $48, Saily $48.99 and Holafly $54.90, and Ubigi $39 for 30 GB at full speed. For a month, $95 to $106.50. Ringo Light charges $31.99 for 2 weeks and $59.99 for 30 days, one payment each, nothing renews.
Read what unlimited means before you pick. Airalo and Saily give 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps. Nomad gives 2 GB a day. Ubigi gives 20 GB for a week or 30 GB for 15 days, then 2 Mbps. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone and limits sharing to 1 GB a day. Ringo Light has no speed cap: the 2 weeks starts with 10 GB and the 30 days with 20 GB, and when you have used 80% we add 10 GB once and charge the $31.99 top-up. A heavy two weeks with us costs $63.98, more than every rival's 15 days, so if you will stream every evening, Ubigi's 30 GB for $39 is the better buy. A heavy month costs $91.98, still just under Airalo's $95 and every other month.
For a short trip, Ringo Light sells no 3-day or 7-day plan. Airalo sells 3 days of unlimited at $18.50, and Ubigi a week with 20 GB at full speed for $29, less than our 2 weeks at $31.99.
Serbia has three networks: mts (Telekom Srbija), the largest, Yettel, and A1. All three cover Belgrade, Novi Sad, Nis and the motorways well. Signal thins in the mountains and canyons of Tara, Kopaonik and Uvac, whichever network you are on. Holafly and Nomad list all three; Airalo rides A1 and Ubigi Yettel.
Serbia is not in the EU, and EU roam like at home does not cover it. This catches people who drive in from Hungary or Croatia, or fly in on an EU plan that was free the day before: at the border it can start charging by the megabyte or by the day. Turn the travel eSIM on for data before you cross, and switch data roaming off on your home line.
Nomad, $15 for 10 GB. Tied for the cheapest 10 GB over 30 days, and the cheapest 20 GB at $21, on A1, Yettel and mts.
Ubigi, $15 for 10 GB. On Yettel, installed by QR code. No 20 GB bucket; 25 GB for 30 days costs $39.
Saily, $17.99 for 10 GB. 20 GB at $26.99. Its listing is from June; saily.com refused the fetch.
Airalo, $18 for 10 GB. Its Serbia Mobile plan, 20 GB for $27, buckets from $4 for 1 GB.
Ringo Light, no buckets. Our 2 weeks starts with 10 GB for $31.99 and our 30 days with 20 GB for $59.99. For a fixed amount of data, Nomad, Ubigi, Saily and Airalo are all cheaper in Serbia, by a lot: Nomad's 20 GB costs $21, $38.99 less than our month. Buy Ringo Light for unlimited, not for a bucket. We would rather you read that here than at checkout.
Ringo Light is our own data eSIM, sold to fund the full Ringo, one plan that works everywhere with your own number ported onto it. For Serbia it sells two trips, both unlimited data at full speed with no speed cap: 2 weeks at $31.99, starting with 10 GB, and 30 days at $59.99, starting with 20 GB. Each adds 10 GB once at 80%, charged at $31.99. One payment, nothing renews. The eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan, no app.
Our Europe trip does not include Serbia, so for Serbia this is the trip to buy. The card to buy it is just below this article.
A long weekend in Belgrade. Airalo unlimited, 3 days, $18.50. Ringo Light sells no 3 days.

You need your own number to keep ringing. None of these travel plans does that. The full Ringo, which Ringo Light funds, ports the number you have.
What to do in Serbia, and what your phone needs for it. Eight places most first trips include, from Belgrade and Novi Sad to the Danube gorge in the east and the Tara and Uvac canyons in the west, with the one thing your data does for you at each. The cities and motorways have good 4G; in the mountains, plan for gaps.
Belgrade Fortress and Kalemegdan Park, Belgrade. The old fortress and its park sit on a ridge above the point where the Sava meets the Danube. Walk the walls in the late afternoon and stay for the sunset over New Belgrade. Order a taxi by app rather than hailing one at the park gate; CarGo works across Belgrade.
Church of Saint Sava, Vracar, Belgrade. One of the largest Orthodox churches in the world, white marble outside and gold mosaic under the dome inside. Go in the morning, when the light through the windows is best. Serbia writes in both Cyrillic and Latin. Translation by camera reads the Cyrillic signs and menus.
Petrovaradin Fortress, Novi Sad. An 18th-century fortress on a rock above the Danube, across the bridge from Novi Sad's old town. Its clock tower has the hands swapped, the big one for hours, so boatmen could read it from the river. The fast train from Belgrade takes well under an hour. Check the departures and buy the ticket on your phone before you reach the station.
Golubac Fortress, Djerdap National Park, on the Danube. A medieval fortress of stone towers stepped up the cliff where the Danube narrows into the Iron Gates gorge. Drive the river road on from here for the gorge itself. Romania is across the river, and phones here can latch onto a Romanian network. If your data drops, set network selection to manual.
Studenica Monastery, Near Kraljevo. A 12th-century monastery founded by Stefan Nemanja, on the UNESCO World Heritage list, with a white marble church and frescoes from the early 1200s. Dress modestly: covered shoulders and knees. It lies in a quiet valley off the Ibar road. Download the offline map in Kraljevo before you drive up.
The meanders of the Uvac, Uvac Special Nature Reserve. The Uvac river winds through a limestone canyon in tight loops, home to a large colony of griffon vultures. The classic view is from the Molitva lookout, reached by boat and a short climb. Signal is thin on the lake. Agree the boat pickup time by message while you still have bars.
Banjska Stena viewpoint, Tara National Park. A rock ledge high above the Drina canyon and Lake Perucac, at the end of a forest walk inside Tara National Park. Clearest in the morning, before the haze rises. The forest roads and trails have long stretches without signal. Download the hiking map before you leave Bajina Basta or Mitrovac.
The Sargan Eight railway, Mokra Gora. A narrow-gauge heritage railway that climbs the mountain in a figure of eight through tunnels and over bridges, running in the warmer months. Drvengrad, the wooden village on the hill above, is a short drive away. Summer trains fill up. Check the day's departures and book ahead on your phone.
We priced Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Serbia on 28 September 2026, all on the same day, in US dollars. Each rival's price comes from its own website where it showed dollars, otherwise from an esimdb.com listing, and every source and its date is listed below. Ringo Light's prices come from the catalogue our checkout charges.
We compare the trips people actually book: a week, two weeks and a month of unlimited data, and a 10 GB bucket. We read each brand's fair use and speed rules and quote them as the brands state them. We did not run speed tests, so this page makes no speed claims for any brand.
Ringo Light is our own product. We put it in the table on the same terms as everyone else, and where a rival is the better buy the page says so.
Left out: Maya Mobile, we could not read its own prices for this country on the day, so it stays out rather than being guessed.

For two weeks or a month of unlimited data, Ringo Light: $31.99 for 2 weeks and $59.99 for 30 days on 28 September 2026, against $48 for 15 days and $95 for 30 days at Airalo. For 3 days, Airalo at $18.50. For a week, Ubigi at $29 for 20 GB. For a 10 GB bucket, Nomad or Ubigi at $15; for 20 GB, Nomad at $21.
Airalo rides A1, Ubigi Yettel, and Holafly and Nomad list A1, Yettel and mts. Saily does not name its network on its listing. All cover the cities and motorways; signal thins in the mountains and canyons on every network.
Every brand has a limit somewhere. Airalo and Saily slow you after 3 GB a day, Nomad after 2 GB, Ubigi after its fixed full-speed amount. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone. Ringo Light has no speed cap: it starts with 10 or 20 GB and adds 10 GB once at 80%, charged.
Not at home prices. Serbia is outside the EU, so EU roam like at home does not apply there. Some EU operators sell a day pass for Serbia, many charge by the megabyte. Check yours before you go, or put a travel eSIM on for data and switch roaming off on your home line.
