Heads up, budget travelers! North Macedonia is not yet part of the European Union. This means that the convenient 'Roam Like at Home' policies you enjoy within the EU won't apply here.

To avoid unexpected bills and keep your travel budget happy, a SouthESIM plan for North Macedonia is a much more affordable and practical choice.
