Coverage and networks

North Macedonia is served mainly by A1 and Telekom (Makedonski Telekom), the country's two largest operators. Both offer strong 4G across Skopje, Ohrid, Bitola and other towns, and 5G is being expanded in the main cities. Coverage along populated areas, main roads and the popular Lake Ohrid region is reliable. Mountainous and rural areas can see weaker signal, but overall network quality is good for a traveller. Networks: A1, Telekom.

For a typical visit with maps, social media and messaging, 3-5 GB comfortably covers a week or two in the cities and around Lake Ohrid.

As an EU candidate outside the EU, roaming here is not part of EU roam-like-home rules, so a local eSIM avoids surprise charges on a standard European plan.
