Coverage and networks

Romania is served by Orange, Vodafone and Digi (Digi Mobil). Orange and Digi have the broadest 4G coverage, reaching well over 99 percent of the population. 5G is available in cities such as Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Timisoara and Iasi; in remote Carpathian villages the network is thinner. Networks: Orange, Vodafone, Digi.

For city breaks and navigation, 5 GB is plenty. If you are travelling through the Carpathians or Transylvania, bring 10 GB or more for the road.

Romania is part of the EU, so your home subscription works there at no extra cost via roam-like-at-home; an eSIM is mainly handy as an extra data bundle.
