⚡ The 30-Second Answer
BH Telecom's own tourist eSIM
Real and reasonably modern: Ultra Tourist prepaid packages are available as eSIM via BH Telecom's webshop or shops. Bosnian law requires a valid passport or ID — submitted online for webshop orders — and the QR code arrives by email. Good value if you're happy with the ID step and a Bosnian-oriented checkout.
The same network, zero paperwork
eSIMfly's Bosnia plans connect to BH Telecom and HT Eronet (verified against our network database) from $2.73 — installed before your trip, no ID submission, no registration, instant email delivery, English checkout.

Getting BH Telecom's Ultra Tourist eSIM
Choose an Ultra Tourist package
BH Telecom offers Ultra Tourist 1, Ultra Tourist 2, and Ultra Tourist Group prepaid packages designed for visitors, all available as eSIM. Current bundle contents and prices are on bhtelecom.ba.
Order via the webshop or a shop
Online: register on the BH Telecom webshop, submit your ID/passport as required by Bosnian registration law, and pay by card. In person: any BH Telecom point of sale with your passport.
Install from the emailed QR code
Webshop orders receive the eSIM installation parameters and QR code by email — scan under Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM.
Fair verdict: BH Telecom's tourist eSIM is one of the better local-operator offerings in the region — genuinely buyable online. The friction points are the ID submission, account registration, and a checkout built for the local market. If those don't bother you, it's a good option.

BH Telecom eSIM FAQ
Does BH Telecom offer eSIM for tourists?
Yes — the Ultra Tourist prepaid packages (Ultra Tourist 1, 2, and Group) support eSIM, sold through BH Telecom's webshop and shops. Passport/ID is required by Bosnian law; webshop orders handle it online and deliver the QR code by email.
Which travel eSIM uses BH Telecom?
eSIMfly's Bosnia plans connect to BH Telecom and HT Eronet, from $2.73 (1GB/7 days). Same network as the local option, no registration, installed before you arrive.
Is BH Telecom coverage good in Mostar and Medjugorje?
Yes — the classic tourist route (Sarajevo, Mostar, Medjugorje, Jajce, Travnik, Blagaj) is well covered. In Herzegovina, HT Eronet is particularly strong, which is why having both networks on one eSIM helps. Remote mountain roads have dead spots on every carrier.
Will my EU SIM work in Bosnia?
Not at EU rates — Bosnia is outside the EU roaming zone, so EU plans bill international roaming here. This also bites briefly on the Croatian coastal road at the Neum corridor. See our Balkans guide for the full multi-country strategy.
Bosnia only, or the whole region?
For Bosnia alone, the local Bosnia plan is cheapest. Crossing borders (Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia), take a Europe Max regional plan — it covers the entire route on one eSIM, from $2.71.
