Picture stepping off the plane in Split, phone already buzzing with maps, ferry times and that first beach photo upload. With a Croatia eSIM, you're online the moment you land, no SIM swap, no roaming shock.
Why use an eSIM in Croatia

- No plastic SIM to find or swap
- Set it up before you fly
- Keep your home number active for calls and texts
- Pay a flat, predictable price

FAQ
Will my phone work with an eSIM? Most phones from 2018 onward support eSIM, including iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3+, and recent Samsung Galaxy models. Check Settings for an "Add eSIM" option.
When should I install it? Install before you leave home while on Wi-Fi. You can choose to activate the plan on arrival so your days only start counting once you're in Croatia.
Can I keep WhatsApp on my normal number? Yes. WhatsApp is tied to your phone number, not your data SIM. Your eSIM just provides internet, so all your apps and chats keep working as usual.
