Data in North Macedonia: Skopje, Ohrid and Matka
Trips usually run from Skopje to Lake Ohrid and Matka Canyon. Maps and messages need data, and on long drives your own connection is handier than a guesthouse's wifi. In Skopje, maps and messaging are easy.
This eSIM uses the A1 network, formerly known as VIP. Coverage is generally good in Skopje and Ohrid. In the mountains and national parks such as Mavrovo the signal can vary, so download maps for offline use.
North Macedonia is outside the EU roaming zone, so check your provider's roaming terms if you plan to use your own plan. A local SIM can be bought in town or at the airport, but it must be registered and means a shop visit. The eSIM is installed beforehand. The plan is data only, and your own number stays in the phone. Lake Ohrid sits on the Albanian border, and near it the phone may join an Albanian network. The road from Skopje to Ohrid crosses mountainous country, so load your maps in advance.
