Here is the part most travellers miss. Bosnia and Herzegovina sits outside the European Union, so your EU or UK "roam like at home" allowance stops working the moment you cross the border. GleeSim hands you a working data plan through a single WhatsApp message, from $8.67 for 5 GB. No app to download, no account to create, no queue at the airport kiosk.
The world's first travel eSIM managed entirely through WhatsApp. Buy, check your balance, and top up in the same chat.
Your GleeSim eSIM connects to the country's established mobile infrastructure, the same towers local subscribers use every day. Signal reaches from the Sarajevo valley through the Neretva canyon and out to the Herzegovina plateau.
Bosnia and Herzegovina rewards the curious. Ottoman bridges, Austro-Hungarian facades, a Marian shrine that draws close to a million visitors a year, and mountain roads that empty out fast. Losing signal on any of it is a small tragedy.
Bosnia falls outside EU roaming rules, which catches out plenty of UK and European visitors. Bills of several pounds per megabyte are common. Your GleeSim plan is fixed before you travel.
Buy it, activate it, check the balance, and top up without ever leaving a chat window. This is the only travel eSIM built this way, and it is why GleeSim exists.
Message us, pick a plan, and your QR code lands in the same thread. Scan it at home over WiFi. Nothing else to arrange before your flight.
Group leaders keep everyone reachable across the parish, Apparition Hill, and the walk up Krizevac. One chat handles the whole coach party's data, the same way it does on our Saudi Arabia Hajj and Umrah plans.
Your physical SIM stays exactly where it is. Calls and texts on your usual number keep arriving while GleeSim quietly carries the data.
Running low halfway through a Herzegovina road trip? Send one message. More data arrives on the eSIM you already installed, no second QR code needed.
Short city break in Sarajevo, a week following the Neretva south, or a longer Balkan loop. Pick the plan that matches the trip, not the other way round. Every price below already includes the 10% discount.
Quick guide: Bosnia-only plans give you far more data for your money. Choose a GlobalESIM plan only if your itinerary crosses into other countries, since those work across Bosnia and Herzegovina plus 44 more destinations.

View OfferCoverage across Bosnia and Herzegovina is strong in populated areas and along the main routes. Mountain terrain does what mountain terrain always does, so expect the occasional gap on high passes and in deep canyons.

Crossing a border on this trip? Your GleeSim eSIM switches destination on request, so the same profile carries you into Turkey on the Istanbul leg or back into Germany and the Netherlands for the flight home.

Hardly anyone flies into Sarajevo and straight home again. Bosnia usually sits inside a bigger route, so here is where GleeSim travellers head next. One WhatsApp message switches your existing eSIM to any of them, no second QR code required.
No. Bosnia and Herzegovina is not an EU member state, so it falls outside the "roam like at home" arrangements that cover EU and EEA countries. UK and European operators normally treat it as a rest-of-world destination, and per-megabyte charges there climb quickly. A travel eSIM removes the guesswork entirely because you know the cost before you leave.
That depends on what irritates you most about the alternatives. If it is downloading yet another app and creating yet another account, GleeSim is the clear answer: it is the only Bosnia and Herzegovina eSIM managed entirely through WhatsApp, with your QR code delivered inside a minute and support running through the same conversation.
You do not. GleeSim is the world's first travel eSIM run completely through WhatsApp. Purchase, delivery, balance checks, top-ups, and support all happen in a chat you already use daily. There is no app, no dashboard, and no password to reset at the worst possible moment.
Yes. Medjugorje sits in the Herzegovina region with solid 4G coverage across the parish grounds, the guesthouse district, and the approaches to Apparition Hill and Krizevac. Pilgrimage groups use it to stay coordinated across a site that spreads out further on foot than most people expect.
Most phones released since roughly 2018 support eSIM, including recent iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, and many Huawei and Motorola models. Your handset also needs to be carrier unlocked. If the technology itself is new to you, start with our plain-English explainer on what an eSIM is. Not sure about your model? Send it on WhatsApp and we will confirm before you pay anything.
This trips up a lot of people driving down from Dubrovnik for a Mostar and Kravice day trip. Croatia is in the EU and Bosnia is not, so a Croatia-only plan will stop working at the border. GleeSim can activate a different destination on the eSIM you already have installed, so message us before you cross and we will sort it out. The same works in reverse for onward legs, whether that is Turkey, Spain or anywhere across our destination range.
Install the profile at home over WiFi, then leave it switched off. The plan itself starts counting when the eSIM first connects to a network in Bosnia. Landing at Sarajevo with the profile already installed means you simply toggle Data Roaming on and go. The activation guide covers both iPhone and Android.
No. GleeSim provides data only, which is what almost every traveller actually needs. Your calls and messages keep arriving on your regular number, and WhatsApp, Viber, and Signal all run over the data connection as normal.
We warn you before it happens and send a reload link in the chat. Top up in a few taps and your existing eSIM keeps working. No second installation, no fresh QR code, no trip to a shop with a phrasebook.
Yes. Coverage at the airport and along the road into the city is reliable, so you can order a ride or check into your accommodation before you have even left the terminal.
Sarajevo's coffee houses, the dive off Stari Most, a pilgrimage to Medjugorje, or a winter week on Jahorina. GleeSim keeps you connected without the non-EU roaming bill, the SIM card queue, or a single app to install. Travelling further? Browse all GleeSim destinations.
