What a Soroca Mobile eSIM costs
The cheapest published plan on the Moldova travel eSIM is $4.50 for 1 GB valid 7 days. A 2 GB / 15 day plan is $8.50, and a 3 GB / 30 day plan is $11.50. The unlimited plan for 3 days is $12.50. That unlimited line is a different product from the 1 GB plan, so check the cart line before you pay.
Network
The plan is sold under the operator name Soroca Mobile and the supported country is Moldova. The product page publishes the speed as 4G. Do not plan on 5G. Throughput still depends on the mast, the handset, and the carrier Fair Usage Policy. Moldova is small enough that one national data plan covers Chișinău and the main roads out of the capital.
How much data you actually need
A long weekend of maps and chat fits in 1 GB if you use hotel Wi-Fi at night. A week with photo uploads is closer to 2 GB. A month of light backup use is the 3 GB / 30 day plan. Video calls and hotspot sharing are what push people onto the unlimited line.
Unlimited data
The published unlimited plan is $12.50 for 3 days. It is not an add-on to the $4.50 plan. Fair Usage Policy still applies, so a phone used as a router all day can be slowed even on an unlimited SKU.
Dual SIM
Leave the home SIM installed for calls and bank texts. Set mobile data to the Soroca Mobile line only. iPhone: Settings, Mobile Data. Android: Settings, Network, SIMs. Switch it on after you have a signal, not while the phone is still searching.
Arrival and transit
Most flights land at Chișinău International Airport (KIV). Install the eSIM on Wi-Fi before departure, then enable the data line after arrivals. No kiosk and no local ID are required for this plan.
Install
- Open the QR code from the order email on a Wi-Fi connection.
- Add an eSIM on the phone and scan the code. Name the line “Moldova”.
- After landing, set mobile data to that line. Keep the home number for SMS.
Phone compatibility
The handset has to be unlocked and eSIM-capable. iPhone XS and newer, plus current Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel phones, are the usual fit. A carrier lock blocks the install even when the QR code is valid.
FAQ

Soroca Mobile. The supported country is Moldova.
Q3: Does it include calls and SMS?
No. Data only. Use your home SIM for calls and one-time passwords.

September 2026, against the published variation prices on travelydata.com.
