eSIM for Lithuania
Lithuania runs on apps. You order a Bolt in Vilnius Old Town rather than flag a taxi, you buy a bus ticket in Trafi on the way to the stop, you unlock a CityBee car with your phone and you pay for almost everything by card. Cash is rare enough that some cafes look surprised when you pull out a note. All of that needs data from the moment you leave the airport.
The country is also small and easy to cover in a week. Vilnius to Trakai is half an hour, Kaunas an hour and a half, Klaipėda and the Curonian Spit about three and a half hours west. Nida, the Hill of Crosses and the Aukštaitija lakes are the kind of places where offline maps help but live data is what actually gets you a ferry time or a room for the night.
A FairSIM eSIM connects to Telia, Bitė or Tele2, the three national networks, with 5G on Telia and Tele2 in the main cities and 4G LTE almost everywhere else. One rule worth knowing before you travel: Lithuania borders Belarus and the Kaliningrad region, and close to those borders a phone left on automatic selection can grab a network on the other side. That is outside your plan, so pick a Lithuanian network manually if you are driving the eastern or southwestern edge of the country.

Coverage in Lithuania
- 4G LTE
- 5G
- TeliaThe largest Lithuanian network, with 5G in Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda and most larger towns, and 4G LTE across the country including the coast and the national parks.
- BitėNationwide 4G LTE on this eSIM, strong in the cities and along the main highways. No 5G on the travel eSIM profile.
- Tele2Very wide 4G footprint, including small towns and rural roads, plus 5G in Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda and other urban areas.
Typical speed: Mobile data in Lithuania is fast and cheap by European standards. In Vilnius and Kaunas you can expect speeds comfortable for video calls, streaming and hotspot work; rural 4G is slower but steady.
Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda, Šiauliai, Panevėžys, the A1 motorway and the coast are all well covered. The Curonian Spit has service in Nida, Juodkrantė and Smiltynė, with weaker patches in the forest and dunes between them. Expect thinner coverage deep in Aukštaitija and Dzūkija national parks.
How much data do you need in Lithuania?
It depends on how you travel. Find your trip below, then pick the plan that matches. You can always top up in the app.
Vilnius city break, 3 to 5 nights
Old Town, Užupis, museums and a day trip to Trakai.
Why data matters: Bolt rides, Trafi bus and trolleybus tickets, restaurant bookings, Google Maps in a street grid that is not intuitive, and photos uploading all day.

What your home carrier charges in Lithuania
Daily roaming passes look small until you multiply them by the length of the trip. FairSIM plans for Lithuania start at $5.99 and never bill per day.
Lithuania is in the EU, so EU and EEA carriers apply roam-like-at-home rules and your domestic allowance usually works at no extra cost. Non-EU carriers charge daily passes.
| Carrier | Roaming charge | FairSIM |
|---|---|---|
| AT&T International Day Pass (US) | $12 per day per line, $6 for additional lines | from $5.99, no daily fee |
| Verizon TravelPass (US) | $12 per day, high-speed data then slowed | from $5.99, no daily fee |
| EE (UK) | about £2.59 per day in Europe on plans without an inclusive roaming pass | from $5.99, no daily fee |
| Vodafone UK | about £2.42 per day in Europe, cheaper on multi-day passes | from $5.99, no daily fee |
| Orange (France) and Telekom (Germany) | included at domestic rates under EU roam-like-at-home, subject to fair use limits | from $5.99, no daily fee |
| Telstra Day Pass (Australia) | A$10 per day for 2 GB | from $5.99, no daily fee |
Carrier prices as published on their roaming pages at the time of writing. They change often; check your own plan before you fly.
How FairSIM works
- 1
Pick a destination and a plan
Choose the country or region and the data you need. The price you see is the price you pay.
- 2
Tap install
On iPhone (iOS 17.4+) the eSIM installs in one tap, no QR code. Do it at home while you still have Wi-Fi.
- 3
Land and connect
Turn on data roaming for the FairSIM line when you arrive. Your plan starts when it first connects.
Connectivity tips for Lithuania
Install the eSIM at home over Wi-Fi and switch the line on after landing. Validity usually starts at the first connection to a Lithuanian network.
Near the Belarus border or the Kaliningrad side, set network selection to manual and pick Telia, Bitė or Tele2. Automatic selection can latch onto a network across the border that your plan does not cover.
The train from Vilnius Airport to the central station takes about seven minutes and costs about a euro, faster than a taxi in traffic.
Buy and activate transport tickets in Trafi before you board; inspectors check and a paper option is not always available.
Card payments work nearly everywhere, so carry very little cash; keep a few euros for rural markets.
Download Google Maps for Vilnius and the Curonian Spit offline. Forest and dune stretches between Juodkrantė and Nida can drop to nothing.
Winter cold drains phone batteries fast. A power bank matters more in January than in July.
Keep your home SIM active for bank verification codes, with its data roaming switched off so it does not bill you.
Apps you will actually use
- Bolt the main ride app in Vilnius, Kaunas and Klaipėda, plus e-scooters and car sharing.
- Trafi journey planning and public transport tickets in Vilnius; buy and activate the ticket on your phone before boarding.
- LTG Link train tickets, including the seven-minute airport shuttle into Vilnius station and the line to Kaunas and Klaipėda.
- CityBee car and van sharing across Lithuania, useful for a one-way trip to the coast.
- Wolt food and grocery delivery, widely used in every city.
- Google Maps reliable for Lithuanian streets and transit; download Vilnius and the Curonian Spit offline as a backup.
- Autobusubilietai.lt intercity coach tickets, often faster and cheaper than the train to smaller towns.
- Google Translate Lithuanian is not related to Russian or Polish; camera translation helps with menus and signs outside the capital.
Card and phone payments work almost everywhere, including buses, markets and small cafes, so you rarely need euros in cash. Most transport tickets are validated in the app, which means you need data at the moment you board.
Can you rely on free Wi-Fi?
Wi-Fi is easy to find. Vilnius Airport, the bus and train stations, hotels, coworking spaces and almost every cafe offer it free, many intercity coaches and LTG trains have onboard Wi-Fi, and some public squares in Vilnius have open networks. Quality varies a lot: cafe connections in the Old Town are often shared by a room full of laptops, and onboard Wi-Fi on the coast route drops in and out. It is fine for checking email, less reliable for a video call or for buying a bus ticket while the bus is pulling up, which is exactly when you want your own data.
Local SIM card or eSIM in Lithuania?
Telia, Bitė and Tele2 all sell prepaid in Lithuania, and the prepaid brands you will see on shelves are Pildyk (Tele2) and Ežys (Bitė), sold in supermarkets, kiosks and Narvesen stores for a few euros with generous data bundles. Prices are genuinely low. The catch is registration: prepaid users in Lithuania have to be identified, so you need a passport or ID and either a shop that can register you or a working Lithuanian bank or e-signature method to do it yourself. That is straightforward for residents and fiddly for a tourist arriving late at Vilnius Airport.
A FairSIM eSIM skips all of it. You install it at home over Wi-Fi, land, turn the line on and it roams onto Telia, Bitė or Tele2, the same towers a local card would use. There is no counter, no ID check and no leftover balance you cannot spend. If the trip continues to Latvia, Estonia or Poland, one Europe plan keeps working across borders rather than needing a new card in each country.

Lithuania eSIM questions
Does eSIM work in Lithuania?
Yes. Any unlocked eSIM-capable phone connects to Telia, Bitė or Tele2. On iPhone that means XS, XR or newer; most recent Pixel, Samsung Galaxy S and Galaxy Z models also support eSIM.
Which network will my Lithuania eSIM use?
Telia, Bitė or Tele2, depending on the plan. The app shows the host network before you buy, and your phone may switch between them if the plan allows it.
Is there 5G in Lithuania?
Yes, on Telia and Tele2 in Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda and other larger towns. Bitė is 4G on this eSIM. Outside the cities you will mostly use 4G LTE, which is fast and widely available.
Will my eSIM still work in Latvia, Estonia or Poland?
Only if you buy a Europe regional plan. A Lithuania-only plan stops at the border. If you are doing a Baltic loop, take the regional plan instead.
Can I use Personal Hotspot?
Yes. Every FairSIM plan supports Personal Hotspot, with no separate cap on tethered data.
Do I need a passport to get data in Lithuania?
For a local prepaid SIM, yes, because prepaid users have to be registered. A travel eSIM needs no ID and no shop visit.
How much data do I need for a week in Lithuania?
A city break with maps, rides and messaging runs about 3 to 5 GB a week. Add streaming, video calls or laptop tethering and 10 GB or more is safer.
Will WhatsApp, FaceTime and Zoom calls work?
Yes. Lithuania places no restrictions on internet calling, so messaging and video calls work normally on the eSIM.
Should I install the eSIM before or after I land?
Before. Install it over Wi-Fi at home, then enable the line and data roaming when you arrive at Vilnius, Kaunas or the Riga road crossing.
What is an eSIM?
A SIM card built into your phone. Instead of a plastic chip, you download a profile. Every iPhone since the XS has one next to the physical SIM slot, so your home number stays put while FairSIM supplies the data.
Is my phone compatible?
FairSIM works with eSIM-compatible, carrier-unlocked iPhones: the XS, XR and everything newer, on iOS 17.4 or later for the one-tap install with no QR code. iPhones bought in mainland China do not support eSIM at all, even when unlocked. Not sure yours is unlocked? Check Settings, General, About, Carrier Lock, or ask your carrier. The full list is on the How it works page.
When should I install my eSIM?
Before you travel, while you still have Wi-Fi. Installing does not start your plan; the validity typically starts when the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination.
Do FairSIM eSIMs come with a phone number?
No. FairSIM eSIMs are data-only by design, which keeps costs low. For calls and texts, your physical SIM stays active so you keep your existing number, and WhatsApp, FaceTime and iMessage work over data.
