The story behind BuddySIM
BuddySIM was born during my parental leave, out of real frustration. Expensive roaming fees, stressful queues at the airport with small children and a complicated hunt for SIM cards on site? It doesn't have to be like that.
A holiday is the best time of the year and should be worry-free! That's why I founded BuddySIM, so you can focus on what matters most on holiday: relaxing and spending time with your loved ones.

FAQ
How does the eSIM differ from a traditional SIM card?
The eSIM is digital and activated via QR code – no swap, no shop visit needed. Settings and profiles land directly on your device. More flexibility, less effort.
Which providers are the best for Serbia?
Favourites include BuddySIM, Airalo, Revolut, Vodafone Travel, Saily and Holafly. They offer flexible plans, English-speaking support and high transparency.
Are there really Serbia eSIMs without a data limit?
Usually the speed is throttled after a daily allowance (around 1.5 GB). Unlimited usually means “without additional costs”, but not always full speed – in practice, though, it's sufficient for 99% of users.
How quickly am I actually online after purchase?
Activation is completed within minutes. After purchase, scan the QR code – and as soon as you have a network in Serbia, you're good to go.
Prepaid or postpaid – which is better?
Prepaid is safer: you pay in advance, have a fixed duration and no nasty surprises or automatic renewals. Perfect for holidays, business and longer trips.
