Internet in Romania: everything you need to know
Romania has 90% internet penetration and over 99% 4G+ mobile coverage (source: ITU DataHub, 2024). 5G is live in Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Timișoara, Iași and Constanța. Romania is in the EU : your European plan roams there at no extra cost (EU roaming zone).
- ●4G+ coverage in all major cities (Bucharest, Cluj, Brașov, Sibiu, Timișoara, Iași) and along the A1/A2/A3 motorways ; decent in the Carpathians (Transfăgărășan, Transalpina) except at high altitude.
- ●Average mobile speed ~80–100 Mbps download per Ookla (Q1 2025) : Romania is one of the best-served countries in Europe.
- ●No Western services blocked : Google, WhatsApp, Instagram, X, YouTube and Netflix work normally.
- ●Great for Bolt and Uber (Bucharest, Cluj, Brașov), Glovo, Google Maps and BRD / Banca Transilvania / ING Romania mobile banking.

Datadopt Observatory
Price per GB in Romania: what our data shows
According to the Datadopt Observatory, the lowest price per GB recorded in Romania comes down to 0.07 €/GB, across a sample of 2,891 fixed-volume offers retained for the measurement. That floor is reached on large data bundles : a 5 GB plan over 30 days costs noticeably more per GB. The real differentiator is still the depth of the offer : the more plans compete, the easier it is to find the duration and data volume that fit your trip.

Frequently asked questions
Does the eSIM really work in Romania?

Does my EU plan work in Romania?

Bucegi, Făgăraș, Apuseni : signal at the main refuges and villages, weaker at altitude. The Transfăgărășan road has signal nearly end-to-end. Download offline Maps for trekking.
