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.

Frequently asked questions
Does the eSIM really work in Romania?
Yes. International eSIMs connect to Orange RO, Vodafone RO or Digi on landing in Bucharest, Cluj or Iași. 4G+ coverage everywhere.
Does my EU plan work in Romania?
Yes — Romania is in the EU roaming zone : your EU plan works at home rates for up to 4 consecutive months. A travel eSIM helps beyond that, or if your home roaming data cap is too low.
How much data for 7 days Bucharest-Brașov-Sibiu?
Plan for 3–5 GB : Maps, Bolt/Uber, cloud photos, messages. More if you stream or rely heavily on hotspot.
Is there signal in the Carpathians?
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.
Can I share the connection with other devices?
Most Romania eSIM plans allow hotspot : the field is listed on each Datadopt offer detail page.
