Which mobile networks you get in Moldova

Orange is the clear centre of Moldova’s published eSIM network lists: nearly all providers name it, while Unité, Moldcell and IDC appear less often. That makes Orange the operator most buyers will find named before choosing a plan; the remaining names are the ones to investigate when the listed network matters. The list also puts 5G at the top, but that is the fastest technology stated by some profiles, not a promise of what a handset will hold throughout a trip.

Where your data comes out in Moldova

Breakout is split here: two providers use a gateway in Moldova, while others route through Poland, the United Kingdom or the United States. That makes provider choice worth checking. The Polish hop should add little noticeable delay, with round trips to Moldovan services typically about 30ms; the longer US route, estimated at about 136ms, adds latency but does not cap download speed. More importantly, an overseas IP can switch streaming catalogues or cause a local banking app to reject the connection, whereas a Moldovan IP should behave normally.

Moldova eSIM prices, month by month

Data has been getting cheaper in Moldova: a gigabyte typically goes for $0.78 now, against $1.09 when we started tracking it in December 2025, a fall of 28% across 10 months.

That is 58% below the $1.85 a gigabyte typically costs across the 229 destinations we track — only 47 of them come in lower, which puts Moldova among the cheapest places in the world to buy mobile data as a visitor. Competition is most of the story. We now compare 2,557 plans for Moldova from 29 providers, against 1,502 in December 2025.

Every figure here is the lower quartile of the plans in our catalogue that month — the cheaper end of what was actually on sale, rather than an average pulled up by a handful of premium plans.

Frequently Asked Questions about eSIMs for Moldova

How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Moldova, and how many prepaid data plans are there?

Orange, Unité, Moldcell and IDC are the local operators named behind Moldova’s travel eSIM offers, in that order by the reach providers state. This is a well-served market among travel eSIM sellers, with particularly deep catalogues from ESIM.DOG, MicroESIM, AbestESIM, Roamix, iroamly and eSimCard. Their offers are not interchangeable, though: a familiar brand may have an unsuitable amount of data or duration for the trip. Check what is included, how long it remains usable and what happens when it runs out before choosing.

What are the mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Moldova?

Orange, Unité, Moldcell and IDC are the local operators named in published provider lists for Moldova. Several networks are therefore represented across the travel eSIM market, but the traveller does not usually select one after purchase: the eSIM provider’s own network list determines which operator is attached to a particular plan. The operator you use is consequently tied to the provider and package chosen, and can be identified from the provider’s published details rather than discovered only after arrival. This makes the local network part of the plan specification, not a handset setting.

Are there any free data eSIM plans available for Moldova?

A free-data eSIM is currently available for Moldova, but it is a small introductory allowance rather than data for a full trip. Access usually requires registering with the provider, and the offer is typically restricted to one per customer. It can be useful for getting online briefly after arrival or testing compatibility with your phone, but regular use will require a paid package. This is a genuine free-data offer, not merely an eSIM profile issued without charge.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Moldova?

Plans marked unlimited are common across Moldova’s travel-eSIM market, but the label is only a starting point. These offers still provide a finite amount of full-speed data; after it is used, the connection slows, making video difficult and maps sluggish while basic messaging usually continues. Before buying, check the fast-data allowance and when it is replenished, since two offers can behave quite differently despite the same headline.

eSIM Providers for Moldova

Orange and Unité lead the stated network options, with Moldcell and IDC also represented, making this a genuine operator choice rather than a single-network market. Several eSIMs state access to more than one network, which matters if reception is patchy in a particular town or along a journey: a second network on the same eSIM gives you another route to service. Before buying, check the listed networks against the places you plan to visit.
