The best eSIM for Lithuania depends on how much data you need, but for a typical trip eSIM Ahora offers plans from $0.88, activated by QR code in about 30 seconds with no roaming from your home carrier. A 3 GB, 30-day plan costs $3.68. You connect, with top-ups available and nationwide coverage. It includes EU roaming if you continue your trip across Europe. Compatible with iPhone XS or newer, Samsung Galaxy S21+ and Google Pixel 3+.
Full-speed data every day; after the daily cap the speed is reduced.
Full speed up to 500 MB/day, then 512 Kbps.
Every eSIM can be installed within 180 days of purchase. Plan validity starts when you first connect.
Your eSIM picks between these networks on its own. If you see bars and nothing loads, you can pick one by hand.
Your Lithuania eSIM runs on Tele2 and Telia, and your phone picks whichever has the better signal. Other local networks won't carry your data: if you see signal bars and nothing loads, turn off automatic network selection (iPhone: Settings → Cellular → your eSIM → Network Selection; Android: Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → your eSIM) and pick Tele2 or Telia by hand.
Telia, Bitė and Tele2 dominate the Lithuanian market with 5G across Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda and Šiauliai. The Baltic coast (Palanga, Nida on the Curonian Spit) has steady 4G. Aukštaitija forests and Spit dunes can have weaker but usable signal. The Belarusian border and the Kaliningrad enclave are well-covered, but avoid accidental Belarusian roaming near Druskininkai. EU roam-like-at-home applies. Type C/F European plugs, 230V/50Hz.
