Here's the rate: $4.20 per gigabyte
That's $0.0041 per megabyte, billed in real time on Belarusian networks. The whole pricing story fits in two sentences: no subscription, no expiry on the unused balance, no minimum bundle. One per-MB rate across 192 countries — the figure on the invoice, not a marketing line.
Belarus is a 207,000 km² country of about 9 million people, most of them concentrated around Minsk and the major regional centers — Brest, Grodno, Gomel, Vitebsk, Mogilev. The population density and the road grid mean cellular coverage is genuinely good in the populated belt and along the trunk roads; it thins out, predictably, in the forests and the agricultural districts where nobody lives.
How much does Roamzy cost on a typical visit?
A typical visitor uses 0.5–1 GB per day: maps and ride-hail in Minsk, the camera-translator on Cyrillic shop signs and a Belarusian–Russian menu, messaging with a host who lives in Telegram, a video call home, the train app for the regional electrichka schedule. Call it 1 GB/day for the math:
| Trip length | Roamzy ($4.20/GB) | Tourist roaming pass | Local SIM at Minsk-2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 days | $12.60 | $15–35 | $5–15 + KYC and a passport scan |
| 1 week | $29.39 | $30–70 | $8–20 + paperwork |
| 2 weeks | $58.78 | $60–140 (often two passes) | $12–25 + 30-day cap |
Competitor prices in columns 3 and 4 are 2025 ranges based on typical offerings; exact figures depend on your home carrier and the airport store you visit. Roamzy's rate in column 2 is our actual published rate from the pricing page.
A local SIM at Minsk National Airport requires a passport, a registration form, and twenty minutes at a counter. For a short visit it usually isn't worth the morning. The eSIM attaches before the plane lands and starts billing the first byte that crosses the network.
Where does Roamzy work in this country?
Belarus invested heavily in network rollout in the 2010s and the picture on the ground is more "decent European emerging market" than its borders might suggest:
- Minsk — 4G/5G across the city, working signal in metro stations and on the long underground runs between them, dense LTE on the road in from the airport
- Brest, Grodno, Gomel, Vitebsk, Mogilev — solid LTE in the city centers, weakening on the approach roads
- The M1 (Brest–Minsk–Russian border) and M5 (Minsk–Gomel) — continuous LTE across most of their length
- Belovezhskaya Pushcha and the rural protected areas — patchy; signal at the entry villages and visitor centers, weakening inside the forest
- Border zones — the last 10–20 km before any frontier sometimes has signal pulled toward neighboring networks; check before relying on it
The Minsk Metro has working signal on most platforms; long tunnel runs occasionally drop briefly between stations.
How do I install my Roamzy eSIM?
| Plug type | Voltage | Frequency | iOS | Android |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type C, F | 220 V | 50 Hz | iPhone XS+ | Pixel 3+, Galaxy S20+ |
- Sign in to Roamzy via Telegram or Google
- Top up the eSIM with a minimum of 20 USDT — stablecoins, no cards, no banks, no FX surcharges
- The QR code appears in the dashboard once payment confirms
- Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → scan QR (do this on home Wi-Fi before you fly)
- The counter starts the moment you land at Minsk National (MSQ)
Stablecoin payment is genuinely useful here — many international cards refuse to charge from inside Belarus or get flagged on first attempt. The dashboard top-up runs on USDT regardless. Setup edge cases are in the FAQ.
What are Roamzy's honest limitations?
- No welcome promo that bait-and-switches the second top-up. The rate on top-up #1 is the rate on top-up #20.
- No fine-print throttling. One rate, full speed — first GB and the hundredth both cost $0.0041/MB.
- No auto-renewal. Balance runs out, the eSIM stops. No background charge surfacing months later.
It's not a marketing gimmick — it's an engineering decision born from indifference to gimmicks. You can't make a tariff cheaper than no fine-print and no expiry — so we don't.
What if my route continues to other countries?
- Russia — overland through Smolensk, common rotation
- Ukraine — separate country rate, the eSIM hands over the moment you cross
