The route runs Skopje, Ohrid, and a couple of lakes
North Macedonia is 25,700 km², landlocked, surrounded by Bulgaria, Greece, Albania, Kosovo, and Serbia. Most travelers spend a week on Skopje (where flights into SKP land), the lake at Ohrid for a few nights, maybe Mavrovo or Galičica national parks for a hike, and an overland exit to one of the neighbours. The trip is small enough to do in a long weekend if you want, the network is dense enough on the route to make that work.
Roamzy charges $3.07 per gigabyte in North Macedonia. That's $0.0030 per megabyte, billed in real time on local networks. No subscription, no expiry, no minimum bundle. One per-MB rate across 193 countries is the whole billing arrangement, not a marketing line.
How much will Roamzy actually cost on this trip?
A typical visitor uses 0.7–1.2 GB per day: maps in Skopje, the bus app for the inter-city run to Ohrid, ride-hail in the capital, the boat schedule on Lake Ohrid, video calls home, the camera-translator on Cyrillic signage. Call it 1 GB/day:
| Trip length | Roamzy ($3.07/GB) | Tourist roaming pass | Local SIM at SKP |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 days | $7.99 | $15–40 | $5–15 + passport |
| 1 week | $18.64 | $30–80 | $8–20 + 30-day cap |
| 2 weeks | $37.27 | $70–140 (often two passes) | $12–25 + 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 SIM at Skopje airport is cheap on paper but ties you to a passport, a counter visit after a connecting flight, and a 30-day window that doesn't pause when you cross into Greece for a weekend.
Where does Roamzy work in this country?
Networks cluster on the Vardar valley and the lake regions; the mountain north and west are thinner:
- Skopje, Tetovo, Bitola, Kumanovo — 4G/LTE at 95%+, 5G in central Skopje
- The A1 motorway between the Serbian border and the Greek border (via Skopje) — continuous LTE on the asphalt
- Lake Ohrid (Ohrid town, Struga) — solid LTE in the populated coast, weaker on the boat trips and the southern monasteries
- Mavrovo and Galičica national parks — fine in the villages, intermittent on the high trails
- The Sar Mountains on the Kosovo border — patchy 3G/4G, offline maps for the hikes
- The Greek border crossings (Bogorodica, Medžitlija) — eSIM hands over at the post

What are Roamzy's honest limitations?
Three traps Roamzy doesn't have because they were never built in. No welcome promo on the first top-up that flips on the second. No fine-print throttling. No auto-renewal you forgot to cancel after the trip.
We didn't design this tariff to sound cheap; we designed it so there'd be nothing left to explain. Per-megabyte in North Macedonia, no expiry, no asterisk, and nobody can undercut an asterisk that isn't there.
What if my trip continues to other countries?
North Macedonia sits at the heart of a Balkans loop:
- Greece — Thessaloniki is three hours from Skopje, the eSIM hands over at the border
- Bulgaria — Sofia via the Deve Bair crossing
- Albania — Tirana via Sveti Naum on Lake Ohrid
