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 $2.66 per gigabyte in North Macedonia. That's $0.0026 per megabyte, billed in real time on local networks. No subscription, no expiry, no minimum bundle. One per-MB rate across 192 countries is the shape of the invoice, 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 ($2.66/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.
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 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
