Key takeaways
Out of 13 traveler reports from Latvia, only 4 are for Jetpac (4 of 4 travelers got it working), too few to call it a pick. Free WhatsApp when data runs out, but a rough app. Maya Mobile is our pick from nearby countries. It rests on 14 reports from nearby countries (Finland and Sweden), not on local reports. eSIM4Travel is worth a look too: often the cheapest across all destinations, with the best support we tested.
- Too few reports Jetpac 100% worked well in Latvia 4 of 4 reviewers 6.9 our score
- Pick based on nearby countries Maya Mobile No traveler reports yet 8.4 our score
- Often cheapest overall, best support eSIM4Travel No traveler reports yet 8.8 our score

Picking the best eSIM for Latvia depends on two things: which network reaches where you are going, and whether you need a travel eSIM at all. We found 13 traveler reports that mention Latvia, published between March 2024 and July 2026, and only three providers have 3 or more of them. That is a thin record, so each section says how thin it is.
Latvia has three mobile networks: LMT, Tele2 and Bite. All three describe their coverage maps as theoretical outdoor calculations that ignore terrain [5] [6] [7]. The reports fit that caution. Two travelers got online in Riga, while a ByteSIM traveler lost signal in Ādaži, outside the capital, and two Nomad travelers reported no data in parts of the country.
Two more facts change the decision. A local LMT prepaid eSIM costs far less than a travel eSIM for anything above about 1 GB, as the local SIM section shows. And as of 25 September 2026 prepaid SIMs could still be bought without ID, although the government had backed a registration rule from 1 October 2026 that parliament had not adopted by then [1].

How well each provider's eSIM works in Latvia
The Vefru score is our overall rating of the provider. The percentage shows how many reviewers said their eSIM worked well in Latvia. Since unhappy customers review more often, it is best used to compare providers with each other.

How we got these numbers: we read 13 public customer reviews that mention Latvia or a place in it, published between March 2024 and July 2026, and counted a report as "worked" when the reviewer said the eSIM connected, even with small hiccups. We treat 20 or more reports as strong evidence, 3 to 19 as limited, and fewer than 3 as too few to judge. A count like 2 of 3 means the eSIM worked for 2 of the 3 travelers who reported from here; each provider section says what went wrong for the rest. The Vefru test score is a separate number: our own hands-on test of the provider, run outside Latvia, so it says how the provider behaves, not how the network performs here. Local operator prices in the text were checked on 25 September 2026; provider ratings, the plan tables and the price-per-GB chart are live and update on their own.
| Provider | Vefru test score | Worked in Latvia (reports) | Best for | Network in Latvia | Speed cap |

We ranked providers by traveler reports from Latvia first, price second and our hands-on tests third. Only three providers have 3 or more reports, so the Best group is those three plus eSIM4Travel, which we include on price and test results even though nobody has reported from Latvia yet.

Jetpac is a Singapore eSIM provider with plans in 129 countries. It adds extras like in-app calls, free WhatsApp and Google Maps after your data runs out, and lounge access on delayed flights. Its website, app and support are rough, so it suits travelers who can fix small issues themselves.

Jetpac eSIM in our hands
Jetpac has the best record for Latvia in the traveler reports, and its plan range is wide. It worked well for 4 of 4 travelers who reported from Latvia (100%), a limited sample. Two of the four needed a quick fix first: one solved an install problem for a Latvia eSIM and a London eSIM through email and WhatsApp (June 2026), and another had an eSIM that was not working in Latvia and got a reset by email over Wi-Fi (July 2025).
No traveler lost service in Latvia, and the hiccups were about setup, not signal. One reviewer's Europe pack did not include Latvia, so the reviewer bought a 5 GB pack on the road (June 2025). Another gave 3 stars for a worldwide eSIM: coverage and speed were good in Latvia, Estonia, Germany, Italy and Portugal but poor in Finland, and support then went silent for more than five days (November 2024). Jetpac's Europe packs now list Latvia in our comparison tool, so the June 2025 gap looks closed.
Jetpac sells Latvia-only plans from 1 GB to 40 GB and unlimited plans for 1 to 30 days, plus Europe and global packs that cover Latvia. Its Latvia page does not name a network (checked September 2026), and the unlimited plans slow down after 3 GB in 24 hours [12]. In our test it installed without trouble, and Jetpac says packs of 3 GB or more keep WhatsApp, Maps, Uber and Grab free after the data runs out. The app and checkout were rough, and its 20 GB pack for Latvia costs more than its 30 GB pack [12]. Across all countries it is priced above the market average, but its Latvia plans from 2 GB to 10 GB sat just below the median of the other providers in our comparison tool. Our Jetpac review has the test details, and current Latvia plans are on Jetpac's site.

Ubigi is the travel eSIM brand of Paris operator Transatel, with one reusable eSIM for 200+ destinations. Data was fast in our test, and its 3 GB, 10 GB and 30-day unlimited plans are cheap. Its weak point is support: a chatbot that ends in an email ticket, with no live agent.

Pros and cons
Ubigi eSIM in our hands
Ubigi suits travelers who want a lot of data and can fix problems without a help desk. It worked for 2 of 3 travelers who reported from Latvia (67%), a limited sample. Both successes were multi-country trips: one traveler wrote "No problems, great connections in Paris, Brussels and Riga" (June 2026), and another had a flawless connection across Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Russia (July 2026).
The one miss was a traveler with no connection for a week in Latvia (July 2026); the review does not say where. That matters because Ubigi's help desk was the hardest to reach in our test: a good bot checklist, then an email-only ticket that stayed unanswered for more than 24 hours. A failure is therefore likely to be a fix you make yourself.
Ubigi sells Latvia-only plans of 10 GB (7 or 30 days) and 50 GB, unlimited plans for 7, 15 or 30 days, and Europe, Europe Extended and Scandinavia and Baltic plans that cover Latvia. According to Ubigi's own plan pages, which we read only as a search extract, it uses LMT and Tele2, and its unlimited plans slow down after a set amount of data. In our test the network was strong and unthrottled, and we could buy more data with a zero balance, which helps when you have no Wi-Fi. The site and app were weak. It is priced below the market average: its 10 GB plan for Latvia was the second cheapest in our comparison tool, after eSIM4Travel, and its 30-day unlimited has the lowest median price in our price analysis. See our Ubigi review for the test, or check plans on Ubigi's site.

Nomad is a US travel eSIM brand run by LotusFlare, with plans for more than 200 destinations. It has a polished native app, fast data and prices close to the market average almost everywhere. Its weak spot is support: the chat is an AI bot with no route to a human.

Nomad eSIM in our hands
Nomad sells Latvia-only plans, but its record here is the weakest of the Best group: it worked for 1 of 3 travelers who reported from Latvia (33%), a limited sample. The success was rural: a traveler reported excellent coverage in Latvia's rural areas (July 2026).
Both misses were about missing data. One traveler wrote that the internet did not work in Latvia (July 2026). Another reported no data connection in several places in Latvia and called it not good enough for a Baltic trip (June 2026). Neither says where, so we cannot tell whether the cause was the network or the plan. All three reports date from June and July 2026.
Nomad sells Latvia-only plans from 1 GB to 50 GB and unlimited plans for 3 to 10 days, which slow sharply after 2 GB a day [13]. Nomad's page lists LMT and Tele2 [13], while our comparison tool lists Bite for most of its Latvia plans and LMT for one, and we cannot say which network each reviewer used. In our test the app was good, with a home-screen widget that shows remaining data, but the help desk was the hardest to reach: an AI bot looped on an APN question and gave no route to a person. One reviewer also wrote that the instructions are written for a US audience. In our comparison tool, its 2 GB to 5 GB plans for Latvia sat above the median of the other providers. See our Nomad review or Nomad's site.

eSIM4Travel eSIM in our hands
eSIM4Travel is the cheapest option in our comparison for Latvia and had the best help desk of the 14 providers in our test, but there are no traveler reports from Latvia yet. We cannot say how it performs here: no reports means few people have written about it, not that it fails. In our comparison tool, its 2 GB to 10 GB plans for Latvia sat well below the median of the other providers.
With no reports there are no misses to describe, so the drawbacks come from our test. It has no app, so when the data runs out you cannot reach the store without Wi-Fi. It does not take Google Pay (we typed the card by hand), and each eSIM works on one device only. On the plus side, a short bot chat led to a person in one click, who solved our problem, and the eSIM installed from a QR code and worked right away.
eSIM4Travel sells Latvia-only plans from 0.5 GB to 50 GB and unlimited plans for 3 to 30 days, which slow down after 3 GB a day in our test, plus Best Europe and Global plans that cover Latvia. Its plans are listed as Tele2, Bite and Mobilais in our comparison tool; the research could not verify the network on eSIM4Travel's own page. A plan starts on the first connection, you have 90 days to activate, and unused plans are refunded within two months if less than 10% of the data was used. Our eSIM4Travel review has the details, and plans are on eSIM4Travel's site.

Other eSIM Providers for Latvia
These ten providers are all tested by us, but each has fewer than 3 traveler reports from Latvia or none, so none can be recommended on Latvia evidence alone. A provider with no reports is not necessarily a weaker eSIM; it means few travelers have written about using it here.

Pros and cons
GigSky eSIM in our hands
GigSky has one good report from Latvia and is the dearest provider overall, so it is not a top pick. It worked well for 1 of 1 travelers who reported from Latvia (100%), which is too few to judge: the traveler used it in Denmark, Latvia and Moldova in July 2026 and wrote that it worked wonderfully. There were no misses to report.
GigSky sells Latvia-only plans from 1 GB to 50 GB (the largest run up to 180 days) and a 1-day unlimited pass, plus cruise, ferry and Europe plans that list Latvia. We could not confirm its network in Latvia, because its page did not render when the research checked. In our test its help desk answered immediately, and the app stays partly online after the data runs out, so you can buy a new plan without Wi-Fi. You must install the app to buy, and Google Pay is not accepted. Its cruise coverage often worked only in port. Prices vary a lot by country and Latvia is not in our price grid, so check the live plan table. See our GigSky review or GigSky's Latvia page.

ByteSIM eSIM in our hands
ByteSIM has one report from Latvia and it was a miss, so it is not a top pick: it worked for 0 of 1 travelers who reported from Latvia (0%), which is too few to judge. The reviewer wrote in March 2024, "Bite signal works in Riga but not here in Adazu," and could use only 85 MB. The reviewer named Bite as the network, and we could not confirm which networks ByteSIM uses in Latvia. The reviewer did praise how quickly the help desk answered.
ByteSIM sells many Latvia plans: daily plans, fixed plans from 0.5 GB and unlimited plans for 1 to 30 days, which are throttled with the limit not stated. It has no top-ups. In our test the checkout asked for a phone number and a full postal address, the app was a wrapped website, and WhatsApp support did not answer within 15 minutes, although this reviewer got a fast reply. Unused or never-connected eSIMs are refundable for 180 days. It is priced around the market average and looks cheaper for short trips, and its 2 GB to 5 GB plans for Latvia sat below the median in our comparison tool. See our ByteSIM review or ByteSIM's site.

Saily eSIM in our hands
Saily has one report from Latvia and it was a miss, so it is not a top pick here despite the best app and one of the two best help desks in our test. It worked for 0 of 1 travelers who reported from Latvia (0%), which is too few to judge. The reviewer toured the Baltic states in June 2026 and wrote of "nothing but problems with it, especially in the Baltic states." The complaints were data running out after about a week of a plan meant for the whole trip, a top-up that did not help, and a dispute about payment and a deleted account.
That experience is the opposite of our test, where the help desk was among the fastest we tried, so one report is a warning rather than a verdict. Saily sells Latvia plans of 1 GB (7 days) and 3 to 20 GB (30 days), a 15-day unlimited plan that slows after 5 GB a day, and Europe and global plans. Its Latvia page does not name a network (checked September 2026), allows unrestricted hotspot use and gives a 180-day window to activate [10]. The eSIM is installed in the app only, and PayPal is not accepted. Saily is among the most expensive in many popular destinations, and its Latvia plans sat above the median at every size in our comparison tool. See our Saily review or Saily's Latvia page.

Global YO eSIM in our hands
Global YO is cheap and well tested, but no traveler has reported from Latvia yet, which keeps it out of the top group. In our test it was the second cheapest provider overall, with a price that falls as the plan gets bigger, and in our comparison tool its Latvia plans sat slightly below the median at 2 GB to 10 GB. We could not confirm which networks it uses in Latvia.
Global YO sells Latvia-only plans from 1 GB to 100 GB, with validities from 3 to 60 days, plus day plans and Europe and global plans that cover Latvia. It has no unlimited plan. Its plan terms allow tethering and top-ups. In our test you can buy only in the app and the QR code is then emailed, the app stops working at zero data, and support was slow: the first reply took 10 minutes and was a template. A deleted eSIM cannot be reinstalled, and data needed the APN "globaldata" in our test. It also has outgoing VoIP calls. See our Global YO review or Global YO's site.

Maya Mobile eSIM in our hands
Maya Mobile sells only global unlimited plans, which suit a long Baltic trip across several countries, but nothing for a short stay in Latvia, and no traveler has reported from Latvia yet. Across all countries it ranked second most reliable of the 14 providers in traveler reports, which says nothing about Latvia itself. We could not confirm which networks it uses here.
Maya has eight global plans for 3, 7, 14 or 30 days, four of them with cruise coverage, and all of them list Latvia. Data is at full speed up to 5 GB a day and slower after that, and hotspot and top-ups are allowed. In our test the purchase and one-click install were easy, we had to set the APN "globaldata" and roaming ourselves, and WhatsApp support took a bot, then a form, then a person after about 9 minutes. In our price analysis it is the cheapest global unlimited by a wide margin. See our Maya Mobile review or Maya's site.

GoMoWorld sells Latvia plans of 4 GB (7 days) and 15, 50 and 75 GB (30 days), plus Europe plans from 2.5 GB to 35 GB that cover Latvia. It has no unlimited plan and no calls. In our test, run in Austria, it was the fastest provider with no throttling. You buy and install in the app only, one account works on one device, and you must press Start or the plan never begins. Human help is available in office hours only. See our GoMoWorld review or GoMoWorld's site.

Roamless suits light users who want one eSIM for several countries, and no traveler has reported from Latvia yet. Roamless's own page lists LMT, Tele2 and Bite, which we treat as reported, while our comparison tool lists LMT for its Latvia plans.
Roamless sells pay-as-you-go credit that never expires, in Latvia amounts from 0.7 GB to 200 GB, plus 30-day plans from 1 GB to 50 GB and a free Latvia trial. It has no unlimited plan, no throttling is stated, and hotspot is unlimited. In our test the preselected APN did not work and we had to pick another by hand, and speed tests failed until we switched network manually. Support fixed it in 29 minutes. Purchase is in the app only and Google Pay failed. It also has in-app calls and an optional second number. It is cheap for 1 GB and dear from 10 GB, and its 10 GB plan for Latvia sat above the median in our comparison tool. See our Roamless review or Roamless's Latvia page.

Airalo is an eSIM marketplace from Singapore with plans for 200+ destinations, some with calls and texts. It is easy to buy and install. But prices sit at the market median, and travelers report more failed connections than with any other provider we track.

Airalo eSIM in our hands
Airalo is the easiest of the big names to buy and install, but no traveler has reported from Latvia yet, and across all countries it had the weakest record of the 14 providers in traveler reports. Its Latvia page names Bite Latvija [8], while older listings of its Latvia plans named Tele2 and LMT, so the network may have changed and we could not confirm it.
Airalo sells Latvia-only plans from 1 GB to 50 GB and unlimited plans for 3 to 30 days, which slow after 3 GB a day [8]. Eurolink, EUconnect and Discover plans also cover Latvia, and Discover+ adds a US number for calls and texts. In our test you can buy in a browser without the app, and the data worked instantly. The help desk starts with a bot and reaches a person after a queue. Airalo is priced around the market average and was never the cheapest in our price analysis, and its Latvia plans sat above the median at every size in our comparison tool. See our Airalo review or Airalo's Latvia page.

Yesim is a Swiss eSIM provider built around unlimited plans sold by the day, with one eSIM for 200+ destinations. Data was fast in our test. But its support was among the slowest we have tested, and its fixed-data country plans cost more than most rivals.

Pros and cons
Yesim eSIM in our hands
Yesim sells flexible unlimited plans by the day but had one of the slowest help desks in our test, and no traveler has reported from Latvia yet. Its Latvia page does not name a network and says the eSIM selects one automatically (checked September 2026) [11].
Yesim sells Latvia plans from 0.5 GB to 30 GB and unlimited plans for 1, 7, 15 or 30 days, some of them throttled with the limit not stated, plus Europe and global bundles that cover Latvia. Its page says no ID is needed and gives 180 days to activate [11]. In our test the plan started at purchase, so it is better bought close to the trip, and each reply from the help desk took 15 to 60 minutes. The unlimited plans are priced at the market average, but its fixed country plans are dear, and its 2 GB to 5 GB plans for Latvia were the most expensive in our comparison tool. See our Yesim review or Yesim's Latvia page.

Holafly is an Irish eSIM provider built around unlimited data, with trip eSIMs for 200+ destinations. Travelers report it working more often than any other provider we track. Its weak points are speed and price: our test ran at about 30 Mbps on 5G, and its unlimited plans cost more than most.

Pros and cons
Holafly eSIM in our hands
Holafly's unlimited data was capped from the start in our test, and our comparison tool lists no Holafly plan for Latvia, so it is not a top pick here. In practice a cap like that is enough for maps, messaging, browsing and streaming, but slow for large downloads, uploads, cloud backups and laptop work. No traveler has reported from Latvia yet.
Holafly has the best record of the 14 providers in traveler reports across all countries, but those reports count whether the eSIM connected, and our test found the speed capped. Holafly's own Latvia page lists unlimited plans for 1 to 30 days and names Bite Latvija and LMT as of September 2026 [9]. The page tells you to turn on data roaming and caps hotspot use at 1 GB a day [9]. There are no top-ups, so a new eSIM is needed when a plan ends, and its unlimited plans are among the dearer ones for a 7-day trip. Because our comparison tool lists no Holafly plan for Latvia, there is no plan table here. See our Holafly review or Holafly's Latvia page.
Best eSIM Plans for Latvia
Price per GB in Latvia by eSIM Provider
How much does each provider charge per GB in Latvia? The chart below compares plans of 1 to 10 GB that last 6 to 14 days, the usual range for a one- or two-week trip. Provider websites show only their own plans, so this side-by-side view is one you would otherwise have to calculate yourself. A shorter bar means a lower price per GB.

Unlimited data in Latvia
Comparison of unlimited data plans in Latvia from the most popular eSIM providers.
Most unlimited plans for Latvia slow down after a daily or fixed amount of data, so the unlimited tier is not always the safe choice for heavy use. For a stay of a week or more, a local LMT plan with unlimited data in Latvia costs far less, as the local SIM section shows. If your trip also includes Germany, like the Baltic tour one Saily reviewer described, you can compare both countries in one search and read our Germany guide. For a price-only ranking across countries, see our cheapest eSIM comparison.
Best eSIM for Riga, Ādaži and Rural Latvia
No place in the reports has 3 or more of them, so no place gets its own pick, and our overall pick, Jetpac, has no city-level reports.
| Where you are going | What the reports show | Our pick |
|---|---|---|
| Riga | too few reports | Country pick applies |
| Ādaži | too few reports | Country pick applies |
In Riga, two travelers got online, one with ByteSIM and one with Ubigi, which is too few to rank providers there. Ādaži, outside the capital, produced the one place-specific miss: the ByteSIM traveler had a signal in Riga but almost none in Ādaži. Beyond the capital, the reports disagree. One Nomad traveler praised rural coverage, while another Nomad traveler and the ByteSIM traveler reported no data in parts of the country. An eSIM that lists more than one Latvian network may give you a fallback outside Riga: Ubigi's page lists LMT and Tele2 (reported), eSIM4Travel's plans are listed as Tele2, Bite and Mobilais in our comparison tool, and Roamless lists all three (reported). We could not confirm how any of them switches between networks in Latvia.
Local SIM Cards and Operator eSIMs in Latvia
A local LMT Karte eSIM is the cheapest way to get unlimited data in Latvia, and travel eSIMs beat it on price only at about 1 GB or less. LMT sells its prepaid Karte online as an eSIM: you choose an amount, confirm by email within 10 minutes, pay and receive a QR code [3] [4]. As of September 2026 the plans were:
- €1.50: the number stays active for 120 days, with 50 MB of data and calls at €0.19 a minute in Latvia and the EEA+ zone [3].
- €3.50 for 7 days: unlimited internet in Latvia plus 5.9 GB in the EEA+ zone, and 30 minutes of calls [3].
- €4.99 for 14 days: unlimited internet and unlimited calls in Latvia [3].
- €24.89 for 30 days: unlimited internet in Latvia plus 36.6 GB in the EEA+ zone, and unlimited calls in Latvia and the EEA+ zone [3].
- €69.99 for 90 days: unlimited internet and calls in Latvia [3].
In the research's list-price comparison, the 7-day LMT plan was roughly five times cheaper than the cheapest 7-day unlimited travel eSIMs, before any currency conversion. A travel eSIM is the better fit if you want one eSIM for several countries, because the LMT plans cap roaming data in the EEA+ zone.
No ID was needed for prepaid SIMs as of 25 September 2026. The Cabinet approved a bill on 3 March 2026 that would make operators register prepaid users from 1 October 2026 with a name, date of birth and personal code, and we found no report that parliament had adopted it by 25 September [1]. We could not check later, and we could not confirm how a foreigner without a Latvian personal code would register, so the LMT terms are worth checking before you buy. Tele2 sells prepaid under the Zelta Zivtiņa brand, but we could not confirm its current tourist prices. Bite's 2022 and 2023 prepaid summaries disagree on price, and we could not confirm its 2026 range, so we quote no Bite prices. We also could not confirm what airport shops charge for SIM cards.
Mobile Networks in Latvia
Latvia has three mobile networks, LMT, Tele2 and Bite, and no official data says which is best: the regulator SPRK paused its mobile quality measurements in 2021 [2]. Crowdsourced tests give a split picture. According to SpeedChecker data reported by Apollo in August 2025 and speedgeo statistics for April 2025 to March 2026, Tele2 had the fastest downloads, while SpeedChecker had Bite ahead on uploads. Opensignal's 2022 report found LMT strongest on coverage and consistency, but that data is old.
Tele2 says its 5G coverage is nearing 90% (October 2025, basis not stated), and its 5G runs on 700 and 800 MHz, so phones without those bands will not see it [5]. According to Latvian media, Tele2 switched off 3G in spring 2025 and LMT did so region by region in 2023 and 2024. All three operators call their maps theoretical outdoor calculations that ignore terrain [5] [6] [7].
Which provider uses which network, by how well we could confirm it:
- Named on the provider's own Latvia page (as of September 2026): Airalo uses Bite Latvija [8], Holafly uses Bite Latvija and LMT [9], and Nomad uses LMT and Tele2 [13]. Our comparison tool lists Bite for most Nomad plans, and older Airalo listings named Tele2 and LMT.
- Reported: Ubigi lists LMT and Tele2, and Roamless lists LMT, Tele2 and Bite. We read both pages only as search extracts. eSIM4Travel is listed as Tele2, Bite and Mobilais in our comparison tool.
- Not named on the page when we checked in September 2026: Saily [10], Yesim [11] and Jetpac [12].
- We could not confirm the network for GigSky, Global YO, GoMoWorld, ByteSIM or Maya Mobile.
In practice, an eSIM that lists LMT and Tele2 covers the two networks that the crowdsourced tests rate best, but we could not confirm how any eSIM chooses between networks in Latvia. Our guide to eSIMs with several networks explains how switching works, and our 4G vs 5G guide covers the speed question.
How to Set Up an eSIM for Latvia
Install the eSIM at home on Wi-Fi before you fly; it takes a few minutes and avoids setup problems in a country where you may have no data yet.
- Check that your phone has eSIM and is not locked to one carrier (see our list of phones with eSIM).
- Buy the plan and install the eSIM before the trip. In our tests most plans started on the first connection, so installing at home was safe. The exceptions were Yesim, whose plan started at purchase, GoMoWorld, which needs you to press Start, and some Airalo packages, which start at install. Saily and Yesim give 180 days to activate [10] [11], and eSIM4Travel gives 90.
- Add the eSIM in Settings with the guide for iPhone or Samsung. GoMoWorld, Saily, Roamless, GigSky and Global YO need their app to buy.
- After landing, switch mobile data to the eSIM and turn on data roaming for it. The pages of Holafly, Saily and Jetpac tell you to do this [9] [10] [12]. If data does not start, set the APN by hand: in our tests Global YO and Maya needed "globaldata", Ubigi "mobiledata" and GigSky "gigsky".
- Keep Wi-Fi nearby for top-ups, because most apps stop working at zero data. In our tests only GigSky and Ubigi let us buy more data with no balance. If nothing works, our troubleshooting guide lists the usual fixes.
Calls and SMS in Latvia
Latvia's calling code is +371, and most travel eSIMs are data-only, so calls usually run over WhatsApp or another app. No Latvia plan in our comparison tool includes minutes or texts, except Airalo's global Discover+ plans, which add a US number for calls and texts. In our tests Jetpac sells voice packs in its app, Roamless has in-app calls and an optional second number, and Global YO has outgoing calls over the internet. Holafly Plans, Saily Ultra and Yesim sell numbers that can receive SMS, which helps with bank codes. If you need a Latvian number with local minutes, the LMT Karte plans in the local SIM section include calls.
Free eSIM Data for Latvia
Two providers list free data for Latvia. Roamless lists a free Latvia eSIM trial whose 30-day window starts when you activate it, and Nomad lists a 1 GB, 3-day Latvia trial plan, which our review describes as free. Either gives you a way to test the setup before you pay. Our guide to free eSIM data plans covers trials from other providers.

Summary: the best eSIM for Latvia
Based on 13 traveler reports from Latvia and our tests, the best option for most trips is Jetpac: it worked well for 4 of 4 travelers, though the sample is small, and its weaknesses are a rough app and checkout and a price above the market average across all countries. Ubigi (2 of 3) suits heavy data use, but its help desk was the hardest to reach in our test. Nomad (1 of 3) has Latvia-only plans, but two travelers reported no data. eSIM4Travel has no Latvia reports yet, is the cheapest in our comparison and has no app.
For a stay of a week or more, a local LMT prepaid eSIM comes out roughly five times cheaper than the 7-day unlimited travel eSIMs we compared in September 2026, before currency conversion. So the best eSIM for Latvia in 2026 is a travel eSIM mainly for short stays, small data needs or trips across several countries. Outside Riga, the operators' maps are worth checking first, because the reports disagree about rural coverage.
