Serbia Mobile Networks Explained
Serbia has three major mobile carriers: Telekom Srbija (operating the MTS brand), Telenor Serbia (rebranded as PPAS, part of PPF Group), and A1 Serbia (part of A1 Telekom Austria). All three operate 4G LTE across the country with 5G rollouts beginning in major cities. HelloRoam plans connect via the VIP network.
Belgrade, the capital, has strong 4G coverage throughout the city including the historic Kalemegdan Fortress area, Skadarlija (the bohemian quarter), New Belgrade, and Nikola Tesla Airport (BEG). Novi Sad, Serbia's second-largest city and Vojvodina's cultural capital, has solid 4G across the city and the famous Petrovaradin Fortress (host of EXIT festival). Nis in the south has 4G throughout the city.
Serbia is not an EU member state, which is significant for travellers coming from EU countries. EU roaming rules that apply in EU member states do not cover Serbia. travellers from France, Germany, and other EU countries should check whether their carrier charges extra for Serbia. A HelloRoam eSIM provides a clear flat-rate option regardless of where you are from.
The Serbian countryside, mountain resorts (Zlatibor, Kopaonik), and the Drina River canyon area have 4G coverage in main resorts and towns. More remote areas have 3G fallback. Australian travellers should confirm their handset is unlocked and supports the local network bands.

Serbia eSIM vs Local SIM vs Carrier Billing
For Aussie travellers, a HelloRoam eSIM is generally the most cost-effective way to get data abroad compared to local SIM cards or Australian carrier roaming add-ons.

|---|---|---|---|
| Typical cost | From A$5.66 total | A$7.10–A$21.29 total | — |
| Details | Buy before you leave. Activate with a QR code. Land in Belgrade and connect immediately. Serbia is outside the EU, so EU roaming rules do not apply. A HelloRoam eSIM provides flat-rate prepaid data without surprise carrier charges. | Local Serbian SIMs are available at Nikola Tesla Airport and in Belgrade city. Registration requires a passport. A HelloRoam eSIM activated before departure skips this step. | Serbia is outside the EU, meaning EU carriers may charge extra for roaming here.

Best Time to Visit Serbia

Cat
On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
