Lithuania: 4 Best Prepaid SIM Cards Buying Guide (2023)

Lithuania – known for its forests, landscapes & food.

As one of the three Baltic states, it is not one of the more popular travel destinations in Europe.

But Lithuania still has a lot to offer.

Like its many castles, including the Trakai Island Castle.

Or one of the many churches and cathedrals, like Vilnius Cathedral.

And the Aukštaitija National Park is a must-see too.

So many things to see and do in Lithuania, which you probably want to share online with your friends and family.

But be aware – international roaming can be expensive.

Which is why I always recommend local SIM cards, like a Lithuanian one, so that you can enjoy local rates.

So, how much do SIM cards cost in Lithuania?

You can get a Lithuanian SIM card for between 0.99 EUR (1.05 USD) to 3 EUR (3.20 USD) from Pildyk (Tele2), 1 EUR to 3.49 EUR (3.70 USD) from Ežys (Telia), 1.50 EUR (1.60 USD) from Telia Extra & 3.49 EUR to 5.50 EUR (5.85 USD) from Labas (Bitė) in their stores and resellers, like convenience stores and grocery stores. SIM cards are also sold at Vilnius Airport (VNO – from Narvesen).

Special note for those from Ukraine: be sure to ask about special benefits for Ukrainians. Many mobile operators around Europe have waived fees for you or introduced exclusive plans, including free calls back to Ukraine. Слава Україні! 🇺🇦

Those are low prices, right?

Just wait until you see how low mobile data prices are in Lithuania (compared to other countries in the European Union).

In this guide, I will go over everything you need to know about buying a SIM card in Lithuania. Let's get started.

Can You Buy a SIM Card in Lithuania?

Anyone living in or visiting Lithuania can buy a Lithuanian SIM card from Tele2 (Pildyk), Telia (Extra & Ežys) & Bitė (Labas) with no restrictions.

Your phone has to support the frequencies used in Lithuania.

Furthermore, your phone needs to be unlocked (SIM-lock free) to use a Lithuanian SIM card.

Where Can You Buy a SIM Card in Lithuania?

You can get a Lithuanian SIM card in Tele2 (for Pildyk), Telia (for Extra & Ežys) & Bitė (for Labas) stores. Resellers, like post offices, newsstands & grocery stores, also sell SIM cards. They are also sold at Vilnius Airport (VNO – from Narvesen).

You can expect to pay the following for Lithuanian SIM cards:

• Pildyk by Tele2 Lithuania: 0.99 EUR, 2.29 EUR & 3 EUR
• Extra by Telia Lithuania: 1.50 EUR
• Ežys by Telia Lithuania: 1 EUR, 2.49 EUR & 3.49 EUR
• Labas by Bitė Lithuania: 3.49 EUR (two variants) & 5.50 EUR

For up-to-date EUR:your currency (let's say GBP) exchange rates, use the Wise Currency Converter tool.

Can You Use Your Phone in Lithuania?

Lithuania uses GSM technology for mobile communications. CDMA phones will not work in Lithuania. If your phone has a SIM card slot, then it supports GSMA (99% of the phones do support GSM nowadays).

Traditional European frequencies are used in Lithuania, which are mostly used in ITU Regions 1 and 3 (Africa, Asia (including the Middle East), Europe & Oceania).

The Americas (North-, Central– & South America + the Caribbean – ITU Region 2) use American frequencies, which differ from the European ones.

If you bought your phone in Africa, Asia, Europe, or Oceania (ITU Regions 1 and 3), you should not experience any issues with using your phone in Lithuania.

If you purchased your phone in the Americas (ITU Region 2) and have a low/medium-end device (without Tri-Band or Quad-Band) support, then there is a possibility you cannot use your phone when in Lithuania or can only use slower networks (3G or 2G).

If you have a medium/high-end device with Tri-Band or Quad-Band support, you can use your phone in Lithuania (to some extent) – also on 4G/LTE (and soon 5G NR).

Mobile Operators, Networks & Frequencies in Lithuania

Lithuania has three mobile operators with dedicated prepaid sub-brands (four) offering prepaid services easily accessible to travelers:

• Tele2 Lithuania/Lietuva (with Pildyk)
• Telia Lithuania/Lietuva (with Extra & Ežys)
• Bitė Lithuania/Lietuva (with Labas)

The following frequencies are used in Lithuania:

• 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
• 3G: 900 MHz & 2100 MHz (Telia is shutting down its 3G network, which will be finalized in 2023)
• 4G/LTE: 800 MHz (Band 20), 1800 MHz (Band 3), 2100 MHz (Band 1), 2300 MHz (Band 40) & 2600 MHz (Band 7)
• 5G NR: 2100 MHz (n1), 2300 MHz (n40) & 3500 MHz (n78)

You can learn more about frequencies in the video below.

To check whether your phone will work in Lithuania, check out this page by Kimovil or this one by Will My Phone Work (outdated, unfortunately, but extremely user-friendly – useful for phones launched in or before 2019. It does not check for 5G NR compatibility).

Again, make sure your phone is unlocked. Otherwise, you will not be able to use any SIM card except the one from your home operator (meaning you have to roam internationally or buy another unlocked phone that does support the frequencies listed above).

If you want to learn how international roaming works, this guide explains it in-depth. If you wonder why it is often so expensive to roam, this article explains the hidden reason they do not want you to know.

VoLTE & VoWiFi in Lithuania

VoLTE (Voice over LTE (4G) – also known as HD Voice) is available in Lithuania, and it is offered by all mobile operators. However, VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi – also known as WiFi calling) is not available.

This means that your phone does not have to downgrade to 2G or 3G when making a call in Lithuania (unlike mobile operators that do not support VoLTE).

The following mobile operators offer VoLTE only in Lithuania:

• Tele2 Lithuania (Pildyk)
• Telia Lithuania (Extra & Ežys)
• Bitė Lithuania (Labas)

VoWiFi is, as the name implies, calling on a WiFi connection as opposed to on a cellular network.

5G NR in Lithuania

Commercial 5G NR has been available in Lithuania since January 2022. It is available on the Tele2 and will be soon on the Telia and Bite networks as well. Telia does not allow prepaid customers (Pildyk) to use its 5G NR network. It is unknown if Telia (Extra & Ežys) and Bitė (Labas) will allow their prepaid customers to use 5G NR upon launch (but probably not).

Best eSIM in Lithuania

While Tele2, Telia & Bitė offer eSIMs, they are (currently) not available to prepaid customers (Pildyk, Extra, Ežys & Labas).

However, you can get travel eSIMs from Airalo, Holafly & Nomad.

Airalo has the Lila Mobile eSIMs:

You have these six options:

1. Lithuania/Lila Mobile 1 GB eSIM for 7 days – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
2. Lithuania/Lila Mobile 2 GB eSIM for 15 days (new)
3. Lithuania/Lila Mobile 3 GB eSIM for 30 days
4. Lithuania/Lila Mobile 5 GB eSIM for 30 days – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
5. Lithuania/Lila Mobile 10 GB eSIM for 30 days – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers
6. Lithuania/Lila Mobile 20 GB eSIM for 30 days (new)

Note: Phone Travel Wiz reader popularity ranking was updated in March based on data up to the 13^th of March (2023 data only)

The Airalo links above will automatically get you the available Phone Travel Wiz exclusive offers – a code is unnecessary.

For an in-depth analysis of the Airalo Lila Mobile eSIMs (covering pros and cons as well), check out my Lithuania eSIMs Compared guide.

Or you can get Lithuania eSIMs from Nomad.

By the way, the 5 GB Nomad Lithuania eSIM for 30 days is the most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers.

Use code ADU123 for the best deals available when getting Nomad eSIMs (on the site or their apps) and get 3 USD/2.85 EUR/2.45 GBP/4.10 CAD off (even on top of current promotions)!

For an in-depth analysis of the Nomad Lithuania eSIMs (covering pros and cons as well), check out my Lithuania eSIMs Compared guide.

• Check out my Nomad reviews

Finally, you can get Lithuania eSIMs from Holafly if you prefer unlimited data plans and do not mind paying a bit more for this advantage:

• Lithuania unlimited data eSIM for 5 days
• Lithuania unlimited data eSIM for 10 days
• Lithuania unlimited data eSIM for 15 days

• Lithuania unlimited data eSIM for 30 days

For an in-depth analysis of the Holafly Lithuania eSIMs (covering pros and cons as well), check out my Lithuania eSIMs Compared guide.

With these eSIMs, you can skip the queues and avoid physical SIM cards in Lithuania and use them immediately upon arriving in Lithuania!

TIP: check out my Best Lithuania eSIMs Compared guide for an in-depth comparison of several eSIMs for Lithuania.

If you plan on visiting other neighboring European nations, consider the Eurolink eSIM (six variants: 1 GB/7 days, 3 GB/30 days – very popular with PTW readers, 5 GB/30 days – most popular with PTW readers, 10 GB/30 days – very popular with PTW readers, 50 GB/90 days & 100 GB/180 days) in Lithuania and these other countries:

• Check out my Airalo Eurolink eSIM review (tested in Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Hungary, Greece, Italy, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia & Spain)

Holafly and Nomad also have eSIMs covering all of the European Union (and more).

But honestly, the Eurolink eSIM is superior (but you can consider the Holafly Europe eSIM if you want unlimited data in 30+ countries – just do not forget about code PHONETRAVELWIZ if you go with Holafly).

TIP: Check out my eSIM lookup tool for an overview of local mobile operators offering eSIMs to prepaid customers and travel eSIMs I use and love (for eSIMs in Lithuania and eSIMs worldwide) and my Best Lithuania eSIMs Compared guide for an in-depth comparison of several eSIMs for Lithuania.

Best International/Travel SIM Card for Lithuania

If you want to buy the best international/travel SIM card for Lithuania, I recommend going with Simify's Europe SIM cards that covers Europe (mainly the European Union) and parts Asia, Central America, Oceania & South America – all in one SIM card.

You have these four options:

1. Europe & UK Travel SIM Card with 10 GB for 30 days
2. Europe & UK Prepaid Travel SIM Card with 12 GB for 30 days (includes calls and SMS within the country you are in)
3. Explorer Prepaid Travel SIM Card with 12 GB for 365 days
4. Europe & UK Prepaid Travel SIM Card with 19 GB for 28 days (includes calls within the country you are in)

SIM Card Registration in Lithuania

SIM card registration using your passport information is not needed when buying a SIM card in Lithuania.

EU Roaming in Lithuania

Lithuania is part of the European Union (EU).

Since June 2017, those with EU/EEA (European Economic Area) SIM cards can roam for free in other EU/EEA nations, including Lithuania

This means that, in the majority of cases, you do not need to purchase a Lithuanian SIM card if you already have an EU/EEA SIM card because you can roam without additional costs.

However, conditions do apply. Mobile operators in some countries may impose a roaming Fair Use Policy (FUP).

In countries where local mobile data rates are extremely low (such as in the Baltics and the Nordics), mobile operators may still charge you for roaming in the EU/EEA.

Be sure to head over to the international roaming page to learn whether your mobile operator offers free roaming while in Lithuania or if restrictions apply.

Roaming in the EU with Lithuanian SIM Cards

Lithuania and the Lithuanian mobile operators have not adopted the roam like at home regulations.

The regulator, Lietuvos Respublikos ryšių reguliavimo tarnyba (RRT), exempted the mobile operators from the law due to Lithuania having low mobile data rates.

Currently, you can buy EU/EEA roaming plans from all the Lithuanian mobile operators.

However, they are not affordable at all – you will almost always be better off getting a local SIM card in another EU/EEA country (as long as it is not another Baltic state) for free EU/EEA roaming.

Currency in Lithuania

Lithuania uses the Euro with the symbol EUR (which will be used throughout this guide).

However, prices are often listed as just €. For example, 25 EUR = €25.

For reference, below are some exchange rates between EUR and USD (US Dollars):

• 1 EUR = 1.05 USD
• 10 EUR = 10.65 USD
• 100 EUR = 106.30 USD

For up-to-date EUR:your currency (let's say GBP – (British) Pound (Sterling)) exchange rates, use the Wise Currency Converter tool.

You may have to call 1544 to activate your Telia Extra SIM card.

Call 1544, select option 9, and select option 4 to hear your Ežys phone number.

While Telia does have eSIMs, they are (currently) not offered to prepaid customers (Extra and Ežys).

Therefore, if you wish to get an eSIM for Lithuania without personal detail capturing, you can get eSIMs from Nomad (four options):

• 1 GB/7 days
• 3 GB/30 days
• 5 GB/30 days
• 10 GB/30 days

The best part is that you can get 3 USD/2.85 EUR/2.45 GBP/4.10 CAD off using code ADU123 on your first Nomad eSIM purchase!

No idea what or who Nomad is? Check out my Nomad review, where I share my hands-on experience after using its eSIMs in more than 25 countries over two years.

If you plan on visiting other neighboring European nations, consider the Nomad Europe eSIM to be used in 25 or 35 European countries, depending on the plan, with eight variants:

• 1 GB/7 days (25 countries – new)
• 1 GB/7 days (35 countries)
• 3 GB/30 days (25 countries – new)
• 3 GB/30 days (35 countries)
• 5 GB/30 days (25 countries – new)
• 5 GB/30 days (35 countries) – very popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers (that was before the 25 countries options were added)
• 10 GB/30 days (25 countries – new)
• 10 GB/30 days (35 countries) – most popular with Phone Travel Wiz readers (that was before the 25 countries options were added)

• Be sure to check out my Nomad Europe eSIM review for my insights!

Many more travel eSIMs will perform well in Lithuania.

Note that Ežys offers VoLTE (Voice over LTE (4G)) if your phone supports it and you have enabled it in the settings but no VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi).
