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 (3.70 – 5.80 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).
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.

Table of Contents
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: 1 EUR, 2.50 EUR & 2.50 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 SIM Card in Lithuania
If you want to buy the best SIM card in Lithuania, I recommend going with Tele2 (Pildyk) or Telia (Extra & Ežys). Tele2 has the fastest speeds by a long shot. Both Tele2 and Telia have the best (4G/LTE) coverage in the country.
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 also get a travel eSIM from various eSIM providers.
The list below is not exhaustive – many more providers have eSIMs for Lithuania.
But these are the ones I have tried and had pleasant experiences with.
Moreover, they are reasonably priced, which I find very important (you will not see me recommending an eSIM I would not buy myself).
So here are the 12 best eSIMs for Lithuania:
- Airalo Lila Mobile eSIM with six choices between 1 GB and 20 GB (best value for money)
- Alosim Lithuania eSIM with six choices between 1 GB and 20 GB (priced roughly the same as Airalo with a bit more options – use code PTW for 5% off)
- Holafly Lithuania eSIM with unlimited data for 5 to 90 days (unlimited data eSIMs) + ability to make and receive calls (new) – use code PHONETRAVELWIZ for 5% off)
- Nomad Lithuania eSIM with ten choices between 1 GB and 20 GB (best value for money… too – use code ADU123 for 3 USD off)
- Airalo Eurolink eSIM with six choices between 1 GB and 100 GB (best value for money for 39 European countries) – read my ongoing Airalo Eurolink eSIM review too!
- Alosim Europe eSIM with five choices between 1 GB and 10 GB (priced roughly the same as Airalo with worse coverage)
- Holafly Europe eSIM with 5G NR access in Lithuania with unlimited data for 5 to 60 days (unlimited data eSIMs for 33 European countries) + ability to make and receive calls (new)
- Nomad Europe eSIM with 11 choices between 1 GB and 20 GB (the best of both worlds in terms of pricing and performance for 35 European countries)
- SimOptions Europe eSIMs with seven choices between 8 GB and 24 GB (choice from multiple providers + calling & texting options (the only one in this list))
- Airalo Discover(+) eSIM (formerly Discover Global) with 12 choices between 1 GB and 20 GB (extensive global coverage (130+ countries) at attractive prices) + ability to make and receive calls & send and receive SMS (new) – read my ongoing Airalo Discover(+) (Global) eSIM review too!
- AIS eSIM2FLY Global eSIM through SimOptions with one 6 GB option (eSIM with the most 5G NR supported countries (53/143) at a reasonable price but with a short validity)
- Nomad Global eSIM with six choices between 1 GB and 5 GB (extensive global coverage (109 or 139 countries) at high(er) prices – use code ADU123 for 3 USD off)
Because this is the SIM card buying guide for Lithuania, I will not spend too much time about travel eSIMs here and throughout this guide (but I will still do here and there).
If you want to learn more about the best eSIMs for Lithuania, you better check out my Lithuania eSIM buying guide.
It is as helpful and comprehensive as this guide but about eSIMs instead 😜.

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.

Being redone.
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 = 10.60 USD
- 100 EUR = 105.85 USD
For up-to-date EUR:your currency (let's say GBP – (British) Pound (Sterling)) exchange rates, use the Wise Currency Converter tool.
If your credit/debit card charges you foreign exchange fees, get yourself a Wise Borderless Account and Debit Card.
Their fees are MUCH lower than banks and credit card companies charge you (and Wise is transparent about their fees, unlike banks).
I have saved literal THOUSANDS of Australian Dollars and Euros, my main currencies, when using Wise abroad when traveling compared to my debit and credit cards.
