This offer is supplemented by MVNOs attached to the providers like '''haloo '''and''' Go! free. '''Generally BH Telecom is market leader with slightly more than 40%, m:tel has a little less than 40% and the remainig 20% are on Eronet. 99% of the population are covered by 2G networks, 95% by 3G networks and 4G has only just begun and already reaches more than 80% in 2021.
   
 
Bosnia and Herzegovina’s telecom’s regulator ''Regulatorna agencija za komunikacije (''RAK) has issued 4G licences to the nation’s trio of mobile network operators (MNOs) in April 2019. The concessions are valid for 15 years and oblige the licence holders to begin offering commercial 4G services within one month of the award. The cellcos are also required to ensure the networks covers 90% of the country’s territory within five years of the award.

The RAK did not stipulate which spectrum band the allocated frequencies were in. Previously, RAK had identified the 1800 MHz band (B3) for LTE use, alongside the 900 MHz (B8) and 2100 MHz (B1) ranges, which are currently used for 2G and 3G networks, respectively. In 2019/20 4G/LTE started as one of the last countries in Europe on all three networks.

In 2019/20 4G/LTE started as one of the last countries in Europe on all three networks. The carriers are free to use bands on 800, 900, 1800 and 2100 MHz (B1, B3, B8 or B20). 5G hasn't started yet. Over the years different MVNOs started on all three networks, but only haloo on Eronet network survived.

SIM cards don't require registration in Bosnia and Herzegovina and remain anonymous. You can buy them in many stores, such as post offices, grocery stores, newsstands, service stations, and convenience stores for 4-5 KM. It's also possible to buy SIM cards at Sarajevo International Airport (Međunarodni Aerodrom Sarajevo). You can top up credit in many local stores or online on the pages of the provider.

[[File:No roaming.jpg|thumb|143x143px]]Bosnia and Herzegovina is '''neither '''part of the EU, nor of the EEA, where since 2017 new international roaming rules have been enforced. Roaming rates are '''not''' capped or regulated in the country and can be much higher than anywhere else in Europe. Better buy a local SIM card instead.
 
</div>In April 2019 Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia agreed to reduce roaming charges between their Balkan countries. The agreement will come into effect from July 2019 when roaming costs will be lowered and mobile calls will cost 0.19 € per minute, an SMS will cost 6 cents and internet will be 2.5 cents per MB roaming between these countries. It's intended to end all roaming surcharges by summer 2021 which is a prerequisite to eventually join the EU/EEA common roaming zone.

  +
Be aware that Bosnia and Herzegovina is '''neither '''part of the EU, nor of the wider EEA, where since 2017 new international roaming rules have been enforced. So roaming rates using EU/EEA-issued SIM cards are '''not''' regulated and can therefore be much higher. Better use a local or regional SIM card than an EU SIM.
  +
  +
Instead, from July 2021 Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia have become a single roaming area similar to EU rules. From now on you can roam without surcharges in the Western Balkans using a SIM card from these countries, but not in the EU.

Flag of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Basics[]

In Bosnia and Herzegovina three different network operators are active:

  • BH Telecom
  • m:tel (by Telekom Srpske)
  • HT Eronet (by HT Mostar)

This offer is supplemented by MVNOs attached to the providers like haloo and Go! free. Generally BH Telecom is market leader with slightly more than 40%, m:tel has a little less than 40% and the remainig 20% are on Eronet. 99% of the population are covered by 2G networks, 95% by 3G networks and 4G has only just begun and already reaches more than 80% in 2021.

Bosnia and Herzegovina’s telecom’s regulator Regulatorna agencija za komunikacije (RAK) has issued 4G licences to the nation’s trio of mobile network operators (MNOs) in April 2019. The concessions are valid for 15 years and oblige the licence holders to begin offering commercial 4G services within one month of the award. The cellcos are also required to ensure the networks covers 90% of the country’s territory within five years of the award.

In 2019/20 4G/LTE started as one of the last countries in Europe on all three networks. The carriers are free to use bands on 800, 900, 1800 and 2100 MHz (B1, B3, B8 or B20). 5G hasn't started yet. Over the years different MVNOs started on all three networks, but only haloo on Eronet network survived.

SIM cards don't require registration in Bosnia and Herzegovina and remain anonymous. You can buy them in many stores, such as post offices, grocery stores, newsstands, service stations, and convenience stores for 4-5 KM. It's also possible to buy SIM cards at Sarajevo International Airport (Međunarodni Aerodrom Sarajevo). You can top up credit in many local stores or online on the pages of the provider.


Be aware that Bosnia and Herzegovina is neither part of the EU, nor of the wider EEA, where since 2017 new international roaming rules have been enforced. So roaming rates using EU/EEA-issued SIM cards are not regulated and can therefore be much higher. Better use a local or regional SIM card than an EU SIM.

Instead, from July 2021 Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia have become a single roaming area similar to EU rules. From now on you can roam without surcharges in the Western Balkans using a SIM card from these countries, but not in the EU.

BH Telecom[]
