## eSIM vs local SIM vs roaming in North Macedonia

|  | LinkPaLS eSIM | Local SIM card | Home roaming |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Set up | At home, before you fly | On arrival, at a shop or kiosk | Already on |
| ID needed | None | Usually a passport | None |
| Your home number | Stays on | Removed while the SIM is out | Stays on |
| Cost | Paid once | Low, but only after arrival | Often the most expensive |
