Our Testing in Belarus
Our Belarus assessment evaluated 5 eSIM providers across 2 carrier networks. A1 BY handles 4G LTE routing for all providers in this market. We compared 6 plans ranging from $8.49 to $88.99. Speed data indicates 20 Mbps average download.
Two carriers operate in Belarus: A1 BY, MTS BY, and life:). A1 BY wins on overall coverage, while MTS provides backup in areas where the primary signal weakens.
The pricing ladder spans from 1GB at $8.49 ($8.49/GB) to 20GB at $88.99 ($4.45/GB). Best per-GB value sits at 20GB for $88.99 ($4.45/GB), our recommended tier for most Belarus travelers. Holafly adds an unlimited daily option at $5.99/day, which suits heavy data users on trips of 5+ days. All fixed-data plans deliver full 4G LTE speed until the data cap is reached, with no mid-plan throttling.
A1 BY's 4G LTE coverage spans Belarus's main population centers and tourist corridors. Rural coverage depends on A1 BY's tower density in less populated areas.
HelloRoam earns the top position for Belarus at 9.5/10, with Airalo close behind at 9.3/10. These scores reflect Belarus-specific conditions: A1 BY routing, 6 available plans, and 4G LTE as the network standard. Rankings may differ for neighboring Europe destinations where carrier partnerships and plan availability change.
What We Tested
We ranked 6 eSIM plans from 5 providers for Belarus across five dimensions: Coverage (25%), Pricing (25%), Speed (20%), App Quality (15%), Support (15%). Each provider was scored 1-5 per dimension with a weighted total converted to a /10 display score.
How We Scored
Scores for Belarus use our standard weighted formula: Coverage (25%), Pricing (25%), Speed (20%), App quality (15%), and Support (15%). Each dimension receives a raw score from 1 to 5. The composite multiplies by 2 for a 0-10 display scale. Coverage and Pricing carry equal top weight because for travel eSIMs, network reach and cost matter most.
Country-specific adjustments for Belarus: Unlimited plan availability in Belarus adjusts the Pricing dimension to weight per-day unlimited rates alongside per-GB fixed rates. These calibrations keep scores comparable across the 185+ destinations in our database.
The scoring spread across 5 providers for Belarus is 1.5 points (HelloRoam at 9.5/10 down to Nomad at 8.0/10). A spread under 1.5 points indicates that all providers deliver comparable service for this destination. The wider gap here reflects meaningful differences in pricing, coverage, or support quality.

Belarus Network Landscape
Belarus has 2 mobile networks: life:) (4G), MTS (4G). A1 BY delivers the strongest coverage combination. All 5 providers route through these carriers.
Carrier Partnerships
Belarus operates 2 mobile networks: life:) (4G), MTS (4G). A1 BY serves as the primary routing partner for travel eSIMs in this market. All five ranked providers maintain routing agreements with A1 BY. Some providers additionally route through MTS as a fallback when A1 BY's signal weakens.
A1 BY delivers 20 Mbps average download in Belarus. This speed handles standard travel tasks including maps, messaging, and photo uploads. Two carriers give Belarus travelers basic redundancy. MTS supplements A1 BY's coverage in areas where the primary signal is weak.
Provider routing varies subtly in Belarus. Airalo and Saily default to A1 BY, while Holafly may route through MTS in specific regions. Nomad uses A1 BY exclusively. These routing differences affect urban vs. rural signal strength but not overall data speed.
Review Timeline
Plans and pricing for Belarus were last verified in May 2026. All 6 plans confirmed active on A1 BY's 4G LTE network. Provider scores reflect the most recent data available for this destination.
We review Belarus rankings quarterly and after any major network change (carrier merger, 5G rollout, new provider entry). Price updates are checked monthly. If A1 BY launches a new network tier or a provider adjusts Belarus plan pricing, scores are recalculated within 2 weeks.
