Buying a local SIM card No ID registration needed

Registration
The rules are murky: some guides say anyone can buy a Lithuanian SIM with no paperwork, while others report stores asking for a passport to register the card. Carry your passport when buying and expect some shops to record your details.
Where to buy
Operator and brand stores in Vilnius, Kaunas and Klaipeda, plus supermarkets like Maxima, Rimi and Iki, petrol stations, kiosks, post offices and convenience stores. At Vilnius Airport, SIMs are sold from a Narvesen kiosk, but you pay more there for smaller allowances than in city shops.
Local eSIM
It is unclear which Lithuanian operators sell prepaid eSIMs to visitors. What is clear is that a local SIM or eSIM is excellent value inside Lithuania and poor value the moment you cross a border, so a regional travel eSIM makes more sense for a wider Baltic trip.

Good to know

Prepaid brands wear different names in shops: look for Ezys, Extra, Pildyk and Labas, not Telia, Tele2 and Bite. An idle SIM quietly drains itself: with no plan active, a small daily fee is deducted from your credit, so top up only what you will use and activate a plan straight away. Most importantly, cheap Lithuanian prepaid data does not travel: domestic packages cannot be used elsewhere in the EU and separate, pricier roaming packs are needed, so pick a plan that explicitly includes an EU allowance if Lithuania is one leg of a longer trip. Checking your balance by USSD on Pildyk also costs a small fee; the app and website are free.

Local carriers

  • Telia Lietuva

    Largest network with the best coverage. Prepaid is sold under the Ezys and Extra brands rather than the Telia name.

  • Tele2 Lietuva

    Fastest speeds by a clear margin and the cheapest way in. Its prepaid brand is Pildyk.

  • Bite Lietuva

    Slightly behind on coverage but fine in populated areas. Its prepaid brand Labas needs SMS activation, with instructions printed only in Lithuanian.

Data checked July 2026

Source dates: Prepaid Data SIM Card Wiki: retrieved 30 Jul 2026, page indexed 18 Mar 2026; carries the daily-charge detail with dates | Phone Travel Wiz: last updated 1 Mar 2024 | Gamintraveler: 31 Jan 2024 | Pumpkinabroad: 23 Apr 2025 | Gigago: 21 Mar 2025 (eSIM seller) | ExpressVPN survey: 27 Feb 2026 (demonstrably stale - see conflicts_notes)

Sources disagree: Whether ID is required at purchase is contradicted across sources, with no regulator or operator page retrieved to settle it. The idle-card daily fee and EU roaming surcharge specifics are single-sourced to the prepaid wiki, and all pricing (2024-2025 vintage) was omitted.
