While Uber does not operate in Albania, your EastESIM is still incredibly useful for getting around Tirana. You'll need reliable data to use popular local taxi apps such as Merr Taxi or Speed Taxi, which are the standard for booking rides. Alternatively, many drivers communicate directly via WhatsApp, for which your EastESIM provides the necessary connection. This ensures you can secure safe and convenient transportation throughout your Albanian adventure.
