Three mobile network providers offer their services in Montenegro: m:tel , T-Mobile and Telenor. For financial reasons, we strongly advise buying a prepaid SIM card of either one of the aforementioned three operators. SIM cards are available in almost all newspaper stands across the country, for the price of up to 5 Euros (same amount of credit included). The choice among the operators, and the special packages they offer, will depend on the trade-off between the quality and price that conforms to your specific needs - the following key notes should help you make the most fitting choice:

Coverage:

All three operators offer great coverage throughout the coast of Montenegro. However, should your traveling plans include remote and rural parts of the country, and necessitate the best network coverage that the country has to offer, we are inclined to suggest Telenor as the operator of choice.
