Frequently Asked Questions

How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Iceland, and how many prepaid data plans are there?

There are over 120 travel eSIM providers and more than 7, 000 prepaid data plans available for Iceland. With such an extensive selection, travelers can easily find an eSIM that fits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Iceland?

There are several eSIM providers that offer unlimited data plans for Iceland, though many of them note that speeds may be throttled. Providers such as Firsty, Yoho Mobile, abesteSIM, Roamify, MicroEsim, Billion Connect, Truely, Yesim, and FairPlay all advertise unlimited data. Some plans come with a stated speed cap (for example, Firsty limits speed to 256 kbps, while others may limit to 5 Mbps) or may apply throttling after a certain usage threshold.

The price range for unlimited plans in Iceland spans from free with Firsty’s 1‑day offer to about $31‑$32 for the longer‑duration packages offered by Yoho Mobile, abesteSIM, and other providers. Most unlimited plans are priced between $2 and $30 for 1‑ to 15‑day validity periods, giving travelers a range of options based on how long they will stay and how much data they expect to use.

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Iceland?

Iceland's mobile network infrastructure is supported by three major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs):

Síminn: The oldest and largest telecommunications company in Iceland, offering extensive coverage and a wide range of services, including voice, text, and high-speed 4G and 5G data.
Vodafone Iceland: Part of the global Vodafone Group, providing mobile voice and data services with a focus on expanding their 4G and 5G network infrastructure.
Nova: An Icelandic telecommunications company offering mobile voice and data services, including 4G and 5G connectivity, with a significant market share in the country.

In addition to these MNOs, Iceland has Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) that offer mobile services by leasing access from major carriers. However, most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of the primary MNOs rather than MVNOs.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Iceland?

Travel eSIMs that include a phone number and SMS coverage are available for trips to Iceland. The providers that offer such plans in the dataset are GlobaleSIM and Roamify. GlobaleSIM delivers a broad selection of data‑only packages ranging from 1GB to 20GB with validity periods between 7 and 30 days, all billed in U.S. dollars. Prices start around $4.00 USD and can reach $12.00 USD for a 20GB, 30‑day plan. Roamify offers larger, all‑inclusive data bundles—from 15GB up to 500GB—typically valid for 30 days, costing between $15.00 USD and $120.00 USD. Both vendors provide a phone number and SMS capability, allowing you to receive and send text messages and place outgoing calls while in Iceland.

In each case the phone number comes with a foreign dialing code: GlobaleSIM uses +1, which is not the Icelandic country code (+354), and Roamify’s Iceland eSIMs use +33, the French code. Consequently, the numbers are not local Iceland numbers; they are international numbers that can be used for calls and SMS from Iceland. The voice service is inbound and outbound for GlobaleSIM, while Roamify supports inbound and outbound voice and SMS. If a local Icelandic number is required, these plans will not meet that need, but they do allow you to stay connected through international calls and SMS while travelling.
