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 110 providers and 5, 800 prepaid data plans available for Iceland. With over 5, 800 plans, travelers have a wide variety of options, making it easy to find an eSIM that suits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Iceland?

There are a number of eSIM providers that offer unlimited data plans for Iceland, including Firsty, Yoho Mobile, Roamify, MicroEsim, Billion Connect, abesteSIM, Truely, Yesim, and FairPlay. Most of these plans include speed throttling; for example, Firsty limits speed to only 256 kbps, while several others cap speeds at 5 Mbps. The prices for these unlimited plans vary significantly, from a free 1‑day option with Firsty to roughly $30 for extended plans from abesteSIM. Travelers should therefore consider both their data usage needs and the speed limits when choosing a plan.

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?

Yes, travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS are available for Iceland. The providers that offer such plans are GlobaleSIM and Roamify. Both companies provide Iceland‑relevant eSIMs that include a phone number and SMS capabilities. GlobaleSIM’s Iceland plans use the dialing code +1, which is not a local Icelandic code (Iceland’s code is +354); the plans allow inbound voice calls, outbound voice calls, and inbound SMS. Roamify’s Iceland plans use dialing code +33 (France) and support inbound and outbound voice calls as well as inbound and outbound SMS.

Prices for GlobaleSIM Iceland plans start around $4.00 USD for a 1 GB data plan valid for 7 days and go up to about $12.00 USD for a 20 GB plan valid for 30 days. Roamify’s Iceland eSIMs begin at roughly $15.00 USD for a 15 GB data plan with 30‑day validity and rise to about $50.00 USD for 100 GB. All available plans include data, while telephony and SMS are supported but use foreign dialing codes rather than a local Icelandic number.
