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 eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS service are available for Iceland from providers such as GlobaleSIM and Roamify. GlobaleSIM’s Iceland packages start at $4.00 for 1 GB over 7 days, with a dialing code of +1 and support for inbound/outbound voice calls and inbound SMS. Roamify offers an Iceland package beginning at $15.00 for 15 GB over 30 days, using a +33 dialing code and supporting inbound/outbound voice and SMS. Prices range from a few dollars for a few days of data to several dozen dollars for larger data packages, with validity periods typically 7 days to 30 days.

Both providers supply phone numbers that are not local Icelandic numbers but rather U.S. (+1) or French (+33) numbers, so calls and texts originate from those foreign networks. If a local Icelandic number is required, these plans will not meet that need; you would need a plan with the Iceland dialing code +354. Nonetheless, the available options allow you to receive calls and send texts while in Iceland using the provided foreign phone number.
