Providers such as Earth Esim, abesteSIM, ASIMGO, Roamify, MicroEsim, Yesim, EtravelSIM, esimzon, Numero eSIM, Ohayu, Orange Travel and FairPlay all offer unlimited data plans, though many of them allow speeds to be throttled or set a maximum speed limit ranging from 1 Mbps to 10 Mbps. Overall, prices for these unlimited plans vary from about $1.49 to roughly $28.49 USD, depending on the provider, validity period and additional features.

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 eSIMs with a phone number and SMS support for Iceland are available. RedEx eSIM offers a plan that includes a local Icelandic phone number dialed as +354, with inbound and outbound voice calls and inbound and outbound SMS, 20 GB of data, a 30‑day validity period and a price of about $24.04 USD.

Other providers also sell eSIMs that cover Iceland, but the phone numbers on those plans come from foreign dialing codes such as +1 (United States), +48 (Poland), +44 (United Kingdom), +33 (France), or +34 (Spain). These plans still give voice and SMS capability, but the number is not local to Iceland. Travelers should review the dialing code before purchasing if a local Icelandic number is required.
