There are roughly 110 travel eSIM brands and about 5, 600 prepaid data plans available for use in Norway. The breadth of options is wide, making it easy for travelers to find an eSIM that suits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Norway?

Several eSIM providers offer unlimited data plans that can be used while traveling in Norway. Firsty provides a free unlimited option, though it contains ads and limits speed to 256 kbps. The other providers—Yoho Mobile, Roamify, MicroEsim, Billion Connect, abesteSIM, Truely, Yesim, Airhub and Airalo—all offer unlimited data, typically with a maximum speed of 5 Mbps or similar throttling. Prices for these plans start as low as $0.00 with Firsty and range up to about $29.07. Travelers should check the specific speed restrictions and validity periods for each plan, and choose one that offers sufficient bandwidth and cover the expected usage for their trip.

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

Telenor: Norway's largest telecommunications company, offering extensive nationwide coverage and a comprehensive range of mobile services.
Telia: The second-largest provider in Norway, delivering robust mobile services with significant coverage across the country.
Ice: The third-largest mobile operator, known for competitive pricing and a growing network infrastructure.

In addition to these major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), Norway hosts several Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs). MVNOs provide mobile services by leasing access from the major carriers, offering competitive plans on the same infrastructure. Notable Norwegian MVNOs include Talkmore and Chilimobil. However, it's important to note that most travel eSIMs rely on MNO infrastructure, not MVNOs.

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

Travel eSIMs that provide a phone number and SMS capability for use in Norway do exist. Several providers offer forfaits that include a local‑equivalent number for Norway, plus voice and SMS service, though the dialing code attached to the number is not Norway’s +47. Instead, the numbers are issued from other countries.

Roamify’s Norway eSIM packages run from 15 GB to 100 GB for 30 days; they use a French +33 number and support inbound and outbound voice calls as well as inbound and outbound SMS. MoreMins eSIM offers UK‑issued numbers (+44) with 35 GB and 25 GB data bundles for 30 days, again with full voice and SMS support. SimOptions supplies a range of plans (10 GB to 120 GB) that can be activated in Norway, each using a French +33 number and providing both inbound and outbound voice and SMS. Because the numbers are foreign, they are not local Norway numbers, but they do enable calling and texting while you are in Norway. If you need a strictly local Norwegian (+47) number, no provider in the current dataset offers that. However, all of the alternatives above allow you to receive calls and send texts from a phone number while traveling in Norway.
