“The application is good and the coverage depends on chosen supplier. Some suppliers are good, others need to be enhanced. The speed and coverage depends on the service provider and on the country infrastructure. Rate is acceptable.”

Norway Travel eSIM FAQ

Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Norway

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

Norway offers roughly 150 providers and more than 9, 000 prepaid data plans, giving travelers a wide variety of options to choose from.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Norway?

Unlimited data eSIM options are available for travel to Norway. Seven providers offer truly unlimited plans, and they range from a free, 1‑day offer to a 30‑day plan that still carries no data cap. Speed is generally throttled on these offers: the free Firsty pack is limited to 256 kbps; abesteSIM caps the bandwidth at about 5 Mbps; the remaining carriers note that “speed may be throttled” but do not specify a hard limit. The price spectrum spans from $0.00 (Firsty) to roughly $39.90 (Yesim), with most plans falling between $2.00 and $38.00 and validity periods ranging from 1 to 30 days. If a user requires higher speeds or would prefer a dedicated data allowance without throttling, it would be advisable to select a plan with a firm data limit that matches their expected usage.

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 include a phone number and SMS coverage for Norway are available from several providers listed on eSIMDB. GlobaleSIM, Roamify and Orange Travel offer plans that provide a phone number, inbound and outbound voice calls and inbound/outbound SMS, and eSimfly’s Norway‐focused bundles also include those features. The plans come in a range of data caps from 1 GB to 500 GB, with prices beginning at roughly $4 USD for a 7‑day 1 GB plan and extending to about $120 USD for 90‑day 500 GB packages. Validity periods vary from 7 days up to 90 days, and most plans also allow tethering where noted.

All of the available Norway plans use foreign dialing codes rather than the local Norwegian code (+47). Providers that use the U.S. +1 code (GlobaleSIM) give you a U.S. number, while those that use the French +33 code (Roamify, Orange Travel, eSimfly) give you a French number; voicemail is not listed, but each plan supports inbound/outbound voice and SMS. Because the numbers are not local Norwegian numbers, they can be used for calling and texting anywhere internationally, but if you need a true Norway‑local number you would need a different provider not listed here.
